I see!
That was a good show - bit too much focus from the commentary on your build hence the name not ringing a bell.
Good luck!

I saw your debut on the box Larry and if you say it's Wednesday, It's fcuking WEDNESDAY!! You're one BIG Lump, ex-bodybuilder??
How long you been boxing?
It's clearly too early for me to comment on your punching power with any authority, but if ever there was someone who physically looks like a banger then you're that man. I'm sure you're gonna provide us with plenty of entertainment over the coming years, Good Luck with the career. I'll be watching with interest!!

thanks chambers. i am not an ex bodybuilder like some people think. i am an ex sprinter but all the men in my family are very muscular and i did do alot of weights as an amateur. i havent done weights for 5 months now and i used to be bigger than i am now but feel good at this weight

probably a bit to hyped up on your debut Larry, but early days yet, good finish.

Good choice, that guy knows his stuff.
There are a few heavys starting out at the moment, Dallas, Millarvie, Belshaw, Chisora, Sexton.
Will be good to see who gets the furthest in the pro game

Larry, did you sprint at County level? If so, did you ever run against Urias Joseph (Hampshire) as you're the year below us?
Enjoyed your debut. It was refreshing to see a HW without a gut! Good luck in the future. Please don't hurt me.

Larry.
Can I suggest you adopt the unusual nickname of
Larry 'The Green Mile' Olubamiwo
Should work quite well.
I'll settle for a pint by way of payment for this brilliant idea.
Yes, thanks everyone.

You need to be boxing on regular basis, could be challenging for honours in over a year or so if fighting regular.

Welcome Larry mate, Good result considering he has only been stopped that earlier 3 times out of around 34.
As has been said it's good to see someone who look's like they actually train!
Will keep an eye out for you in the future mate goodluck.
