    Round 1 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 2 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 3 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 4 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 5 Mchunu 10-9

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

    Seems like every time Thabiso hears the scores read aloud, it lights a fire under his ass that round, then he forgets it the next, he landed several hard straight lefts and right hooks to win the 8th fairly easily, his best round. Tommy still landed a few flurries, but with less effect.

    Close round, Tommy landed a counter left upper cut, ad a few hard straight lefts, as well as a few flurries, more accurate then usual, Mchunu tagged him with a couple of right hooks and lefts late, not quite enough to steal it back.

    Tommy looked a bit flabby there. He has definitely been eating.

    Razor close 11th, Tommy jabbing well, not much from either guy, Mchunu landed a solid straight left, but not much else, Tommy a few one twos, edes it on activity.

    Round 11 Oosthuizen 10-9
    Round 12 Mchunu 10-9

    Tommy letting his hands go to the body shoeshining, but not very effective, Thabiso getting more aggressive, lands several looping hooks and straight lefts that fly Tommy's head, he takes them well, it was definitely quality over quantity that round.

    116-112 Oosthuizen

    115-113 is fine as well, although I have a hard time seeing how anyone could have it much closer. 114-114 isn't egregious, its just that Mchunu didn't let his hands go enough, 2 clean punches per round isn't enough, the judges got it right in SA for a change.

    Glad this was picked up in the UK, fun card!

    I scored it for Mchunu. Far too much of Oosthuizen's work was shoeshine for me, and even then the majority of it was landing on gloves. Mchunu didn't help himself but his counters were sharp and more importantly accurate. Thought he judged distance pretty well and jabbed better at times. He made it too easy for the judges to my eyes but I certainly feel he was hard done by.

    I tallied it up in my head but didn't jot down the exact rounds. I think I had it 8-4 Mchunu though. What Tommy was doing just was not for me in the slightest.

    Mchunu gave away way too many of the early rounds. Mchunu also never used the left hook to the body, which Oosthuizen was open for all night and it would've softened Oosthuizen up and made a knockout possible for Mchunu in the later rounds. He badly needs a real coach if he ever wants to crack the top 10 again, since even Tabiti, who is garbage would beat him at the moment. On a positive note he wasn't foolishly using the shoulder role like he did against Usyk, which pretty much handed the victory to Usyk on a silver platter.

    Really tricky fight, as the conflicting score cards have already shown us. Really one of those fights that comes down to your personal preference.
