    True :lol:. Got a feeling Huck won't go back after Ola if he loses this one just get impression it may be last.

    How you see it going IB?. Can Sanchez get Ola to continue his fine boxing that had him controlling opening rounds last time or do you see Huck again gaining control as Ola tires?.

    I hope he wins this time, he's the coolest personality in British boxing, he's world class, has a KO punch but nobody seems to know it. He took the **** out of Enzo then sparked him, spars with the Klitschkos and gives them fits to the degree that Doug Fischer gave those sessions as a reason why he would favour Joe Frazier against Wlad and he's about to get another crack at Huck. Crusierweight at world level is actually really good, the fights are competitive and very entertaining and there is a guy with charisma and a KO punch thats representing Britain and he's being ignored.

    Thats an amazing story Slip, the guy should be a much bigger name here.

    Ive read about Ola & I like him a lot.

    Huck has a pretty amazing story too, growing up as a muslim in Serbia during a war cant be much fun. He was a kickboxing champion aged 18 before he started boxing & despite his flaws he just tries so hard & will do anything to win.

    :deal Its hard not to like either of them, but I think ola gets the W this time, Huck has had a few gift decisions as of late so if the fight is close it will most likely go to ola this time, similar to the way geale got the W against sturm after his decisions over macklin and murray

    Tough one I thought that Ola would easily win last time as he seemed to have stepped up a notch in the first 5 rounds he was bamboozling Huck making Huck look amateur looked like he was crusing to an easy points victory.

    Somehow he let Huck back into it I dont know if this is to the credit of Huck who seemed to just keep coming with a must win attitude or Ola let himself slip. I have to say it did seem to be a bit of fatigue from Ola was a classic fight though. Would love Afolabi to finally win.

    Yeah both guys had it hard in different ways. Think Ola's got the dog in him to win this he bit down on gumshield in that final round and showed he had the minerals for Huck's type of fight, For a guy with no amatuer boxing background (a guy claimed Ola did fight twice he denies it) bar training in a gym and from one of my friends he didn't exactly train that hard just trained in a string vest and didn't really push himself.

    Amazing career and i hope if he wins he gets to defend his title here. Deserves it.

    Ola let that last fight slip away from him, think stamina was an issue but you have to give credit to Huck too after his poor start for toughing it out.

    Ola should win this but getting the nod could be an issue, he'll have to be convincing.

    Afolabi must go for the KO or else he loses

    :good

    Agree with most on here it seemed like Ola allowed that fight to slip away from him but with Hucks recent performances and Ola knowing that with a bit more in the tank the fights his I think (and hope) he does him. I'm a big fan of Huck too hes in some good fights and a good story.
