    I think his age is against him but there is room for improvement. He might hang around & be competitive but its a big ask for the big fella.

    Larry is very top heavy, if his legs were better he'd have much better balance.

    He can rebuild,it will be a long job though.He needs to change everything he does.He clearly does not mind going to the gym,but instead of putting all his effort into weights he needs to concentrate on boxing.He is never going to be a world beater but he can do a lot better than last night.

    What a lot of ****ing pish! he was late to take up boxing and didn't have anywhere near enough skill to deal with a seasoned pro like McDermott- he didn't give up or not try so what more could he do? he just wasn't good enough, there is no disgrace in that.

    How was/is your boxing career?

    Expect to see Larry Olubamiwo in the next Prizefighter. Other than that, he's going nowhere.
