    Pointless. He's staying at cw and at 6'4 he's probably filled his frame correctly

    Mchunu makes a lot of defensive mistakes and has really sloppy footwork for a guy with his style. He needs a better coach that can correct these mistakes if ever wants to be a champion at cruiserweight.

    Why Mchunu's coach had him using the shoulder roll against Usyk I'll never understand. Mayweather himself wouldn't use the shoulder roll against an opponent that much taller than himself.

    IIRC Berman and Volbrecht had a major bust up with Tommy. I doubt they'd be rooting for him right now. Maybe he's back on track. Hope so.

    Round 1 Oosthuizen 10-9

    Tommy kept the jab in his face throughout and followed up with one twos. Easy Tommy round.

    Round 1 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 2 Oosthuizen 10-9

    Tactically brilliant fight by Tommy thus far, forcing Mchunu to be the aggressor, while he counters him with check right hooks and combinations off the backfoot. Mchunu landed little clean that round.

    Round 1 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 2 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 3 Oosthuizen 10-9

    Another solid round for Tommy, he keeps pumping out the jab, Mchunu can't find the proper range, he's lunging with his shots and getting countered, Mchunu connects late with a decent shot, but too little too late.

    Sounds like Mchunu when taken out of his counter punching game and forced onto the front foot is drastically less effective?

    Round 6 Mchunu 10-9
    Round 7 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 8 Oosthuizen 10-9

    Very close round, Tommy doing his thing, countering in combination, Mchunu pressing forward, Tommy grabs him, the does some decent work on the inside, Mchunu goes for hooks, Tommy catches them on his arms, but huge left hook connects snapping Tommy's head to the side, but he takes it well. The quality with Mchunu here, but the volume was to much to overcome.
