Zack "The Black Warrior" Mwekassa 12(11)-2(1) This content is protected Zack is a hard-hitting madman who like many other Congolese cruisers is based in South Africa & has been in some absolutely crazy fights. Here he is brutally knocking out Moyoyo, described by some as the most dangerous fighter in Africa. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjgUywZx_jM[/ame] The KO streak continued but in 2008 Zack lost against the experienced Jozsef Nagy in a wild & dramatic fight. Mwekassa beat the **** out of Nagy & dropped him 5 times but couldnt finish him off. Incredibly Nagy cameback in the 6th & stopped the exhausted Mwekassa. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXXy6ngaamc[/ame] Zack was out for a little over a year but his next fight in the US was a SD loss to the American Paul Jeanette. The only footage Ive seen of this fight is the following clip & it looks like another war. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYR09CLh1z0[/ame] Since then Zack has returned to SA & has won his last 4. This is his most recent fight, knocking out the unbeaten Ruhamye in the 1st.

Flo "The Demolition Man" Simba 12(10)-2(2) This content is protected Simba is another hard-hitting & exciting fighter. His only losses have been up at HW & against much heavier opponents. He is unbeaten at CW & has already knocked out some big 270lb HWs. Have a look at the right hand he lands in this fight :scaredas: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTMb30L_eIk[/ame] In only his 11th fight he took on the vastly experienced Frans Botha, despite being nearly 50lbs lighter Simba did well but was stopped in the 6th. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp8ZkMctqPI[/ame] Simba won his next fight but then was stopped in the 1st round by another heavyweight with a big weight advantage. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMTELNoBYkk[/ame] Since then Simba has recorded a good win at cruiser & has an important fight with another prospect line up in June.
They actually look like solid prospects, fair play Mo :good Obviously have nothing on Hitler The Killer, Captain Marvel etc etc EDIT: And both taking on bigger blokes as well, fair play.
Ilunga Makabu 11(11)-1(1) This content is protected The southpaw Makabu is also based in South Africa & lost on his debut in about 30 seconds However since then he's knocked out everyone he's faced, including a few heavyweights & his the current holder of the prestigious WBF cruiserweight title. The 11th round TKO win over the tough Brazilian Otas is the only footage I can find of Makabu & he looks good. Throws good combinations of hooks & uppercuts, he mixes it up from body to head well & even finds time to play to the crowd [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daG089V5xsA[/ame]
Youri "The Bull" Kalenga 10(6)-0 This content is protected Youri is based in France & the boy can bang but is having difficulty finding opponents. He entered a tournament last year & stopped both his opponents. Since then he has gone the distance twice with iron-chinned journeyman Remigijus Ziausys & knocked out the unbeaten Atilla Palko. Check out the left hook on this guy :!: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMRoc4ZiczA[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8mwa9V1QLQ[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bje4A7_ofh0[/ame]
Simba was getting plenty of hype before it went pear-shaped against Botha. Some thought he was going to retire after his second loss, so it's good to see him giving it another go in a lower division. He is one of the eight guys fighting in the Super 8 cruiserweight tournament in South Africa: http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/rodney-berman-announces-seedings-for-super-8-tournament-108894
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEX9d8mTzyo[/ame] Youri Kalenga's latest fight, on the undercard of the Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam world title fight earlier this month. This guy is a ****ing beast :!: Epic ringwalk with his drummers & a 2nd round TKO.
