Olubamiwo debut - Seen a heavyweight recently in this kind of shape??

[ross]

Hes 30 years old, and he fought a guy with 33 loses. You cant really judge anything at all at this very early stage of a career. But a good start can be said. I can see him fighting for the British belt, but at 30 hes not going to be a world champion

The guy looks like he has power for sure but he also does look tight and a tad slow, also he held after a couple of shots from the journeyman

[The Fightfan]

He doesn't seem to be bad.Of course nerves, that first time taking the headgear off,the smaller gloves. Everything comes into play at the point right before the bell rings. Hell wasn't that a first round KO. I like him already.

Not sure what the holding was about after the shots from the journeyman..but I know a lot of these journeymen open up and throw lots of smothering shots whilst walking forward usually ending up in a clinch. Maybe it was a bit of both.

He definitely has a chin though, I've seen him and Terry Dunstan going all out in sparring and Larry hasn't even flinched. (which is why I'm chuckling at Daxx's 'no chin' comment because Terry Dunstan knocked Lennox out in sparring whilst serving as Lennox's sparring partner so he can definitely fling shots).

Hell, one training session it was me AND Terry Dunstan vs Larry and we pretty much beat the shit out of him for 4 rounds and he didn't even flinch. (Terry more than me ) Believe me the chin department is fine.

He'll really appreciate the constructive critcism though, he's very humble and I'm certain he'll work on his weaknesses. Very good points by all

Althugz, Terry didnt Kod Lennox,They stopped it because Lennox was getting bashed up and getting Hurt but He never went down.

[Althugz]

My mistake scrap, thanks for the clarification. As you know people can put different spins on stories.
You were there right? I think I remember reading the thread about it..

Get over it you fucking baby....Just because I did not hype your man...So FUCKING WHAT......Like I said if you don't want to hear answers you might not like don't post simple...So what you are going to use my name in every post?........

You are embaressing yourself.......Act like a man and just move on...

Do you think Margarito goes on crying like a bitch when he reads negative shit in the press about him being a glorified club fighter?

Does Klitschko go to forums and cry like a bitch because people show only him big brother respect?

No and they are world champions multiple times......

Your man is going no where in this sport but to journeyman row simple as that....And if he does win a world title....Even a minor title with some clout (And no British titles do not count...I am talking USBA, NABO, NABF,)....I will write a public apology....

And you will rant on like a bitch about that too.....

[Tysonbruno]

As he gets going fight by fight he should loosen up he will have had a lot of nerves for his debut but at 18stone 12lbs (264lbs) he is one big heavy in good shape if he can take a good shot he could course problems in the heavyweight division i think he could win the British title. All we can do is see how he goes anybody know how tall he is?

[Scrap]

6ft 5ins

[Althugz]

6ft 5ins

He's slightly under, Scrap. 6 foot 4.

I agree TysonBruno, he's certainly in with a shout for the British title if he can improve with every bout. First stop will be the Southern Area title if keeps racking up the wins. His next bout is in 2 weeks. Nov 15th. Will let you know how he got on..

[Fenster]

What did he do before boxing? He looks a bit stiff but at least he finished the guy in one.

Some Brit novices would have farted about for a few rounds with that bloke.

Do you have tapes of you fighting?

[Althugz]

In case anyone is interested - Larry had his second bout at York Hall this Saturday.

He stopped David Ingleby (some may remember him from the TV show Prizefighter). It was a good victory again because Ingleby hadn't been knocked out in 2 and a half years and was riding high after a K.O victory of another prospect.

Was a good fight with Larry going 100mph straight from the bell. Ingleby covered up well and took Larrys shots. When Larrys workrate decreased he gave Larry some shots back.

Larry calmed down in the 2nd round and scored with a beautiful counter right hand to K.O Ingleby coming in.

Olubamiwo still needs to relax and work on some defence but a good victory!

If you're not interested - ignore this

P.S. Taeth, only just saw your question. I have a few from when I first started..Like my first 4 sparring sessions so I'm pretty shitty in them lol. I havn't boxed for 6 months. Gave it up to follow other priorities. If I was to box it would have been at welter or light welter. I weighed 147 in my avatar

The difference between Carl and larry is that Carl is on the brink of winning the title and larry has had 1 fight at pro and 15 at amatuer. Carl had a good amatuer career and has built himself to the position he is in now. But I hope your watching on 6th december because carl WILL be world champion.
