I knew that it was going to be a wrestling match. I refused to watch it, I would rather rinse my eyes with acid rain.

an okolie fight is worse than a cricket 5 day test match and more boring

[Honest]

I couldn't watch two rounds!!! Okolie is a farce, a travesty, a joke, a wrestler. Deffo not a boxxer! Like Jay Opetaia said: 'grass growing, paint drying, Okolie boxing'!

To be fair, Okolie had a run of reasonably entertaining fights and KOs but this last fight was abysmal and there were strong grounds for him to be Disqualified for excessive clinching. He's lucky he only got 1 point deducted by the Brit ref. We'll see if it was a ring rust thing or just teething problems with a new coach. I think he's been hesitant of getting knocked out ever since Erislandy Savon knocked him out in 1 round back in 2016 but I thought in his last few fights he'd got over it. Seems not. Maybe it's just the standard game plan he uses against aggressive come-forward guys but it's frustrating to watch as a boxing fan because it turns a boxing match into some kind of Sumo wrestling hybrid.
