Comments Thread For: Hernandez-Afolabi Finalized For December 6 Showdow

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing fans can look forward to a double-header of world championship action on December 6 at the EWE Arena in Oldenburg, Germany. In addition to Juergen Braehmer’s scheduled WBA World Light Heavyweight title defence against Pawel Glazewski, Cuban cruiserweight king Yoan Pablo Hernandez (29-1, 14 KOs) will co-headline with a mandatory defence of his IBF World title against Ola Afolabi (21-3-4, 10 KOs).

Love this fight. Hernandez and Huck are stablemates who share the same trainer in Uli Wegner, so I doubt they will ever fight.

Huck ran through Afolabi last time out with his caveman style, getting the W he should have gotten in their second fight. The first fight I thought Afolabi actually deserved the W. So Huck won the series 2-1.

Now Hernandez can see if he can do a better job on the somewhat awkward, hard-chinned, and full of stamina, Afolabi.

This is a very good fight, and I'm leaning towards Hernandez. Might change before fight time, of course.

dont follow CW closely, but this seems like a pretty decent match up

Cruiserweight is the worst division in boxing bar none. Even super flyweight is better.

I think Superfeatherweight and the flyweight divisions are the least deepest where mostly anyone apart from the champions are no names. Cruiserweight is not that deep but there is some solid guys in the top 10. Look at Eddie Chambers for example he thought he could quickly lose a few pounds from heavyweight and he would be the king in no time and got completely schooled by Thabiso Mchunu in his debut. Chambers has since put on 30lb's and has ditched the division. The European cruiserweight circuit is currently thriving with the German's, Russian's and English as hell they have even put Bellew vs Cleverly on PPV lol!

Alfolabi has turned that upset over Eric Fields into one hell of a career.

This is his last chance; Hernandez has the edge, but he's nonetheless beatable.

I hope you mean Super Flyweight, not Flyweight

Flyweight is arguably the deepest division in the sport

So many names there, and so many names about to move up

Don't bother they don't know anyway Lt.Fly is probably the worse division , HW and Mini are worse than CW also while it's not great there is some decent depth.
