Kevin Lerena

Berman places his fighters well, they are never 50/50 fights. Not saying the guy was a bum but he was clearly not good enough to fight for a title

Most of us posting here knows almost everything except racing.............

Kevin Lerena - 22 fights 21 wins.

Hekkie Budler - 35 fights 32 wins. His been boxing as a professional for 11 years.

They do South Africa proud.

Tough job.

And by saying that you seem to think that you instantly sound smart? Don't act like someone who thinks they look smart by the way they hold a beer can.

Whoa 1...2...3....

Brian Mitchell... different class!!!

Hekkie just won't the ring belt, along with the IBF and WBA belts in Japan..you probably missed it because SS don't cover much boxing. Beat a guy who was making his 8th defence of the belt. Hekkie is the real deal and Ring have recognised him as that. Lerena is a work in progress, he has improved leaps and bounds and will get himself a big money fight
It's a bit harsh knocking the guy down and comparing him to Usyk, no one including himself are saying he's amzing

He lost his straweight WBA and IBO titles here at home. If you watch that fight he battled with the weight, told his trainer he was farked. No one knew who was the best in that division, not his trainer, promoter nor any of the contender''s. He stepped up in weight and got robbed in Asia for the IBM. It was a close fight but the corner repaired his cuts during the round. Colin Nathan fought tooth and nail to get a rematch, something Bernanke wasn't happy about and got the needle and had no involvement in his latest fight, anyway the guy Melindo who he lost to lost to this guy in a unification and Budler was ordered to fight him. He went over and beat a guy that has been ruling the junior fly division for ages. Budler, Tete and Moruti Mthalane are our 3 best fighter. Morutimthal fights for the IBM title on the Manny undercard. The government destroyed our sport and Morutimthal has been one of the biggest casualties, he's amazing and should get the job done

I watched the 1st three rounds and i felt Kevin was taking a beating,started channel hopping and eventually returned when the results were being announced.
Good luck to KL.

The highlight for me was when the cameraman caught a jubilant Gavin Lerena in the audience.
He looked ready to hit the saddle.
hope its soon.

cheers
