Olawale "Kryptonite" Afolabi officially retires.

:goodMassive heart! Credit to the sport:good

 

That one could be true, at least from Boone's perspective (not disingenuous on his part) even if not categorically true. Kovalev and Stevenson both had reason to be cautious with Boone given their initial encounters with him. They may have caught him with blows that were hard enough to get the job done, but withdrawn some of their full thew, "just in case", at least subconsciously mindful of getting countered.

Golovkin on the other hand would not have gone into their session with any such "once bitten, twice shy" imprint, and he notoriously goes pretty hard in sparring.

:conf

 

Brilliant!! and well done to him! Get him a job on TV so he never has to box again!

 

My gut feeling is that he will get into training.

Dude LOVES being in the gym.

 

Ola has been a great servant to the sport, not just as a good solid pro, but also as a top end sparring partner.

It's a shame he never won a world title, but it is good to see a fighter realise that it's over before it is too late and they receive unnecessary long term damage.

 

Massive massive respect.

 

“Life gave me lemons and I turned them into a ****ing chocolate milkshake!”



Very entertaining fighter in his day. Enjoyed his fights, and I hope he succeeds after Boxing! :good

 

Awesome

 

Now here's a guy with an absolutely fantastic book in him. All the very best to one of the sport's most undervalued warriors. A great guy too.

 

Massive respect very good Career
