You come up with some really obscure fighters Woldemar
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
He was one best prospects in 1987,his war against Quiroga was a FOTY in 1991.Good skilled Hitable boxer.

I watched the Quiroga fight not too long ago,shame what happened to him afterwards but it was a war
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
IMO,Akeem beat Quiroga in that fight.

IMO he was a one of the best African talents in boxing history.
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
Was before my time as a fan. I'll watch a few of his fights. I see his loss to Robert Quiroga was Fight of the Year for 1991. That's cool.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:He was on tnf & ESPN several times coming up.gilgamesh wrote:You come up with some really obscure fighters Woldemar

Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
Yeah Anifowoshe collapsed shortly after and slipped into a coma,recovered but never fought again,the result was close and could have went either way,crazy to think if that happening if he'd won.one of the best fights ive seen mategilgamesh wrote:Was before my time as a fan.

Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
Two judges gave Quiroga 116-112 I think it was bullshit.IMO Akeem won this bout 115-113.
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
I read an article a couple of years after the Quiroga bout, saying Akeem wanted to fight again. I didn't think he'd ever be allowed to but he was. RIP is the result

He would have been 50 in a few weeks.
Funny how life can change for a fighter. I remember how easily he was expected to beat Quiroga.
Quiroga himself was stabbed to death in 2004.

Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
I was a fan of his. I’m still sad about what happened to him.
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
Don't know why I remember but think when Akeem fought Quigora he was wearing pretty much the same shorts Benn wore against Barkley, useless info, just sticks in my mind.
Re: Kid Akeem Anifowoshe 23-1,18 KO's
He ended up wanting to fight again after the Quiroga fight when clearly he should have been a million miles away from a boxing ring
