The arena is really starting to fill up, by the way. It will be close to completely packed out by the main event.

Round two: Ngabu 18-20 Okolie

Ngabu did well to tie Okolie up in that round and make it an awkward one, but he’s not really throwing anything back.

Ngabu’s nose is bloodied and he’s just being outworked at the moment. Not too much action in the second there.

Round three: Ngabu 27-30 Okolie

Okolie landed a few good straight rights in the third but the fight is just being contested at no distance and as usual with his fights, it makes for ugly viewing.

He does hit so, so hard though and it’ll be wearing down the body of Ngabu.

Round four: Ngabu 36-40 Okolie

Really bad round for spectators, Okolie just isn’t keeping his distance so is being smothered.

He’s landing the odd jab and it’s keeping him winning the rounds but it’s not enjoyable to watch. Especially when Ngabu isn’t actually throwing anything back...

Round five: Ngabu 45-50 Okolie

Better! Okolie steps back and lands a right hook which hurts Ngabu, but the European champion smothers him again. It would be a good tactic if he actually wanted to get involved with the throwing of punches.

Okolie throws a left hand followed by a right and the blood from Ngabu’s nose splatters all over the ring.

Round six: Ngabu 55-60 Okolie

Was there a punch landed in that round? If there was, I didn’t see it. Can only give that one a draw - because why not make it interesting?

It’s all over! 

Lawrence Okolie wins the European cruiserweight belt!

[26 October 2019 20:20 · Adam Hamdani]

The fight suddenly comes to life as Okolie lands a good and telling combination to the head and Ngabu is shaken badly on his feet, he falls into the ropes and the referee saves him.

It all started with a wonderfully timed right hand to the chin.

A horrible fight to watch but Okolie is now the European champion.

Okolie speaking after the fight:

”I feel good, I knew he’d clinch on the inside. He was definitely tough, every fight I’ve had has either been a 50/50 or they’ve been champions. I’m learning and progressing.”

[26 October 2019 20:25 · Adam Hamdani]

Lawrence Okolie moves to 14-0 and is picking up all the belts as he goes along.
