Dingaan Thobela isn't exactly a
household name, and after his loss to Dave Hilton he thought he might never
get a title shot again. But the WBC ruled that Thobela should get another
title shot against Eric Lucas. Thobela showed up out of shape and he
paid for it with a lopsided TKO loss to Lucas. Now at 36, Thobela
is well on the downward side of his career and has never successfully defended
any of his major world championship belts. Thobela has decent power,
but only decent boxing skills too. Thobela was a WBA Lightweight (135
lbs) champion in 1993 and now has moved all the way up to be a Super Middleweight
(168 lbs). This is not Thobela's true weight class, and will most likely
not be around anymore in the Super Middleweight title picture. |
