    Not heard this touted as a prospective match up, but it's a fight I want to see.

    I think it would be a *******.

    It would certainly be a ****** and everyone who saw it would definitely feel ***** and ***** to have just witnessed such a ******** event. Would Frank ****** promote it?

    Very interesting fight, especially considering, relative to the opposition, Lebedev has looked far from inspiring in his last two contests against shot fighters.

    Lebedev is a good fighter though, a hard-hitting and tough southpaw. Against Alexeev, Enzo and Huck he looked to be on his way to the top of the division. Since then he's struggled to get out of first gear.

    Ola is a throwback fighter in terms of style with some dangerous offence when he gets going. I wouldn't want to make a prediction here, though the thread calls for it; Lebedev to outwork Afolabi. I'd be hoping for an Olu K.O though.

    No way Lebedev could KO Ola for a start, that's the one result I'd rule out. Infact its difficult to see any stoppage.

    In theory Ola has the style to make him look silly, but you never know what you're getting. Hopefully tonight is a sign he really believes in himself, but I think on the weight of evidence Leb to outwork him is a good shout. Mainly because his defence is a lot tighter than someone like Brudov.

    Lebedev is good fighter he showed a few nice moves against Toney but his last two fights haven't been good enough IMO.

    I think Ola could do it, he'd need to be consistent throughout 12 rounds but his jab is crisp and his variety and aggression to win a points decision.

    Ola looked great tonight but he was facing a man weighing 185lbs. Like its already been said I think Lebedev would outwork Ola.Good fight though.

    I'd pick Afolabi

    Really like him. Hope he gets somewhere before it's too late

    :lol:

    You know what, I've had a drink and I can't even remember what word was removed. but I'm sure it was inoffensive.

    Was it *******?

    I definitely didn't describe the fight as a Warr3n!

    If Huck doesn't come back then I think Afolabi's mandatory will be Lebedev.

    It's a racist slur towards white people, not used very much this side of the water but is much more common in usage in America. IMO it's pointless filtering it, don't think anyone here is going to be overly offended by it.

    Not sure this fight will happen, the way Lebedev has been matched recently.
