Thabiso Mchunu vs. Ilunga Makabu

Pernell/Ramirez
Minter/Hamsho
Hagler/Alan Minter
Dawson and Tarver
Naseem and Kelly
etc etc

There are a lot of them. I hate watching SPaw vs Spaw. It's just so awkward.

 

Probably because southpaws are so used to fighting orthodox fighters.

 

This is ****ing annoying. I was really looking forward to this.

 

Yeah that's probably one of the reasons, and you don't get too many of them especially modern day (High level), if at all.

So it just looks so weird.

Don't like em, probably never will. But I'll still watch it.

Anyways, Mchunu seems to be giving him a boxing lesson, dictating the fight with the jab.

 

Makabu keeps following Mchunu in a straight line and getting nailed

 

Boza vs Limon, too.

 

Open scoring after 4 is 40-36 x 2 and 40-37 to Mchunu

 

I knew M'Chunu would have this though (I know it's early), Makabu is too crude for the very skilled Thabiso. Power is meaningless if you can't land.

 

From what I've heard, southpaws are a pain in the ass to fight.

 

Some journo is saying that Makubu has had what looks like an injured shoulder since round 3.

 

This scheduled for 10 or 12?

 

Yeah, they're scarce in the boxing world.

You can't find quality southpaw sparring partners on the world level.

Most of them don't want to be sparring partners for anyone. That's why it's a tad more difficult.

It's not that they have an advantage with the stance. It's that no one can find good southpaw sparring partners.

That's it.

 

12.

 

Mchunu well on top going into the 7th.
