    Wouldn't mind seeing this chap vs Chisora somewhere down the line. Close 50/50 fight.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him move up to HW. Actually I would love that.

    Just boggles my mind how he is so under the radar in Britain.

    Ola is ready to fight anyone anywhere. True road warrior.

    very good and somewhat underrated fighter, he made the mistake of rematching Huck in Germany instead of on neutral grounds

    I still remember his KO of Dunstan, and the mouthpiece flying out of the ring

    He's a cracking fighter and Huck-Ofalabi II is my FOTY so far.

    Really not a bad shout, but let's not make the same mistake as pro judges who allow a fighter flurrying in the last twenty seconds to "steal" the round on their card...

    Let's bear in mind that what happened a bit more distantly in the past within the qualified time period, while foggier in our memory, is equally valid for consideration.

    Just want to throw out a reminder that 2012 started out **** hot. I don't know that any month has yet topped January, and with the calendar already taking vague shape for the home stretch it's probably already in the bag for MOTY.

    Look at all these beauts.

    There have been a handful of others sprinkled throughout. Fegatilli vs. De Vitis springs to mind. :good

    I just think Ola's a bit too small to got to HW.I think he's finally found the right frame of mind and I think he should push on from here without making anymore drastic changes.

    As if Huck would fight anywhere else than on his comfortable biased hometurf.

    This ***** wouldn't travel to fight outside of his homecity.

    Ola gave him hell twice. Thank god they declared the 2nd one a draw, this clearly indicates that Ola basically won.

    He didn't though. I like Ola 10x better than Huck, but that was a fair result. But Ola got beat up and barely finished upright, unlike their first fight. His great chin bailed him out

    The World Boxing Organization has notified Sauerland Event that November 3rd's winner between Marco Huck (34-2-1, 25KOs) and Firat Arslan (32-5-2, 21KOs) must face Ola Afolabi (19-2-4, 9KOs) in 180 days.

    If Huck prevails, it will set up a trilogy match with Afolabi. Huck won a close decision over Afolabi in December 2009 and fought him to an exciting twelve round majority draw in May, with many observers scoring the second contest in favor of Huck.

    This will complete one the great trilogies in modern boxing, up there with JMM-Pacquiao and Vasquez-Marquez. Will we see Huck-Afolabi IV? One can only hope.

    Who is behind Ola with the WBO?

    Ola CHAMP in 2013? Mormeck didn't want it. He's now fighting Polish bum Wlod, who couldn't convincingly beat unranked Palacios in two attempts. :hey

    WBO's first 3 are:

    BJ Flores
    Alekseev
    Arslan

    Ola would beat all of 'em.

    Huck has to make a decision. Afolabi or move up to heavyweight.
