    Skilled, quick, southpaw, but sadly borderline boring. I was expecting something interesting last night from Thabiso but the fight almost put me to sleep--like Rigo's last fight. Very similar styles though, but not pleasing to watch. I understand defensive boxing. But the way I'm seeing these two do it makes me think that they aren't fighting the way they do to set up their offensive attack--which is what defense should be for for the most part. I see two guys who are reluctant to engage a lot of the time and seem to be content with that. That is no way to earn fans though. The biggest problem I have with it is that it's like they're squandering their talents. It's just frustrating to watch.

    Bit of a flattering comparison as Rigondeaux is quite special, but yes, Mchunu could well be the slickest cruiser, for what that is worth.

    Mchunu is really slick. Gonna be a tough riddle to solve for any of the top cruisers.
    Would be interesting to see him against the other African prospect Makabu. Totally contrasting styles could make for a good fight.

    Yeah, I was ignoring all the stupid agenda drivel that followed the first three words of your OP as it didn't even warrant the dignity of being addressed. Those first three words and your titular assertion were all that bore any conversational interest to anyone who KSAB and doesn't want to engage in a "we don't like defensive boxers! :|" circle jerk.

    -1. :nono

    1) It told, already.

    2) Eventually the Earth will crash into the sun (or, you know, Judgment Day :worm) and time will in the long run tell nothing.
