    I like the fact Light creates space with his left and then throws a chopping right whenever Oklie ties him up, I think it will be a matter of time until Okolie lands clean and hurts him but so far hes fighting well

    How will Light win a round? That is the fun question fo rthis fight, how will he get that done? Okolie is dusting him now, landing meaty shots in the first minute of the second, and disturbingly countering him with two seperate right hands, one over the top, one to the body, as Light tries to step in. Light tries to mobile his guard because he's been hurt to the body and he's also narrowed his stance I think...all for naught, Okolie moving off well, standing his ground to throw but with enough range that it doesn't really afford a meaningful opportunity. Easy work. One might even say light work. Light can't even hold him round the head. Okolie just stands as Light tries to grapple.

    Okolie:1,2,
    Light:

    Watching Okolie just makes me think how weak the cruiserweight division must be.

    I didn't know the Kronk style also involved plenty of octopussing, Okolie must've fitted in seemlessly.

    Round 1 Light 10-9
    Round 2 Okolie 10-9

    Okolie keeping him at the end of his jab, Light a little more apprehensive this round. Can't close the distance. Gets nailed with a hard right late.

    White should come in low and try some short hooks from close distance.
