But five months later they met again, and this time Du Plooy KO'd Weaver in round two.

A peach of a punch.
Weaver was lights-out even before he started falling.

Weaver's jab fleeting very, very good in the second fight.....fast, straight, accurate and hard.
Got to love Du Plooy, still backing his power to get things done in the rematch and getting the result.
