    Thank the lord we also had Gassiev vs Dorticos to watch as well, this was one of the worst fights I've ever seen.

    Both these fighters are on a fast-track to absolutely no where and won't move past British level, book it.

    Either of these jokes would be KO'd in the 1st round by Gassiev, Dorticos, Breidis etc....even Tony Bellew would school them.

    What a total disgrace that "fight" was.

    Wow. 2 guys clinched for 10 rounds straight. I hardly counted punches. It was punch, clinch for a year, punch again, clinch again, punch again, clinch again. I didn't think a rivalry of this sort, all the build up, could result in a fight that turned out to be even worse than Parker vs Fury. I can't believe I'm even saying that. Parker vs Fury was shocking but at least we saw SOME action. Ie, there were styles and punches thrown, aggression shown..

    In this there were clinches, and that's all there was. Clinches, Clinches and more clinches. Embarrassment... Hugging for 10 rounds, pathetic

    Okolie is a much less skilled Wilder. And Chamberlain is a scared little boy.

    Bellew would ice either. And I hate Bellew.

    I sat watching the Gassiev vs Dorticos bout, only flicking over occasionally. The Okolie and Chamberlain fight was sleep inducing, for such a big build up it was a complete letdown. Absolutely awful fight.

    Shame most people missed two elite cruisers fight their hearts out on ITV4 to watch another turd polished by the Sky publicity machine instead.

    Okolie leaned on Chamberlain all fight which made the fight crappy but I guess was effective. Chamberlain was just nervous as hell, you could tell by his trainers face that he bottled it.

    Just watched a bit of the wbss highlights and those guys look like fully grown massive men compared to these two Brits, I don't think any of them can compete with the top dogs at cw. Okolie has the height and reach but that is all.

    A lot of people are saying it's poor match making by Eddie I disagree, however to have them headline the O2 in hindsight was a little too soon especially for Chamberlain.

    Chamberlain is gonna have a really tough journey back. He's not a KO artist and his style isn't the most attractive even when he's at his best. Okolie is in an even more difficult position as he has a few more fights until he has no choice but to be fed to the top dogs at cw.

    The difference between these two and Buatsi is off the scale. Such differences in ability are so evident when you seen them on the same bill

    Awful fight, both are overhyped. Feel a bit stupid having missed part of the Gassiev fight to watch some of that! What I don't get is Chamberlain had a point taken off at the first opportunity but Okolie got warned around 10 times before he had a point deducted. Okolie comes across as arrogant and annoying but I don't think it will be long before he gets stopped.

    Okolie was just too strong, sitting ringside you could see it was like man v boy in there in terms of strength. think Okolie would've won regardless but Chamberlain wasn't given a fair fight either

    Completely agree.

    Okolie is so so bad, cannot wait until he is KTFO, which will be very, very soon.

    This was Sky's version of Holyfield-Qawi 1
