Cracking fight in December!

Post by forcefraser »

Marco "Captain" Huck V Ola olafabi for the WBO cruiserweight title.

This should be a great fight. Huck is all action and has simply battered his last few opponents with mental all out attacks. Olafabi proved against Enzo that he can take a punch and is pretty elusive and cocky with it.

It will be a great test of how hard Huck actually punches and what Olafabi can do under sustained pressure (not Enzo pressure).

Really looking forward to it. No idea which way it will go. Maybe if Ola can take him into the late rounds he might have enough to take it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ola win this one, he certainly looks to have the style to cause Huck problems.

Having just got of the bat phone to Ola himself i can catagorically state that the big man is gutted about not making horses list, when I told him he almost burst into tears. :TU:

Honestly I think the thought of winning a world title albeit a mikeymouse one is slightly better than a forum pound-for-pound list.

Seriouldy should be a cracking fight Ola may have to knock Huck out to get something though.

Ola has talent but doesn't throw enough punches. Despite the great finish I'm pretty sure he was well behind on points in the Enzo fight - I seem to remember him laying on the ropes for long periods and getting outworked. I'll take Huck on points, with Ola having his moments every now and again.

I don't think this fight will be an earth shattering event.

Disagree. Huck is all action these days and throws a hell of a lot of leather. Ola looked very slick against Enzo and it should be fascinating. Just cannot see it going the distance. Huck has improved a lot since his loss, but he is still raw in my opinion. I don`t know much about Ola to be honest, but I liked what I saw against Enzo.

Bizarrely, if Ola wins this fight in Germany he "might" be elligable or Horse will review. However, if he fights in the UK against Huck and loses - he won't be... and will still be behind the guy he recently KO'd.

Agree.

As it happens Enzo was knackered, and Afolabi sparked him with a big punch. But had Enzo's energy held out, it would have been a points win for the Welshman wider than my trousers.

Good luck to Ola- and good to see that he is getting what he deserves- but never the less, and easy enough nights work for Huck.

Should be a good one

I dont really rate Huck he is strong and powerful but looks as if he could easily be outboxed and I think Ola could do this cover up when Huck throws his fluuries and come back with his own and work when he is inbetween flurries I see a UD for Ola

I have my doubts, I'm thinking Pavlik to stop him in about 9 or 10. Makes for a good match...
