    Seems admin deleted VG_Addict's thread. :huh

    Anyway, there's no viewing outside South Africa, so don't ask.

    Updates from ringside on Twitter.

    The fight just got underway.

    1st round went to Mchunu, people saying that Mchunu is doing the "Floyd Mayweather" shoulder tuck.

    I like both and was leaning slightly toward rooting for The Rock, but Makabu is trained by Nic Durandt, whom I fondly remember from my time following Silence Mabuza.. :think

    Southpaw boxer vs. southpaw puncher, and both in phenomenal shape.

    This better hit YouTube ASAP. :twisted:

    Makabu mid to late KO, with no confidence in that prediction. More hope than judgement.

    Right hand working for Mchunu, but Makabu is working the body well. Jab still the determining factor for Mchunu.

    No viewing outside of South Africa? What a waste.

    Sounds like Thabiso has been more able to hurt Ilunga with his punches than vice-versa, which is mildly surprising.

    Let's hope this gets uploaded soon for viewing.

    But a southpaw vs southpaw matchup puts me off slightly. Hate it. :-(

    I can't think of too many southpaw vs. southpaw matchups, can you?

    Spinks-Judah and Lara-Trout, and that's about it.
