    He lacks the foot speed.

    Or rather, Mchunu's feet are too fast (and ring IQ too high) to allow that.

    Yeah I noticed that.

    Durudola kind of just runs at Mchunu with his hands down and headup

    Durodola absolutely needs a KO.

    The couple of rounds Larry Hazard (not BJ Flores) gave him were generous; better for Durodola but still a clear shutout for Mchunu IMO.

    Last round, Durudola had been told to go after him.

    Mchunu is a nightmare for anyone I think - he's a slick counterpunching CW - fights and moves like a much smaller...erm - lighter guy.

    Mchunu is incredibly strong on the inside. He's holding a lot and those big arms are making it hard for Durudola to get away from the tight grip.

    Round 10

    Durodola is throwing away set-up left jabs and then swinging in wide rights to the body. Mchunu down, slip while trying to tie up. More wide rights to the body by Durodola pressing in behind jabs pawed into the air. Counter right hook on the face by Mchunu. Clinch. 1-2 by Durodola, Mchunu ducking in past it and pressing his forearms into Durodola's chest. High left hand by Mchunu, glancing before he flops in against Durodola again. Rabbit punch by Durodola. Wide right to the body by Durodola. Clinch by Mchunu. Break. Mchunu keeps a hold on Durodola as the taller man tries shrugging him off. The ref has to intervene. Clubbing right by Durodola. Right hook on the chin by Mchunu. Late hit by Mchunu, half a second after the bell.

    10-9 Mchunu

    100-89 Mchunu
