    How did one judge score this 112-112?

    Of course... But do you honestly see him weighing up the risk/reward and deciding to take that fight?

    Regardless for how long CBS holds the belts, or whatever he does in the rest of his career, I would like to thank him for finally taking those belts of one of the biggest spoilers In history. If he didn’t win, we would have had to suffer another 6 or 7 defences against fighters of the level of Prasovic or David Lights of this world. Massive bet by Boxxer on this guy and Buatsi isn’t looking a smart Investment so far.

    Nothing, Billam-Smith looks like a large version of him.

    Okolie's boring style didn't work this time but was completely outboxed...

    Exactly. He was not even hiding what his intention was. And clinching is one thing, and constantly holding and hugging is completely different thing.
    Again the moment it's clear the guy has a strategy to clinch/hold/hug, 2 warnings, then start deducting a points, with 1 warning after every deduction, and on the 3rd time, straight up DQ.
    This was pathetic to watch, and SO SO SO obvious that both the ref and the judges was paid off.

    At this point there is not much reason to follow boxing for real. What's the point? To constantly get mad over corruption and b.c. decision. It's literally every single week, and every second they get away with murdering ....

    Same for the rules, as they bend them for "the right guy".
    Absolutely pathetic.

    And Okolie was saying he would have beaten Usyk, and was challenging him. :D This guy is a comedian ....

    Okolie is very happy he didn't fight breidis. That would of have been more brutal than the charr KO, how easy he fell down with a few left hooks from Billam-Smith tonight.

    Totally agree. The thing that annoys me most of all about Okolie is he won't stop with the cheating and holding no matter how many points deductions the ref gives him and he has no honour whatsoever in the ring. I cannot respect anyone who fights like that. For me, a fighter without honour is not a real fighting man.

    At least Okolie wasn’t an octopussy in defeat- credit for that. I have never seen a style as bad as Okolie or wanted to see a fighter lose as much as him.
