    I used to like watching him fight, I thought he would be a breath of fresh air for the sport, plus he could crack with the left hand.

        That was the Larry Marks fight on ESPN. Marks was so disoriented when the ref asked him if he was OK, he took another knee lol

          he hasnt been back into the ring since his loss to Ian Gardner, which was an embarrassing loss mainly due to the fact that Gardner is a feather fist, and at the time they fought, gardner hadn't really fought anyone. olajide was the favortie in the fight and was rather confused fighting the herky jerky gardner. it's been since 2004, i remember the fight, i was there live, and everyone that i was with was pulling for tokunbo; and we all thought that he would spring back and fight again, guess not........

          to me, i always thought of tokunbo as the boxing version of " Common ", due to his style in clothes and the way he carried himself, i thought that he was a classy guy, sad to see that he isnt fighting anymore................
