    Result not on boxrec and I watched the entire card. Can't see anything on twitter either.

    Surely his fight debut fight would be televised???

    Know henshaw pulled out but a guy with two losses only. Looked a very serious knockout at first

    That wasn't on, that sort of match making is way off, I know it's a debut and it will be a soft touch but come on, that is boardering on a crime :risas3:

    Absolute **** up from Sky and Hearn tbh. I don't rate Okolie personally but it was the perfect platform to sell him to the casuals. Instead Sky treated us to an absolutely **** borefest "Battle of ****ing Blackpool" and women's boxing. Made a whole marketing campaign "Okolie's out the cage" and in the end, back in the cage he went.

    They knew what sort of opponents that was, it isn't a good look even on a debut.

    I thought it was a very poor card tonight in general including the main event, complete mismatch.

    This chap was sent to clean the toilets at the Arena and agreed to get in the ring at a late stage for an extra £20 per minute

    Hearn was hopeing one of the undercard fights would end in KO so he could squeeze Okolie on before the main event, that didn't happen so Okolie missed out.

    They definitely need to get him an opponent with a bit more boxing savvy for his next fight, i know he's only just started in the pros but this guy hits very hard, he will learn nothing from fighting guys like that.
