    Exactly my point - he's not going to go there... So can he hold onto it a while by fighting second rate fighters, as is common for champs these days? For a while, sure!

    Don't worry guys, we'll see it again. Okolie has a rematch clause. :)

    I see what others can't, it is what it is. My ability to read a fight in next level.:D Usually the only time I get it wrong, is when fighters fight completely out of character, sometimes it's due to fear of what's coming back at them, but most of the time it's a miscalculation. Like with Pigford today, almost everyone expected a war, and had pig headed Pigford came out guns blazing, looking to hurt Sam from the opening bell, the fight was there for him. It's not like Eggington is a hard target to find. But of all the days for a dunderheaded brawler to attempt to show off his skillset.:lol::duh As far as CBS goes, I laid out why I thought he'd pull the upset on the first page and as much as I despise Okolie, I rarely pick against him, because most of his opponents don't have the tools to deal with him, CBS did. As far as Wood goes, all he needed to do was keep his right hand up and protect is chin, and easy money. He dominated him the first time, until he got lazy. I knew Ben Davison would drill it into his head, take zero risk, just box and protect that chin, and he followed orders like a soldier.

    Okolie is basically Audley 2.0.

    Nothing I hate more than the spoiler style. Kick these maggots out of the game because not only do they suck the life out of a fight, they suck the life out of the sport. It's completely unwatchable. Ugly as hell. Completely devoid of honour. Extremely unmanly. And I find it absolutely infuriating to watch. That's why I couldn't give a hoot or a toot about Catterall getting robbed against Taylor. He's not near as bad as Okolie in that regard (no one is) but I still find him unwatchable and infuriating to watch or at least against Taylor he was.

    Okolie hugging and smothering for another 12 rounds? Certainly something to look forward to. :confused: :lol:

    2 point deductions and 3 knockdowns, yet somehow Benjamin Rodriguez scored it 112-112 :lol:
    I just looked him up and he seems pretty new to judging fights and this was his second title fight. Pretty clear that he should not be judging world title fights.
