Lolenga "The Whiz Kid (Lumumba Boy)" Mock

You know what's ****ing crazy? Haye is the only man to defeat Mock that is still technically active.

Erik Skoglund was just awoken from a medically induced coma due to a brain-bleed suffered in early December and finally removed from intensive care like a week ago. His career is most likely over, sadly, at the age of 26.

Bozic, Campillo, and Kostecki are the next most recent losses Mock has suffered and none of those guys have fought in years.

Going back a dozen years you get to Lucian Bute, who now hasn't fought in nearly a year (with nothing apparently on the horizon), since his loss to Eleider Álvarez in February - and is yet to retire officially but is celebrating his 38th birthday next month and is 2-5 in the last six years.

If anyone's stock just increased, you could say it was GGG. (he retired Malik Dziarra - in both literal sense, forced him to quit the match and ran him outta the sport) who beat Mock in 2004.

 

From that very little bit we have it appears he was indeed in control with his jab, which makes sense if you watch both guys' previous fights and is the commonality in all eyewitness descriptions of this one (most observers suggesting that Chudinov took the first few on activity while Mock revved up the motor and didn't do much of anything, but once the jab started landing around the midway point, it was an irreversible shift in momentum from then on)

I'm sure it was closer than 99-90 but don't listen to @CST80 howling that it must've been a robbery, that's just the usual to be expected sour grapes. You newbies will get used to it, he gets salty over his kirk's picks. A month from now it'll blow over and he'll forget having ever had any animosity toward Mock (and I don't think he's a raging Chudinov fanboy either). If the video comes out we can compare scores.

For now I'm just glad for the result, chuffed for Lolenga (and still kicking myself for not laying a bet on him, which wasn't due to lack of confidence in a small punt being worth it, especially at those odds, but more due to having just been busy the last couple of days and totally blanking on it..)

 

...which can literally drive a man crazy, forming part of the premise of the film Pi.
