    Olo Afolabi is one to watch future world champion!

    The guy reminds me of a young Middleweight james toney, rolls well with the shots great chin with heavy hands. He come from behind to take out one of the hardest hitters in the division in big enzo, which remined me when toney came back to knock nunn out. This guy is one to watch, also according to freddie roach he has sparred and had the better of toney!

    He needs to fight in Britain though.

    Where he will get more attention. Which would have knock on effects regarding his work-rate, and to be the man in the ring. Whereas in the US he is just another guy, a good guy, but just another one. He has that great sparring partner mode in him at the moment.

    If he was given star billing.

    We might have another Eubank for ourselves.

        should be all gravy now though?

        You'd think Maloney, or even Fwank would interested.

        In the commentary the said if he won, he might just stay.

              He's nothing special.

              He beat a tomato can today in Enzo Maccarinelli today, but he will not get past the much better Ramirez.

                  Enzo Macc is not a tomato can.

                  He is in the top 10 of that division.

                    Who has he ever beaten? Just Braithwaite, who's a warm-up opponent for Cunningham now.
