The other May 5th Card: Huck v. Afolabi; Dimitrenko v. Pulev

Actually looks more competitive than the PBF/Cotto/Canelo/Shane card and a better card too. :-X

How active is Huck these days? :Sarcasm: It's refreshing from the fighting twice a year we see more often with top fighters. He fought in February against Povetkin, losing a debatable decision and this will be his sixth fight in 16 months. Afolabi-Huck should be fun. Dimitrenko-Pulev is a toss up to me. Also on the card, Stieglitz is fighting Hamdan, which should be a easy win for Stieglitz. Dustin Dirks is facing Ulrich in a step up in competition fight. It's actually quite a list of boxing matches.

On the same night, We also have Chris John facing undeserving Kimura and Daud Yordan oddly facing a tougher challenge in rising Philipino featherweight, Villanueva.

Last, Paul McCloskey is facing Demarcus Corley in Ireland, accompanied by the prizefighter show.

Huck did well against povetkin which is very surprising considering huck basically has no amateur experience and just "clubs" people while povetkin is a gold medalist, before I even read what ya said I was like wow hes being active... it's going to be a good saturday didnt know all these fights were on will stream this and then catch the pbf card at a bar

will Pulev be able to take Dimitrenko? at first glance you'd expect Dimitrenko to have the advantage, but Pulev's amateur background suggests otherwise.

I think Huck & Stieglitz will win decisions. The Huck decision could be another close one...probably a MD or SD.

I like Pulev over Dimitrenko as well.

Corley will give McCloskey a hard fight IMO.

Rafael Marquez is fighting Saturday in Tijuana. His opponent is Kenichi Yamaguchi.

I'll take a shot in the dark and say Villanueva beats Yordan.

I think Huck gets a decision and Pulev stops Dimitrenko.

Huck loses, Afolabi has improved a lot since their first fight and Huck is painful to watch. He hurts my brain, the atrocity that you could despairingly call his style makes my eyes want to jump out of their sockets.

How the Huck can he defend his title so soon at a substantially lower weight. Roy Jones could not do it?

Anyone watchin this yet? Don't think this edmun gruber guy is goin anywhere, shit supposedly been boxin since he was 7 can't tell that's the case

Dimitrenko pulev is a fun fight so far a bit dirty but entertainin hope I'm not only one watchin

I'm watching ;)

I have Pulev ahead after 5.

I have it 3 3 pulev I think after six and I'm glad you're watchin cause this ones a goodie not just for the heavyweight division, while I have it even pulev had a big sixth quick hands when he wants...

My stream went down...had to find another one. Only caught the last 30 seconds of round 7. Dimitrenko corner sounds worried.

showed heart and resilience tho nothing wrong with not wanting anymore there at the end, pulev is impressive took a few rounds to get going , nice hand speed and style very uneuropean if ya can even describe something that way

I give Dimitrenko credit for lasting as long as he did.

Pulev vs Fury anyone :box3:

Ill take pulev in that one, while I haven't seen pulev other than today he was impressive and never been to big on fury I mean if a dude with 5kos out of 25fights has you up shits creek you're fucked unless you become a defensive master which I don't see fury doin lol

Dam that s one messy face for three rounds

That was kind of sad to see and this british guy is super biased just hatin and mentionin all these brits that would fuck these guys up....

Ulrich should have stayed retired. Stating the obvious I know :D

Is Huck next...or is it Stieglitz?

Huck apparently stieglitz is somehow the main event...crazy

Yeah it pisses me of they always mention how corrupt germany is and what not, and germany has had its fair share of shitty decisions but sometimes its like they don't see that they're just as bad

Good first round for Ola. Huck tried to steal it at the end.

1 1 after 2 huck inactive but he didn't land just one big shot in second he landed about 5 or 6....

2 1 for olaf but got this spencer guy sounds like he knows a lot but is biased and annoyin

I got it 3 1 olaf how about you tiger

Haha he's lookin at "skills" man who gives a shit if its pretty or not if it lands and is effective...altho hucks not all that effective in this fight I got it 3 2 olaf

Big round for huck 3 3

Looks like Ola punched himself out a bit. Throwing mostly arm punches now. Huck landed a massive uppercut in that round.

They just showed a replay of the big right upercut huck landed he winced in pain when he landed it...

53 huck or 44 decen scrap

Damn :o

Huck unloaded on Afolabi! Almost stopped him there. Huck well in control now.
