    Disagree here mate, Ola can be outboxed with his style, but speed isn't the way to do it. He's used to sparring with quite quick guys & he's fairly fast for such a big guy himself. Someone with a high level of activity is what would do it, speed on its own I've seen he can deal with.

    Huck will win clear.

    Ola's fiddly-diddly style never scores well and he's not really a big puncher (Enzo was always chinny and went to bits in that fight). I bet Enzo would have got a comfortable decision if he'd stayed upright too.

    agreed

    enzo outworked him just by going through the motions. The guys nothing special and while i still dont think a hell of a lot of huck he should be in a different class to this guy!!

    Germany is suited for the cruserweight division. Their champion doesnt have to fight anyone of any quality can afford to duck the 1-2 guys coming up through the ranks until they move to heavy and you can conceivably see huck never losing another fight from here on in!

    Huck's got iffy stamina from what I've seen and not a rock for a chin, I could see a come from behind KO for Afolabi. If it goes to points, oh well.

    I got tipped off before the Enzo fight that Ola could be useful. I'd like to see what happens in this fight. I think he has a style where he boxes well within himself. Definitely can be outworked.

    Yeah but all the boys are trying to tip you Missy.

    Did you lay a wager?

    I think his win over Enzo was just right time right place against a shot fighter and Huck will take advantage of this. Hopefully i'm wrong because i saw Afolabi on Bunces show just before Setanta went bump and he seemed a good guy.
