    Someone keep an eye on Spencer Fearon, this might send him over the edge

    Are you Hearn’s boyfriend or something :lol: Stick to watching Lara v Wood with the other 12 viewers.

    This was supposed to be a a quick profit bosster prior to the Riakporhe fight. They are very lucky cbs is from Bournemouth and a nice lad. issue they are going to have if he wins the rematch is. Not a sole is watching cbs vs Riakporhe 2

    I can 1000000% assure you more people would watch CBS v Riakporhe than are watching Lara v Wood

    Boxxer / Sky Sports can send Okolie back to the burger bar. That's where he belongs.

    Harsh of people to criticise Smith here. Fighting that monstrosity, had a bigger man falling all over you for 12 rounds what did you want him to do? The ref, as usual didn’t do his job. I was sure CBS would lose the fight out of exhaustion having been allowed to be manhandled in a wrestling match which isn’t what they signed up to.

    Ever done something against someone that bad they’re good!? I used to play against a lad who didn’t even know what foot he was at 18 and he was a ****ing nightmare to play against. He’d either shoot and it would go for a throw or it would end up in the top corner was ****ing madness. It reminds me of Okolie, he is absolutely shocking but if he’s allowed to be which he always will be it’s effective. Amazing from CBS if you ask me. Deserves all the credit in the world.

    I agree. Okolie is utterly hopeless to watch.

    Absolute weirdo isn’t he. Him and that Big Drama Show or whatever he’s called definitely have posters of Hearn on their bedroom walls.

    Okolie is done. How can you fight like that in last few rounds knowing you are so far behind. Ref should have DQd him as well

    Oh give it a rest for one night haha.

    Sure, it was an ugly fight, but I found it mildly entertaining. Okolie would be a gun fighter if he swapped cinching with an actual jab instead of just pawing it out and smothering his own work. Sadly, he's uncoachable.

    Hope to see CBS v Opetaia or Riakporhe next. Great atmosphere too.
