Comments Thread For: Lawrence Okolie-Chris Billiam-Smith WBO Title Fight Set, May 27 in Bournemouth

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lawrence Okolie will get to make up for lost time. A career-long 13 month layoff endured by the WBO cruiserweight titlist is now followed by his second fight in a two-month span. Okolie is set to make the fourth defense of his title versus countryman Chris Billam-Smith atop a May 27 Sky Sports show from Vitality Stadium in the challenger's hometown of Bournemouth, England. BOXXER confirmed the title defense during a press conference held Tuesday in London.

What is wrong with the promoters and broadcasters? Conlan, Wood and now Okolie all on the same date. Why.

Well that's a surprise. I thought these two were pals. Want to get some tickets for this one.

This one will be a sell out.

It will turn into an Okolie fight and it won't be close

That's what I'm thinking. If Wood/Lara 2 and Okolie/CBS are on simultaneously, I know which fight I'm choosing.

Hopefully the winner will fight Riakporhe. I can see Okolie outmuscling Billam-Smith and getting the win.

I'd love to see Billiam-Smith win but everyone knows at the first sign of danger Laurence will put him in an octopus grasp asap. Hopefully CBS has been working on how to avoid his lanky tentacle arms.
