    Round 1
    Okolie 10-9

    What a surprise! Okolie is fighting in his usual octopus style..Rough round all round. A lot of hand parrying, which is somewhat unusual for two orthodox boxers.

    Would love to see Briedis give Okolie a few savage muay thai elbows

    Constant holding and hitting from Okolie here, holds him behind the head with the left and punches away with the right

    Everyone calls Devin Haney a hugger.....OKOLIE is a human OCTOPUS!

    Jesus Christ, Okolie is so hard to watch. He hugs more than Haney

    Why is Okolie permitted to get away with so much holding?

    And he hits while holding, which is ILLEGAL, but it seems the most important part of his game plan.

    It's repeated over and over, makes his fights painful to watch.

    Okolie paying homage to Johnny Nelson, making sure the crowd get their moneys worth

    So painful to watch. It's like Okolie has glue on his gloves and he sticks to his opponents with every shot.

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

    Okolie out fast, lands to the shoulders, then tees off on them. Long right lands to the head of CBS, he rolls with it. CBS gets in close, Okolie grabs and holds. CBS lads a few jabs, Okolie lands hards right to the chin. CBS takes it well again. CBS gets in close, Okolie grabs hits him in the kidney. Okolie throws a 3 punch combo, partially lands most of it. CBS pressing forward behind high guard, Okolie holds holds holds. CBS lands a right to the body.

    Clinch clinch clinch. Okollie wide open for a sneaky left hook. But smith just to basic and workman like.
