    I really dont rate maccrineli and i think any decent opponent has a good chance of beating him, and some of the articles ive read make me beleive Ola Afolabi has a chance, ive found some odds of 5-1 on some bookies sites, what do you think of those odds?

    Sounds about right, never actually seen Afolabi myself but I've heard things.

    Any decent fighter? his last loss was to haye and in all honesty Enzo took the fight too lightly and thats why he got TKO'd. Now Enzos bucked up a bit i think he can go on to do great things like unifying the cruiser division and hopefully getting one over on Haye

    I've seen Afolabi a few times. Can't say I'm too impressed by him, though he did manage to beat Eric Fields. Long arms, low workrate, occasionally throws out the jab but mostly tries to wing big shots one at a time, has a defensive style that I might call sloppy slick (holds his hands down by his waist a lot, he mostly tries to avoid head shots by slipping them, but he's not great at it, and overall he's a bit too lethargic to get away with it), punches hard, not much foot movement, clinches when his opponent tries to get on the inside. Half the time it seems like he doesn't realize he's in a boxing match. Maybe he catches Enzo with a big counter or something, but I imagine Enzo should be able to outbox him pretty handily.

    Never seen him but many on ESB are picking him over Enzo.
