Forget the hype, the womens bout between Monica Mkandla and Simamkele Tutsheni was the fight that held the Golden Gloves tournament together on Saturday night.
The rest of the bouts, especially the hyped-up main fight between Jose Kadima and Herbert Matovu, failed to deliver, while profuse bleeding by Juan Albert from bad cuts above his right eye gave boxing a bad image to the general public.
For casual viewers, this imagery reinforces long-standing arguments that boxing is barbaric or violent.
