Ola Afolabi

The last round Ola v Huck was amazing where both fighters gave it there all. I could see Ola beating Tarver.

I think a Afolabi-Kayode fight would be good. Probably an easy fight to sell with both fighters being Nigerian and both being trained by Freddie Roach at one time. Ola is with Sdunek now I think.

The only problem is getting a network stateside to show the fight. The new guy running Showtime (Espinoza) has said Kayode won't be welcomed back on the network after his post fight tirade. I don't think HBO has shown a Cruiserweight bout since Toney-Jirov. Which is dumb IMO. Cruiser is one of my favorite divisions. Plenty of great fights in recent years.

Absolutely! They´re basically heavyweights who train and get in shape.

Thats shit for Ola then, I wonder what is he going to go for his next fight. We will have to see where his promoters take him. I would love to see Tarver-Afobalbi though, would be a good fight.
