Larry Olubamiwo, where do people think he fits in on the british scene?

Nothing more than a domestic gatekeeper IMO.

Price, Dallas and Towers are at similar stages and I would bet on them to do a number on Larry.

 

Price is a huuuuuge puncher , i remember watching him as an AMA and the way he's developed is ****in unbeleiveble ...............

 

yeah price has some power


but larry olubamiwiwo is very limited, he's reached his level. if he one day challenges for brit/commonwealth title then thats the furthest he'll go. big dude but thats about all he got

 

skelton had a historyin K1 and relatively succesful career as a standup fighter though, larry's history seems to be all heavy lifting and some sprinting, far too much unfunctional muscle on him

 

Larry won't make brit level imo, he will get picked off soon as he steps up.

 

I thought he had done some sort of martial art, or kick boxing

 

K1 is kickboxing mate,

 

I was at the Sunderland card where he lost to Peret and although I can't remember it completely now, this is what I said at the time:

Larry Olubamiwo was very poor, and lost pretty decisively against Peret. I had him losing by 3 points (peret won 4 rounds, olubamiwo 1 round, 1 even) and he was outboxed for most of the fight, which shows I was wrong to overrate him.

I will add that he gassed after about 3-4 rounds.

 

he is exciting and looks the part so he will get his chances. im sure the next time a heavyweight prizefighter comes along he will be involved.
