If Irenga Makabu used to attract attention by hyping up his match with Sur Avarez, today Ilunga Makabu proved his prowess as the second heavyweight world boxer of WBC with a victory.
On January 30, 2022, Beijing time, in the WBC sub-heavyweight world champion defending championship held at the W.D. Packard Concert Hall in Warren, Ohio, USA, Iringa Makabu finally defeated challenger Tabiso McHunu in a 2-1 divergence after 12 rounds of competition, successfully defending his WBC sub-heavyweight world boxing championship.
Because Irenga Makabu had beaten Tabiso McHunu in 11 rounds in the tournament seven years ago, Ilunga Mackabu was very confident before today's match. Before the match, in front of the sparse crowd, Iranga Makabu was still full of style, striding into the ring with his head held high.
In the first leg of the match, Iringa Makabu pressed Tabito McHunu from the moment the boxers on both sides touched their gloves. His right hand kept punching hard, but it also struck a lot of air.
In the second leg of the match, Tabitso McHunu began pressing after adapting to the rhythm of Irenga Makabu. His patience in the first round paid off in this round, where Irenga Makabu had several defensive omissions, both grabbed by Tabiso McHunu and hit his own right fist to take the opportunity to attack. Under his blows, Iranga Makabu had to retreat again and again.
In the third and fourth rounds of the match, Iranga Makabu was active, and he often punched hard. But to be honest, compared to the overlord Oleksandr Usik before the subweight, Iringa Makabu is not unique in technology, and the heavy punch is not very lethal. Fortunately, Tabiso McHunu was short in stature and lacked strength. So it's also possible to let Irunga Mackabu take it.
In the fifth leg of the match, Iranga Makabu began pressing, intending to exchange with Tabiso McHunu. But Tabitso McHunu refused to hit close quarters, and despite Irenga Mackabu's pressure, Tabithoe McHunu began to rely on movement to drain Ilunga Mackabu's stamina.
In the sixth leg of the match, Ilunga Makabu, who had not played any match for 13 months, took the lead in physical decline, and Tabiso McHunu began to take the initiative to press, but his heavy punch seemed to be unable to hit Ilunga Makabu at all.
From the seventh leg of the game into a state of anxiety, Iranga Makabu changed his previous playing style and began to turn to grinding points. Judging from the situation on the field, Tabiso McHunu is more like the dominant side.
In the end, all twelve rounds of the match were over, and of the three referees on the scene, Nathan Palmer and Steve Weissfield all gave a score of 115-113, deciding that Iringa Makabu beat Tabiso McHunu. Another referee, Jamie Galajua, gave a 116-112 score to win the match for Tabiso McHunu.
After winning the match, the 34-year-old Irenga Makabu's record rose to 29 wins and 2 losses, 25 ko opponents. By then, looking at Irunga Makabu's performance in the match, he was more like a boxer with a grinding point than a heavy gunner. In this way, the boxer can be said to have no chance of winning in front of the current heavyweight overlord and IBF sub-heavyweight current boxing champion Myris Bradis.
It's now up to us to see if Tonkin, the tournament promoter behind Iringa Makabu, can facilitate a cross-level match between Iringa Makabo and pan-middleweight supremacist Sur Avarez.
