He's faces Victor Emilio Ramirez as Hernandez shit out and had an elbow injury. Ola should win this one, he's doing it the hard way going into his backyard but he's better than Ramirez. This sets up Ola nicely if he wins this belt. He will have to fight Hernandez and that would give him the ring magazine belt too if he wins that one. I'd love to see Ola come home and smash Bellews head in.
Should be a good one :cool:
Ramirez looked vulnerable in his last fight. If Ola keeps it a boxing match he'll be fine. In fact, this Elam fella kinda fights like a "poor man's" Afolabi.

Ola Afolabi is a solid fighter. This is a tough assignment away but if he could pull it off he could be on the way to make big money against our domestic fighters.
Come on olaaa!!!!!!!!!!
Is he fighting now?
It's in Argentina so I doubt itQuote:

That's what I think, he did say this though prior to the fight about the gloves

Then he has said that he felt every punch, and it felt like knuckle on bone. He thinks he might not have it anymore , but is going to give himself two weeks to think it through.
That sounds shady and dangerous When you are abroad you have little control other than threaten that you will not fight.
He's said the punches that didn't hurt , were hurting him. It's strange really. Hope ola has not been shaftedQuote:

Problem is you will not get paid, have a bad reputation with other promoters and lose your position in the rankings. Tough situation.Quote:
