Samora Msophi who was stopped in the fourth round of his fight against South Africa junior flyweight champion Mfundo Gwayana on Friday night at the Orient Theatre in East London died early this morning. Going into the fight there was a lot bad blood between the fighters and at the first bell both boxers threw punches with intent. Even though Msophi was down for counts in the first and third rounds and on unsteady legs at times, he always came back at the champion and staggered him in the second round. (More)
