The only 2 domestic based guys you'd favour against Asiku and Olusugen are Cook and Witter and there is no way either of those 2 guys will want a fight with the Africans, let alone hoping a Matthews, Morris, Daws or Morrison type will take them on.

Maloney may say he would like to get Munyai a shot at a world title but I can't see it. Now he has beaten the best we can offer I can't see Maloney paying out the money to import guys who will test him.

Thats my fear - it happened to Romanov before.

No one knew who he was, he wasn't even rated the best in SA, yet he rose to the occasion at late notice and has been abusing our fighters' bodies since. Some ppl are hard to please.

He has a real title, faced good comp, and isn't wasting any time.

I'd rather watch him than Khan learning how to keep his gloves up vs shifty imports.

Exactly, no one knew who he was - so how could we get excited about the fight BEFORE it took place. Most of the prediction on the websites were of an easy Power win. Munyai proved everyone wrong in great fashion and then confirmed it was no fluke vs Haskins.

He has beaten the best in the Country - now he needs to move on and progress. Lets hope he doesn't do a Jackson Asiku - prove he could be world class but not get the chance cause he is only based in Britain.

For me, the rematch was a waste of time. He'd outclass Power 10 times out of 10. Whats the point of watching that. Not a fault of Munyai, he is doing what he is being told and doing it spectucularly - its where from now.

I want to see more of Munyai, Olusugen and Asiku - but not more of the same.

I suppose we should all be sceptical -I didn't sing Munyai's praises until halfway through the Haskins fight - but he's mature and authoritative for a 21 yo. I had the feeling he was going to destroy Power - I even feel the elbow injury was from a stray body shot in rd 1 - which he did. Sadly, it has been the 'Martin Power' show, but no longer.

IMO Munyai should get at least 2 more domestic fighters, of different styles/sizes, before a lot of learning fights vs foreigners. He will needs lots of learning fights considering the top bantams are pure class - Hasegawa, Jhonny Gonzalez, Penalosa, Pacheco, & Tokuyama (Marquez is moving up).

In all, it's very satisfactory seeing Munyai fight, because we have very little to expect from a young fighter who's learning usually.

When will Frank put on an exciting fight next??

It might have to be a happy accident type of fight.


I feel that Hatton - whose dad is apparently still being sued by Warren - could give allegedly a tremendous kick in the teeth by having a dual world title fight with Witter in the Man City stadium.

It's great to challenge the status quo, especially when it's stale.
