    What a win by the man. an upset but not a huge one as chakhiev is very caveman like.

    it was a brutal finish

    Yeah very good for Ola, got to say though it was probably the worst gameplan I have ever seen from a fighter, what the hell was Chakhiev doing?!

    Should have changed his name to Steven Afolobi, he'd have more fans by now.

    Yeah def. If you don't show him the appropriate amount of respect in that ring, then that's what happens.

    I remember sitting ringside when he fought Maccarinelli and Choi Tseveenpurev told me to whack some money on him to win by KO. One bet later and I was a fan for life.

    I'm sure I saw Ola at around 3/1 yesterday.

    Fantastic win, delighted for him.

    Yes Ola was a big outsider here and I thought it was a 50/50 fight on paper.

    Great value at odds up to 4/1 on the Betting Exchanges.

    He's very under rated and I can't think of anyone tougher in the sport of Boxing today. Delighted for him

    But does he carry POWAR?

    would love to see him take out Bellew but no way the Bomber wants that fight

    I am right in saying he is or was a long time K Bros sparring partner? shows the his pedigree if he was, holding your own with those boys with their size advantage is some mean feat

    He seemed to be missing something in the third Huck fight so I suspect he is on the decline. Still it's a nice win for him that may get him another proper title shot.
