I agree. It's unfortunate as he has the natural toughness and instincts of a fighter which is rare. Seems a really classy guy as well from that interview, I hope he does well.

His style is awkward and he can take a punch,he will be a handfull for anyone but i feel a good boxer will outbox him.

Yeah because he is to one paced. Hes learnt the trciks from Toney in sparring but he has also adopted that lazy relaxed approach and poor workrate .

I think Enzo was really bad on Sat so it may have flattered Ola. Im very intereted to see his next fight . Hopefully its against a decent name so we can properly assess what he has got.

No doubt the skills are there and I like the way he slipped shots la Floyd Mayweather. His arogance gives him some personality we will remember him by and that KO was a peach so I think the future is bright for Ola.
