Intriguing fight of contrasting styles
Fuzile, Munyai to keep fight fans on edge of seats
The argument that styles make fights will be tested at Emperors Palace tomorrow night when Tshifhiwa “Atomic Spider” Munyai takes on Azinga “Golden Boy” Fuzile in one of the two Featherweight Super Four semifinals.
The 10-rounder, to be staged by Golden Gloves, will be an intriguing fight based on the two boxers’ contrasting styles.
Munyai, 32, is a right-hander whose first punch forward is a left jab. If need arises he stands and trades because he does carry reasonable power which has left 16 of his 28 victims counting stars.
On the other hand, Fuzile, 21, is a left-hander whose first punch is a right hand. He lures his opponents into a false sense of security with his lazy barbs, while painstakingly setting them up for slumberland.
He has long arms which help keep his opponents at bay.
Fuzile currently holds the SA, WBC Youth and IBF Continental featherweight belts.
