    Henry Akinwande​ lmao.

      Well done Billam-Smith, I guess he kinda exposed Okolie.

      Okolie did win some rounds clearly, but the rounds Chris won were bigger, due to the knockdowns and points deductions.

      It was a very scrappy and somewhat entertaining fight.

      Okolie has this way of punching and when inside, holding and wrestling. It's just not that good to watch, but I fully respect him and all fighters.

      So, for those who want to dissect another scorecard, how do you like this one? One judge saw it a draw, and the other two have it as wide as seven and nine points.

      I think the correct score would be somewhere between the draw and the way too wide margins.
      Just looking at the knockdowns and point deductions, it’s a 30-22 before you count in the other rounds. That’s already a 8 point difference which is crazy.

        Great fight. Arguably the best fight of all time. It was a massive come down switching over for the last 6 rounds of the very average Leigh Wood vs a disinterested Lara. Time for Lara to run off with his title money and enjoy some p@ssy. For Wood, maybe a rematch with Jazza ****ens before he settles down to the rest of his life in Gedling, Nottinghamshire. Nash out

          Okolie brought his glass chin from the AM's.

            The thing that was concerning a number of fights back is that Okolie looks like his legs are of a man who is 50 years old....stiff, no balance, falls in like he is being paid a lot of money to fall in.

              One of the strangest fights I've seen in a while. Another crazy scorecard too.

              The atmosphere sounded good; sounded good at all 3 cards tonight.

                He might have taken a nap for a week with a shot from a decent top heavyweight on his exposed jaw in a similar situation to CBS' first knock down.

                As others have stated Okolie probably has the worst style of any world level champion.

                  Lol! I missed it but I’ve never known you to steer us wrong. I’ll definitely replay.

                      Truthfully it was crap, yet pretty interesting at the same time. I'd recommend maybe watching extended highlights of it. Good to see Laurence Hugkolie lose. Nash out
