    Afolabi - Dunstan was always going to be a bit of a mismatch, but I was suprised Ola finished it so soon in such devastating fashion.

    What are the chances of him getting another title shot, and which if the titleholders should he go for?

    I never saw him vs Huck, I know he lost but was it close?

    From what i saw ola just wasnt doing enough. It was fairly competitive but he seemed to have a sparring partner mentality in some of the rounds

    Ola is looking lean and mean! so happy the lads got head right for the sport now.

    He seems to have got out of sparring partner mode and he's got world class skills and he didn't even punch through target last night. He developing very well and i think he could do Huck in a rematch. Have to spark him to win though but who knows Huck has such poor defence.

    Great fighter Afolabi. The most interesting bit of the night. That KO punch was awesome. Did anyone see the gumshield come out spinning in 3D?

    Thats the real problem, sparring partner mentality. Talented yes, very talented, mentally he's a bit of a loose cannon. He could of beat Huck, nearly had him out of there as well. If he gets another chance he needs to take it rather than do enough to lose, he won't get another.

    I love it when you see a gumshield pinging out into the audience from a punch. A vicious KO
