I would go for BJ Flores. Ola is at times not active enough and often wastes time posing, Maccarinelli was ahead on pts at the time of the stoppage in their fight. I believe Flores can outwork Afolabi and win a close decision say 116-112 or 115-113.
I'd think that his management would be careful about putting him in with Ding-A-Ling and Herrera if his chin wasn't pretty good though, just in case he got caught.
I think Flores outboxes him. I seen Ola against Fields and Enzo i actually picked ola in Vargs boxing league but the fight didn't count :verysad.
Flores on points. He's very cautious, sometimes too much so, but he's a good outboxer. I think he'd outbox Afolabi from range like Maccarinelli did for periods, he's a better boxer than Macca with faster handspeed. Only he does not make the same stupid defensive errors as Maccarinelli as he has that caution about his work. No way he'd stop that guy, he's double tough and awkward to hit clean.
Yeah exactly i was shocked.. i dont know if he was being cautious or what but i was expecting a knock out. Enad Licina knocked Herrara out for christ sake !
I think the ring had a lot to do with it. Both fighters had a lot of space to work in....If one gets hurt they can move around it recover a bit and get back into business.... That ring on that night seemed to me to be rather, huge... This is why mixed cards with MMA and boxing shouldn't be allowed. I was pist cause I had Flores on the under odds, but i would of lost anyways cause of the Roy Jones fight I had that on the over.... But I only lost like 20 bucks so I dont care. Shitttt... if i knew that, the ring was gonna be that big I would of picked em vice versa
Lafarell Bunting stopped Herrera....... And Bunting was a very late replacement who when he found out he got the fight, he was at cruiserweight (weight wise)... So if a guy with a couple of days notice had to spend more time draining himself to make the super middleweight limit can go in and stop him, there was no excuse BJ couldn't do it.... Tavoris Cloud stopped him, Enad Licina stopped him, Jorge Castro stopped him (after being stopped himself by Herrera), among others..... BJ's chin seems decent... He has been dropped before.... Ola beats Flores...
