    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.

    You're not allowed to do that with your arm or hold like and octopus, refs allow Octopolie to do it non stop

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

    That was interesting, Light tried to stay inside without punching then launched a right hand over the top in earnest. Interesting wee trap, though he missed. Nice, Okolie gets a warning too for leaning with the elbow, that's great to see. ****ing hell, I think Light nicked that middle minute, Okolie looks a little bit disorganised, very nice. And there's a lovely two-piece on the inside, reaching up, allows himself to be prodded all the way back to the ropes, this is another very very even round, fair play to the wee man.

    Okolie:1,2,
    Light:3,

    I can't really see Okolie being succesful at heavyweight, his style is dependant on being the physically stronger fighter and being able to stop the opponents offense by clinching and pulling them into punches
