  3. the Godfrey mumba guy cant go further,he is a very useless boxer with no skill and no balance at all.he fought a ka young weak jamaican who equally had no steam but the guy could not dominate until in the last round when some wild punches luckily landed and gave him some points.he will now face a superior and tactiful guy from botswana who beat an equally good ghanaian and hell be whacked.
