    Round 1 Light 10-9
    Round 2 Okolie 10-9
    Round 3 Light 10-9
    Round 4 Light 10-9
    Round 5 Okolie 10-9

    Light probably outworked him, and landed a heavy right late, that the announcers ignored. But Okolie's 3 hard rights nick it for him.

    Okolie is like the guy who uses a glitch to cheese computer games. It seems unfair, as it's so ugly to watch, but it's incredibly effective.

    In fairness to Okolie his opponents are almost always garbage which doesn't help.

    Octopolie is a bigger coward than Belly. Can't believe the ref is just allowing him to hold his arm out and stiff-arm nonstop to keep Light at bay and then octopus grab him up whenever he gets into range. Octopolie is nothing without his size advantage and incessant use of illegal tactics

    They open with a dynamic grapple but what a nice jab from Light on the way off. Man, Okolie landed a good right hand to the body there, you wonder why he hasn't thrown that punch more, and another, his corner told him that's the punch, he's landed often with that punch, why not? ****in hell, left jab turns into a full body check :lol: Okolie is untidy tonight. He's also pretty passive, when Light gets in and works the body he looks like the aggressor despite Okolie's work rate.

    This fight is legitimately up for grabs. Okolie has taken many, many more steps.

    Okolie:1,2,5,6,
    Light:3,4,

    Ref is telling him not to do it and Okolie just ignoring him because he knows there will be no consequence.

    Round 1 Light 10-9
    Round 2 Okolie 10-9
    Round 3 Light 10-9
    Round 4 Light 10-9
    Round 5 Okolie 10-9
    Round 6 Light 10-9

    Okolie not committing to anything, which is allowing Light to get inside and rough him up. He easily outworked him in the 6th.

    You gotta keep in mind Light doesn't even deserve this opportunity, he was completely outworked by Glanton and badly hurt twice in that fight.
    I think stylistically Glanton would give Okolie a lot of trouble with his physical style and workrate

    Ben Shalom must be having buyer's remorse.
