Let's be honest here both Okolie and Chamberlain are garbage

    Really pants fight. Both guys' stock dropped in my eyes. Bellew summed it up RE Chamberlain "he's making Okolie miss but not making him pay"

    Okolie looked one dimensional and clumsy. Chamberlain I think partly just bottled it. That early KD and point deduction certainly wouldn't have helped. I won't moan at Hearn for this though because I think it was the right fight to make. Not sure it should ever have been a headliner but that matters little to me

    Cheeseman-Jones was fun and it was a good performance from Cheeseman, showed a layer to him I didn't know existed.

    Okolie was displaying Henry Akinwande level jab and grab tactics. With his spider like arms and legs he could probably tangle his way to Fringe world level and bore the life out of us for years to come.

    That Gassiev guy would knock them both out.

    The fight was rubbish. All the hype and supposed hatred for a damp squib reminded me of Bellew / Cleverly II.

    How it sold out the O2 is one for the late Arthur C Clarke

    It wasn't a sell out but was well attended. Plenty of empty seats and upper tier not open.

    I maybe meant headlined. Still one for Arthur C.
