how far can Ola Afolabi go???

I'm not sure if he can go much further unless he changes his style/attitude. Afolabi has seemed to learn all the tricks in the gym but also carries the sparring partner mentality into the professional ring, often opting to give rounds away by doing very little.

His fights against Fields and Maccarinelli were close calls with Afolabi behind on points, taking advantage of his opponents tiring in the late rounds.

Would be funny if he loses his next fight, but I'm sure he is fighting soft-competition in his next fight after his big win over Mac. Would be dumb of them to rush him after getting a big win, so its very acceptable for him to fight a low-risk fight now.

but still were both good wins, were he showed heart and good cardio! i agree do he can get lazy at times, but this may be part of his gameplan.

due to him having not much amature exprinece, sparring with elite fighters has really brought him on do!

I see him getting outworked by the top dogs but I do like his style and the way he shook up Enzo Mac's punches by dusting off his shoulders and taunting him like a mosquito bit him or something.

Literally all the big dogs will outwork him and he will lose a decision to
Guerillmo Jones, Adamek, Cunningham, Flores.

Who knows though maybe he could beat Herbie Hide or someone like that.

I hope he fights Herbie Hide. I see the fight ending in another late round comeback knockout for Afolabi.

Wat this man said. No one is milking this cow and taking ATG credits for him you dig?

Ola hasn't been beat in 6 years. he is on a 6 fight win streak, which includes wins over vetran heavyweight Orlin Norris, the very highly touted Eric Fields who was a 11-0 and a 2005 and 2006 National Golden Gloves Heavyweight champion who he stopped in 10 and former world champion and world rated Enzo Maccarinelli who he kncoked out in 9.

there 3 very good wins especailly the last 2, how far do you think Ola can go, can he win a legit world title and be a threat to adamek.

he has a great defence and heart, reminds me of james toney, has a very old school style, also has had the better of toney in sparring!

thoughts????????????????????????????

evidence pleasE???????????????
