It’s important to be in good shape before venturing out to compete against people who have everything going for them. Too bad, mwe!
Lack of proper training. We don’t even have good sports facilities and you expect to win?
Abantu balaponona! Better get yourself ready before jumping into that ring. Better luck next time guys, filacitika. I am just an ordinary coward myself who wouldn’t even have the kind of courage that you showed.
How do you score nothing in a boxing match?..were these Zambian boys wiped like kids, without even throwing a punch…Shame…:o:o:o
This is just poor boxing. How can you be beaten to zip, huh?
