Anyone who puts themselves through this again I respect you.

Okolie knocks out thousands of people every time he fights

Lawrence Hugolie the octopus is the GHOAT. Greatest Hugger Of All Time

before the bell - "Touch gloves" probably okolies best punch of the fight 😕

Okolie landed a lot of good scoring hugs

That Judge who gave that fight 112-112 is blind.

Absolutely shocking calling okolie a boxer. Don't think I've seen that much cuddling, holding, grabbling in a WWF/WWE or MMA match.

Must have been a frustrating fight for Chris. Good on him for being patient. How Okolie made it this far in the sport behaving like that is beyond me.

We all know why okolie holds so much now, the guy doesn’t have a chin and is terrified of being knocked out

At one point a fight almost broke out in between all that holding

Hard to believe this is World title fight, at best domestic level

I’ve been warned how bad this fight was so much, that I have to watch it to see if it really is that bad

So disappointed for Okolie, I just want to give him a hug

CBS’s reaction says it all, he’s deserved that world title from starting his career, gives me goosebumps and nearly tears me up when Big Mo announced the winner, AND THE NEW 🙌🏻🇬🇧🥊🔥🍒🍒

I was a fan of Okolie and I gave him chance after chance hoping he’d have changed his style at this point in his career but he hasn’t. Bro if you’re afraid to get hit in the face or ko’d in front of 100s of thousands then Boxing Isn’t for you and im not being harsh.

I bet when Okolie is shadowboxing he looks to clinch 😂

Should have posted this snooze fest at 10pm, help me get to sleep at night

Okolie looks like he purchased a months intensive boxing course down the local gym. How uncomfortable was his performance and style to watch...

After watching this fight I get where the youtubers get their confidence in becoming a good boxer comes from

Okolie never stopped holding, clinching and hitting back of head - terrible boxing skills. Well done CBS 😎

Can’t believe these 2 are world title contenders the state of the cruiserweight division

Ben Shalom is doing one hell of a job at Sky 🤣🤣🤣

Okolie may have held onto Smith but he couldn't hold onto his titles...

Lawless Oholdie should've been DQ by the 8th or 9th round. Should have 2 DQ losses now not forgetting the Askin fight. Horrible boxer. 112-112 was a good laugh, Ben Shaloms double agent couldn't have made his role any more obvious. Terrible fight but fantastic outcome, CBS is a hero to boxing fans by default.

Okolie cheated his way through every round. Should have been disqualified. His best punch is hold the head with the left and hook with the right. Or punches to the back of the head. Terrible work.

"It was an incredible spectacle" Ben Shalom post fight. He obviously saw something the rest of us didn't

CBS hugged Okolie more times in this fight than he has hugged his nan all year

The highlights were enough 🤣🤣

Okolie needs to move up a division so he can become the new HuggieWeight Champion of the world. I lost count of how many matchsticks my eyelids snapped while forcing myself to stay conscious.

Okolie defeated me by knockout in round one, what a legend.

Sky sports: "Look at the great boxing we have, sign up today!"

The most frustrating part is that there's actual flashes of brilliance from okolie! Just doesn't seem to be able to put it all together...

Fair play to sky for uploading this for free

6 seconds it took for his first hug of the night 😭😭

Yet, when I say: “The smaller divisions are infinitely better, and infinitely more entertaining than the Heavy Divisions… People act like I’m saying “the Moon is made of Cheese”. It doesn’t matter how bad the Cruiser/HW Fights are… It doesn’t matter how much better, or how insane-the 105-118 lb. Fights are… People still want to watch the Big guys, and they still don’t want to watch the smaller guys. It really is a shame.

thanks sky for sharing this at midnight. should send me off to sleep nicely

Okolie is like that crazy ex girlfriend that just never let’s go!!

I do not want to watch Okolie fight again, what a stinker.

Okolie boxing scared or what, he deserved the loss no question! 💯

Medical authorities recommend that insomniacs take a dose of a Lawrence Okolie fight last thing before bedtime....

I don’t mind a bit of rough and tumble. Instead of breaking them up constantly the ref should have told them to punch and get out. I love those short punches on the inside, that’s where a lot of damage can be done. Okolie was constantly mauling instead of punching up close, so deserved to have points taken away. The second and third knockdowns was a farce, they were never knockdowns, but the ref was so fed up of the mauling he decided to call them knock downs, which was what cost Okoli the fight. CBS was given that fight by Okolie’s lack of ring IQ.

Sky, why have you done this to us???

They should just get rid of the cruiserweight Division because majority of them are heavyweights.💯💯

I was supposed to play Xbox with three mates after this fight ended but they all went awol. It put them to sleep. I’m not even joking 😂

Holding is Okolie's forte....

Poor world title fight from both sides but Okolie is in the wrong sport if he does not want to be hit

Yes! I've been waiting for this; full fight too.

DO NOT WATCH ITS HORRENDOUS

This referee needs to go for a medical check-up after this fight. So so frustrating.

