Olawale Afolabi vs. Victor Emilio Ramírez for the IBF Cruiserweight interim title

Same, and for the record I think Afolabi of last night probably could've beaten Hernandez as well.

 

"I don't make excuses when it comes to fights. If I lost then I lost. I own my losses.
I was extremely hard on myself talking about retiring because i felt lazy and sluggish in the 1st round, and by the 2nd I was completely exhausted.
Turns out we missed the most logical explanation. Bacteria. As hard as I trained it was impossible to be tired or exhausted by the 2nd.
Until two days ago I had never heard of Montezumas revenge. I ate in the airport in Mexico with my trainer, I guess they gave us tap water in the cup. He came up to me a day later talking about having horrible diarrhoea, I didn't think much of it because I wasn't feeling bad. The next day I started having it too. The next two days I went to the bathroom at least 26 times (no joke) at least 15 times on day of fight. I thought It was nerves, I usually get mad nervous a day or two before the fight. It's almost a week later and I still have it. Ran into Shannon briggs and he told me you can get it from their ice too, then later that day I saw the president of the ibo and he said "not only that, You can get it from their lettuce and fruits, they wash them with the water. Unless it's boiled it'll be there".
I watched the fight and I think I did a great job considering I was exhausted by the 2nd.
I'll take 2 weeks off and I'll be back in the gym. To me that wasn't a loss, it was a lesson.
I also have to work on a few thing:
1. Always wear the same gloves as my opponent.
He's gloves where 10oz. My promoter weighed them. So there was no cheating there, but damn they were small and had no padding in the knuckle area. We should both have the same advantages and disadvantages.
2. Make campaign to fight in my hometown (‪#‎London‬). After 13 long years and 29 pro fights, 6 world title fights (Interims and full titles) I have never fought in my own hometown. I'm used to 6k people in and arena and 5,995 of them booing me. But it was serious in Argentina. They were extreme and literally standing 2 or 3 feet from the ring. No one was searched coming in. There had to be knives, even guns in there + alcohol. I'd be lying if I said it didn't get to me. it didn't help to have that on my mind walking into the ring."

Ola, Ola, Ola .. :verysad
