BoxNation - Marco Huck vs. Ola Afolabi III Saturday Fight Night Chat

[armin]

This is a garbage fight imo, both guys are so mediocre to be fighting at championship level.

They're far from garbage, it ain't pretty but both their hearts and guts are worldclass! Put hucks will in one of the decent heavies and klits would have a fight on their hands

I don't think Afolabi is showing much fire in this fight honestly, although you're right they are both very game. I just can't handle how sloppy most of the action is, Afolabi is doing his best mummy routine throwing these sweeping overhands and Huck just flurries away in the clinch without timing him or anything. I dunno.

I get what your saying its ugly, and I used to watch froch back in the day and this everything he does looks so fuckin ugly yet kept winning, huck imo is a more extreme version of that. Can't blame the guy tho he's got virtually fuck all for amateur experience, and hell many had him winning the povetkin fight a former olympic gold medalist

[Violent Demise]

Afolabi needs the 12th for a draw.

[Violent Demise]

Huck stole the 12th at the end. Huck should be the winner. Afolabi fails yet again

[Violent Demise]

Afolabi balance is bad. He's gives the impression he's been staggered more than he really is

[Violent Demise]

I can see 117-111

[Freedom]

I scored it 115-113 Huck.

There were three close rounds, the others were clear. I gave two close rounds to Afolabi and one close round to Huck.

Any score from 117-111 for Huck to 114-114 is understandable.

Huck 117-111 for me. He won it quite clearly. I didn't really see the need for a 3rd fight. Huck needs to move on and stop going over old ground. I hear he's looking at an Arslan rematch instead of trying to unify.

I wonder if he'd want to fight Guillermo Jones, that's a fight he may well lose imo. Really aren't many cruisers around worth fighting and he's clearly not going to be a decent heavyweight, not sure where he can go. Not that I care mind you
