Re: James Oyebola 'Brain Dead'... Some appreciation please!
I used to enjoy watching JO. He seemed like a genuine nice bloke.
One of the funniest things I ever saw in the ring happened when he fought Andy Gerrard, the tough little Welsh trialhorse. Oyebola had beaten Gerrard in his debut and was fighting him again in his sixth fight. At some point JO was bashing AG in the corner, raining punches down on him while the camera was just behind Gerrards back, getting a close up. Suddenly, Gerrard turned around and gave this big goofy grin at the camera, then turned back around and started trading with Oyebola. The fight ended up a draw.
His rematch with Scott Welch was a corker too with both men punishing each other.
Sad to see him go out like this. He deserved better and I hope his family can pull through ok.
I hope they can catch these horrible little gits.
