    That was interesting, Light tried to stay inside without punching then launched a right hand over the top in earnest. Interesting wee trap, though he missed. Nice, Okolie gets a warning too for leaning with the elbow, that's great to see. ****ing hell, I think Light nicked that middle minute, Okolie looks a little bit disorganised, very nice. And there's a lovely two-piece on the inside, reaching up, allows himself to be prodded all the way back to the ropes, this is another very very even round, fair play to the wee man.

    Okolie:1,2,
    Light:3,

    I can't really see Okolie being succesful at heavyweight, his style is dependant on being the physically stronger fighter and being able to stop the opponents offense by clinching and pulling them into punches

    Round 1 Light 10-9
    Round 2 Okolie 10-9
    Round 3 Light 10-9

    Okolie just jabbing and moving. Light getting a little closer now. Okolipus immediately returns. Light somehow sliding in and landing his jab. Manages to get in nand land a cuffing right.Then tries to loop it over the top. Better from Light.

    Okolie is really painful to watch.

    Could you ever imagine him going head on, toe to toe?

    Okollie will get viciously knocked out by a left hook one day, he’s very open for it.

    Where's Okolie's power gone though? Doesn't seem to have much pop atm...

    Light sees that too. He just doesn't quite have the reach to pull it off.

    Huge fourth, which way is this thing going to go? We've seen two good adjustments so far let's see if we get another. Okolie is giving less gorund, looking for the jab and a tasty counter trailing uppercut as Light moves in on him - holds. Hangs the lead hand. Year one feints. Hahahahaha Okolie looks pretty funny trying to find that jab, commentary are tortured about it. Light lands his first decent punch of the round with the old Hagler-pounce right, man the size difference is notable when Light tries to grapple Okolie. Round up for grabs in the last minute, Okolie edging it currently. Wow, great left hand from Light sends off some spray! This fight is up for grabs!


    Okolie:1,2,
    Light:3,4,

    I legit hate Octopolie just for his cowardly, ugly spoiler cheating style. It's the ugliest and most dishonourable and most unmanly style I've ever seen.
