    I'm not surprised his last outing was a "dark" bout that's not available but I thought I remembered the Constantin Bejenaru bout getting a little talk, surprised that's seemingly nowhere to be found.

    Also, anyone know if we'll be privy to any kind of weigh in between Tommy Gun and Mchunu? Been keeping my eyes peeled but nothing yet.

    No, but if you wanna see a Mchunu fight I can get you the link to the Bellew one?

    Chamber's performance is there as well but Eddie was seemingly dead, either at the weight or brain dead, lol.

    Mchunu never fought Bellew it was Makabu who fought him. Mchunu did fight Makabu and Usyk however.

    You seem very angry. Calm down a little, it's just boxing, I can see a permaban for nationalistic trolling in your not so distant future if you don't cool it. You literally radiate bitter and pissed off.

    No footage of the Johnny Muller bout either... Mchunu had a few televised fights in 2014 or so and they're available but that's really about it.

    As for Tommy Gun, his last fight is available, split into 12 parts on Youtube irritatingly enough, but his career in general is the same way, hard to find footage of many of his bouts. Never knew finding footage on African fighters was so difficult.

    For the record I've been looking for footage from both the Bejenaru and Muller fights since they occurred, and I've yet to be able to find even a trace.

    That blows. I'm actually kind of curious about Bejenaru, he's basically a 225 pound guy cutting down to cruiser. Obviously not a banger but he's on a pretty impressive little run.

    Man, finding much of anything on this fight is like pulling teeth. :lol:

    I've seen Bejenaru fight quite a few times and there's a reason why UTF and I confidently picked Mchunu to beat him, quit frankly the main reason I want to find footage so badly is, that I doubt the fight was an easy win for Bejenaru and I wonder if they're hiding the footage for a reason. He's huge in upstate NY for some reason and the fact that no one recorded his most important match of his career to date, I find to be a very hard to believe.

    Ah, that passed my mind as well. I wonder if anything will ever show up.

    What do you think about the Mchunu/Tommy Gun fight tomorrow? I'm honestly expecting a fairly brutal drubbing, Mchunu is a very technical, high level operator. Pin point precision with a lot of power behind his constant counter shots. He's not the most active fighter and can give away rounds but he's very dangerous.

    I can't imagine anyone moving up from 168/175, 6'4 or not, and troubling someone that's top 10/15 at the weight and who's been there their entire career to boot. I think it's sink or swim for Tommy, no more hand holding and this is going to be a bridge way too far.

    At this point, I highly doubt it, at least with the Makabu fight, we all saw the KO footage, so we knew it was out there somewhere, but zilch with this one.

    And I think you're spot on in your assessment, I see it the same way.
