This guy is my age and I knew him mid 2000 at a Nairobi gym with a single bag! He's come far and was never a contender but one of that underrated tribe known as Jorneyman-good enough to challenge but never threaten the top contenders.
What they lack in skills they make up with heart-look at this and tell me the ref didn't rob him! Knockdown 5.40 mn then he was was KD'd got up only for RSC. If it had been Haye who had been knocked down (for a second time) in that exact same fashion, WOULD the fight the have been stopped?
As we scream for the HoFers and ATGs like Joshua,Maidana,Money and Pacquaio lets not forget the Journeyman like Lolenga!

46-year-old Lolenga Mock (42-16-1, 13 KOs) is determined to finish a 28-year professional career by claiming the IBA Inter-Continental super middleweight crown in Aarhus, Denmark on May 18. Mock was controversially denied a WBC world title shot by a majority decision last year and now looks to bow out with revenge for January’s narrow points loss to Mateo Damian Veron.
Mock said: “This is my jubilee fight – my 60th as a professional boxer and I want to make my fans happy on this special day for my career. For the first time in 28 years as a professional fighter, I’m going to be fighting for a version of the world title and that is very special to me.”
Mock, who started his professional career way back in 1991, famously knocked down future unified and multi-weight world champion David Haye in 2003.
