I thought Mchunu was primed to take the division by storm after that first time I saw him, pretty sure it was against Chambers.

Yeah that was the first time I saw him, then the next time I saw him he looked pretty chinny- can't remeber who it was against but it was kind of reminiscent of that fight Lara had with Angulo, where the ring was quite small and he was in all sorts of bother in tight corners.

That was a really good fight. Could have been in the running for fight of the year if more people had seen it, although there were half a dozen better last year. That was a nice KO too. Makabu seems to really like throwing that uppercut, except he hit nothing but air the first fifty times he threw it. Maybe, only take it out when the opponent is slowed and ready to go?

I was looking for this fight yesterday; because I couldn't figure out who I liked better for Makabu vs Bellew. It's still a pick 'em fight to me, after watching some tape on both fighters. Makabu has the strength, speed, and stamina advantage. Bellew has height, reach, and experience.
