    Got a sneaky feeling Okolie will get through at some point. CBS is doing well enough after a slow start but apart from that left hook and the points off, there's not much in it.

    CBS isn't being very effective either.

    Okolie changed his tactics now...for now, head down wing shots in and lean on CBS, throwing shots wildly, eventually he will tire in a round and back to holding and then probably be DQed.

    CBS just needs to stay on his feet and it's coming.

    Made a career out of getting through at some point after holding throughout the fight. About time he got his comeuppance.

    Should of been DQed when he fought Matty Askins, ref of that fight would of saved years subjecting us to this.

    "Holding" has morphed into "leaning" and it's no less dull eh

    Okolie managing the holding now quite Claverley but it's still blatant.

    Ref should just thrown him out by now.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but has Okolie always fought like he's pissed out of his head?

    Who on the commentary said you can't DQ in a world title fight, of course you can, can't just let someone hold constantly.
