Afolabi hurt Huck in the 5th, but couldn't capitalize. From that point on, Huck pretty much clinched any time Afolabi would get inside, then push Afolabi across the ring until he was on the ropes, then would push off Afolabi and launch a combination. Happened over and over. Afolabi blocked or slipped most of it, but Huck landed most of the really effective punches int he fight.
Alright thanks, sounds like a though fight for Huck, he gotta improve if he want to be more than a national darling. I'd like to see him against Danny Green in a real battle.
Ola hurted Huck in round 5,but all in all Huck won most of the rounds due to sheer aggessiveness and Ola#s inactivity. Nobody has ever told Ola that showboating and clowning around dont win your fights! Ola has talent,and could have won this fight if he had focused on the fight instead of showcasing his skills in the field of acting:-( Whats more his interview after the fight was pathetic! Ludicrious statements! What a sore lose he is! No class!:dead
Afolabi's comments seemed a little out of place, arrogant yes, but he was probably disappointed in himself. Wasn't Pianeta supposed to fight at the same card btw?
Ola wasn't inactive. He probably threw about 200 more punches than Huck overall, just they were all one at a time, and a lot of them were jabs. Huck went for minute long stretches at least twice where he failed to throw a single punch. Doesn't really matter though. In the end, I thought it was a pretty easy fight to score, and a clear close Huck victory.
Pianeta beat Orlov,Valuev's poor twin brother. Havent seen much of that fight,but Pianeta's face looked quite damaged after 8 rounds of boxing with that Russian giant. Orlov is tough cookie:durable,huge,can take a good punch. HIs boxing ability is fairly limited though.As Pianeta 's coach rightfully stated that Orlov is even slower than Valuev
In the first few rounds Ola didnt do anything at all.Huck,the defending champ ,was the aggressor throughout their entire encounter.You can hardly find a single round where Ola threw more punches than Huck.
