    No support for Ola Afolabi.

    How come?

    Every Brit is backing a shameless David Haye or a disgraceful Dereck Chisora but here comes a guy in Ola Afolabi, who is a very good boxer from Great Britain, and you almost see no support for him.

    Classy guy, promoted by the Klitschko's and a long time sparring partner of both. Always exciting, has a good 5 win-streak since his last defeat to Huck in 09. Possibly had a KO of the year in '11.

    Just last saturday (on the Wlad-Mormeck undercard) he dispatched of a good opponent in just 5 rounds and become WBO mandatory for Marco Huck.

    War Ola.

    Not ALL Brit's support Haye or Chisora, I support neither. Problem with Afolabi is that he never fights here so he doesn't have much of a following here, much like why Charlie Ota doesn't have much backing from the USA despite being born in New York.

    Saying that Ola is classy, very talented and has improved a hell of a lot from when he did fight here and took out Enzo.

    Always exciting? :lol: You cant have seen many of his fights then

    Its good to see him finally shedding the sparring partner mentality, when he ups his workrate he looks pure class.

    He can punch, he can counter & he can take a shot. I hope he beats Huck in the rematch

    I just dont care for him. He just sucks on the K bro cocks and fights on the undercard.

    I just dont care for him anymore. He was hype up pretty good year or two ago.

    Plus the he needs bigger fights by now . **** fighting for interm titles.

    I've always liked Afolabi. He seems to be changing his mentality as a fighter to. Before he would slip into a counter punchers mentality too much and go too defensive. Now he seems to realize he needs to get off first with his own jab and take the initiative a bit more. He just needed to get rid of that sparring partners mentality he had.

    I hope afolabi wins the title against huck! I think once he becomes champion
    he will be even better... Huck earned some respect back against povetkin so it would be a huge victory for ola
