Tshifhiwa Munyai - what happened last night?

I swear Munyai was supposed to be fighting a former world flyweight champion last night - instead he outpointed an unknown Tazanian.... bit dissapointed as well as I was looking forward to seeing him in action last night on sky....

Heard thats Munyai looking crap Twice in a row....

Is there an argument that we overated Power, and then due to Munyai ripping him apart we overate him also???

Napa is screaming for the fight give it to him and see how good he is, as napa has beat the two victims.

Munyai would be far too big for Napa to cope with for 12 rounds.

I think it could be the case - he will probably be too big for Napa. However, I aint convinced he can step up to European class - let alone world class that some experts were hyping him as.

He tore Haskins apart too - but then Haskins' temporment, stamina and maybe punch resistance isn't too hot either - juding by the Napa fight.

Lack of opportunity is Munyai's problem. He's won a Commonwealth title, looked scintillating, and has then not been given the right fights.

Maybe he's only good with a title on the line. Maybe he has motivation problems or weight problems. Let's face it, none of us know shit because he's been taken off the radar.

Its about levels...it reminds me a bit(though there is no proof, he could be great and just undermotivated) of when James Hare was being(unjustly) regarded as being quite good...Cosme Rivera came over, ripped him an new one and suddenly it was 'Oh god, this Rivera is amazing'

Nope, he was a decent operator at world level but very average in real terms

Howcome that Munyai Is looking good at Bantam but crap at super bantam or feather?

Could It be his size advantage at Bantam?
