    Don't think I'll ever get used to 'King' rather than 'Queen'. Doesn't sound right.

    Is that his catchphrase? Raise your drinks and get WIIIILD.

    Not sure it’ll take off like let’s get ready to rumble.

    Big Mo is getting embarrassing - the Boxxer vignettes with him doing fake intros and stuff has gone to his head.

    The gestures as he does the final announcements are just total cringe, and his "get WILD" thing is chronic. Just shout the names and get off!

    The music is terrible as the announcer is talking

    I still call him Prince Charles - cannot get my head adjusted to the change following the death of Her Majesty last year.

    Going by this first round, the fight won't go long. Took just over a minute for Okolie to try his first bear hug though.

    David not so light on his feet getting tagged at distance and hugged when he gets in close.

    Can see Okolie plan is to set up the big right hook. Settled later into the round, does anyone know why he left McGuigan? He looked really improved under him.

    Light looks like he may live up to his name and head to the floor soon.

    Then again, many thought the same after round 1 Joshua v Ruiz in New York.

    Round 1: Okolie 10-9

    This is a great watch. I’m hoping Okolie lands that right hand quickly.

    Light v Lyndon Arthur would be a classic with both styles gelling very well for an all time stinker.

    It'll take a good while before it starts to feel relatively normal.
