    Perhaps ironic but Okolie put in his best performances under McGuigan and looked to be improving. Left him, reverted to type and lost in quite embarrassing fashion against a McGuigan fighter.

    The cruiser division is in the gutter.

    Go back to the WBSS and neither get an invite as a reserve

    Yeah wtf lol? The problem with boxing these days when people turn topics on fights into victories for Matchroom when it has nothing to do with them. Narcissistic beahviour.

    I actually enjoyed that card, enjoyed the upsets, and as great/dreadful as CBS v Okolie was, both were awfully classy, especially Okolie, when losing for the first time.

    I agree. Okolie was a shocking champ. Billaim Smith beat him. At least he is a boxer. He could lose his next fight but at least he’ll do it in whilst doing the sport the prize is in.

    He has definitely gone backwards since leaving McGuigan. Deserved to lose tonight.

    It was good. Most people wrote Eggington off, but he sure did teach Pigford a lesson. Always love seeing Eggington fight, and yeah, now we have a new CW champion.

    It may not be the best division, but at least fights get made there. CBS check left gave Okolie fits and he never recovered from it. Didn't think Okolie would lose tonight but here we have it, and hopefully we don't see a rematch despite it being an entertaining in a random sort of way haha.

    Bizarre with all Skys big time boxing experience. The most obscure signing.