The only reason why people came here was for the comments

A lot of holding from Okolie, but besides that, not a bad fight at all, plenty of action and good punches thrown from each side 👍

Okolie looked like Wilder focused on a big right hand, but somehow with even less skill than Wilder... I was impressed for all the wrong reasons.

Can’t way until Viddal makes it

the same way Okolie kept Michal Cieslak whole fight

1:46 Chills!

That's one loss on Chris's record was a robbery.

Hearn vindicated

Benjamin Rodriguez, who had it 112-112 AFTER Okolie losing 5 points, must have been on sth. Sth strong.

From a media standpoint the switching during the entrances has been horrendous lately for Sky Sports production

He deserved to lose fighting like that it’s a boxing match not a hugging match 😂

Since okolie has left shane he’s regressed it’s so crazy the basic fundamentals he’s got and he just chooses to ignore his attributes and smother his work! CBS is a great inside fighter so wrong person to try and tie up

23:16 careful you don't fall out of your top

Smith you a great champion! FROM Santonio Texas.

Very nice win by Billiam-Smith. Hopefully he’s relieved us of the scourge that is Lawrence Okolie. But as of rn I don’t think he could be opetaia or briedis at this stage. His best bet at a title is Badou Jack since father time is finally catching up to him

And this is what passes for 'professional' boxing nowadays: Okolie should've been disqualified; I'd say it was terrible boxing, but it wasn't boxing.

So pleased for Chris Billam-Smith! You could see what it meant to him and his family after the fight 👏🏾 to do that at his hometown is incredible! Salute 🫡 CBS! Great win brother! 👍🏾 Okolie needs to go back to the drawing board and seriously work on his technique because at times his style was absolutely dreadful! The right man won 💯%

Lawrence Okolie & Devin Haney walk into a bar....

Okolie looked strong but i think if he went for the takedown he could have submitted Billam-Smith

I always wanted to see okolie get floored and loose his belt hes the worst boxer to ever hold a title. But now hes lost I kinda feel bad especially with him taking the loss on the chin like a true professional. Hope he comes back stronger

Okolie really needs to work on his double leg takedown. CBS was able to stop every single one.

Kudos to sky 👏 sports Boxing for sharing this 👏

This is laughable, even when he got knocked down, he was still holding and crawling. It is a habit and its going to be hard for him to do away with it because he doesn't know any other way to box.

59:47 It's almost like the commentator was foreshadowing the 112-112 scorecard.

One of the best referees I’ve seen, surprised there wasn’t a disqualification

How did Okolie ever get to be a world champion, it says a lot about the cruiserweight division these days?

Okolie holds because he can't fight on the inside, he grabs as soon as the fight starts going to inside. The holding in this fight is horrendous they need to put a lot of work on that inside fighting for okolie

Okolie lost some motivation, he should have stick with them matchroom Eddie hearn,this is terrifying.

It's no wonder that Jake Paul thinks he can make a career in boxing with Champions like Okolie. Well done to CBS though.

Can tell okolies trainer is the same has furys .all that hugging from okolie . Well deserved for smith

Just shows u how weak the cruiserweight division is when u can have 2 class c fighters who hold or held a world title

41:30 he runs for hug hahahahaha

Those 19 and 0 shirts hope they didn't make many lol

Anyone who clinches like that should lose and be taught a lesson. I like okolie but fs

Bro heard the opening bell and said: "Let's cuddle."

Wow, what did i just witness. Not gonna watch an Okolie fight again, surely.

Anyone know the song at the 30:30, mark after round 4 ?

Okolie acting like he never got a hug from someone 😂 this more the hug champion fair play to chris on winning

Chris won this fight but Lawrence could have if he had boxed rather than hugged.

Okolie looked scared from the start.

Okolie makes Wilder look good.

That was one of the most untidiest fights i have ever seen. What on earth was Okolie doing 🤣Absolute rubbish 🤣

Sugars got his work cut out with this one

Okolie was holding and punching CBS clearly from round 1, I'm surprised the ref didn't step in much earlier to tell him off, you can't hold your opponent and punch off on him.

This fight is proudly brought to you by Huggies.

I heard they had this fight on in some pub in London, whilst the 8th was going 2 guys managed to rob the whole pub as everyone was fast asleep

Chris Billam-Smith Showed a lot of class only one man went to box Okolie went to hug. Shocking from Okolie point view but in all seriousness he might be good at MMA

Ahaaaa now i see why why he was hugging so much, 30:03-30:06 Sugar Hill instructed Okolie to ''GO RIGHT BACK TO TYING HIS ASS UP OKAY''. What a shameful tactic. What an amateurish display, no balance at all, his legs looks like they were going to break, bro skipped leg day lol. Is this the same person that wants to fight Usyk and go up to Heavyweight? KMT

Damn! Okolie doesn’t belong here damn it! What was that??

34:20…. Is she serious!?

Good luck selling the rematch
