David Haye may have failed in his quest to take Wladimir Klitschko’s world titles last night in Hamburg, but another British fighter picked up a most impressive win on the under-card in Germany. British-born, California-based cruiserweight contender Ola Afolabi sent London’s Terry Dunstan down in dramatic fashion towards the end of the very 1st-round, a massive right hand to the head reducing the 42-year-old to a badly hurt, unconscious KO victim. The end came at 2-minutes and 40-seconds of the opener, and the man known as “Kryptonite” lived up to his nickname. Now 17-2-3(8), the 31-year-old hopes to get himself a return fight with reigning WBO cruiserweight champ Marco Huck. Dunstan, in terrific physical condition for a 42-year-old, had won his last four but is now 24-4(14). In the past, in his December 2009 challenge of Huck most notably, Afolabi has been accused of being too lazy in fights. The classy contender vowed last night that those days are behind him, and he is hoping his impressive display against Dunstan will get him noticed and pave the way for a second crack at a major belt. It is Huck he really wants, though, and if he fights the Serbian-born German the way he fought last night, Afolabi could give “Kap’n” Huck a real argument.
