    Not been on here in months but thought last night warranted me coming back on.

    that is up there with one of the worst shows I’ve EVER watched.

    Hughie's wife doesn't even want Hughie's face to be the face of Hughie Fury.

    Looked like his mum and dad dropped him off on the way home from a McDonald’s 9th birthday party.

    The second okolie loses he's done. No fanbase and a boring number of fights. He's good AJ main support but no more than that.

    Hearn must be delighted he never paid big money keep Okolie. Such a boring fighter. David Light was tough and brave but isn't better than British level standard. Okolie is just lucky the division does not have the quality it had a few years sgo, as he would get destroyed if it had.

    Shalom hasn't a scooby. Oktopus is our Akinwande.

    I read the first paragraph in a write up about Okolie’a fight. Didn’t bother reading anymore and it totally justified me never watching his fights.

    Looked like a small version of Chisora plodding forward and throwing far too little.

    After years of Parker boring the British public, please no more Kiwis unless one comes with real ambition.

    Somebody with quicker hands and feet than Light could have made it a lot closer. I still rate Okolie and he's hard to get to but we saw signs he might not dominate the division like Usyk.
