The WBO announced that Marco Huck and Ola Afolabi have made a deal. Purse bid canceled. Cruiserweight title bout May 5 in Erfurt, Germany.
Might roll with Afolabi for the upset.

Marco Huck successfully defended his WBO cruiserweight title tonight when he boxed a majority draw with Britain’s Ola Afolabi at the Messehalle in Erfurt, Germany.
After 12 rounds, two of the judges turned in scores of 114-114, with the third giving it to Huck by 115-113. For once, a decision in Germany made sense, probably because the three judges were from abroad.
This was a humdinger of a contest, with Afolabi, 19-2-1, 9 KO’s, taking the first half of the fight, and Huck, 34-2-1, 25 KO’s, the second half, with the two fighters sharing a twelfth round that will be a contender for round of the year.
On the undercard, and as expected German WBO super-middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz eased past journeyman challenger Nader Hamden. Australian, Hamden, 43-10, 18 KO’s, had stepped in at late notice after Englishman George Groves withdrew through injury, and Stieglitz, 30, had a relatively easy night as he cruised to a wide points decision over 12 rounds.

Afolabi is easily one of the most underrated fighters out there.
