bdog19 16 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I saw some guy called Ola Afolabi boxing the other week on the telly, he won and he was terrific, anyone know much about him? Think he's British, had UJ shorts on but he sounds like a yank. Every punch hit and hurt his opponent, he wasn't even punching often just fucking belters when he did Seen that fight as well. Was an impressive performance from him.Regular sparring partner for the Klitschko's apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Apparently Gamboas head has been turned by a Broner fight, hence one of the reasons he has reneged on the Rios fight.Has that fight been officially called off yet? There was picture of Gamboa at Mayweather's gym on the day he was meant to be at the presser in New York. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was an impressive performance from him.Regular sparring partner for the Klitschko's apparently.It was very impressive, didn't seem to throw shit ineffective punches just bided his time for the right shots and it worked a treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLoyal 105 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not exactly a thriller was it?I would like to see Mitchell vs Burns next. I would say Burns would win but I think Mitchell has the ability to make it more interesting than what we have seen tonight. Unfortunately, we will probably see Crolla or Rees. The Appleby fight wasn't bad (bit of a hometown decision mind) but the most entertaining moment on the undercard was a fat man getting blown out in half a round.

Gash07 26 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Did anyone see Lopez v Salido 2? It's a must see.I watched it, good fight. Jaunma could fight Salido 10000 times and he'd lose 9999. Salido is simply far better technically, his punches are shorter and tighter. His base position is far more compact and he throws combos with intent. Jaunma has power and a tonne of heart but he gets very sloppy and open. Shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His chin was good last night but he can only take so much, and the punches that ended the fight were devastating. Incredibly two of the judges had Juanma ahead and the other had it a draw I think.Looks like Saldio will fight Mikey Garcia next after he beat Concepcion last night. I favour Garcia in that one. Very good boxer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good boxer.Aye, I seen the judges cards, good job Salido brought his own judges. I'd favour Garcia also, only slightly though. He looks like he has a few more gears to go up to. Love his jab.

Gash07 26 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On another note, I was planning on going to Burns/Moses, so glad I didn't and the notion will never cross my mind again after hearing the crowd sing just can't get enough and other songs sung by the tims.
