If Thabiso "The Rock" Mchunu was a number, he would be a perfect 10.

That is how best to describe this left-hander in his poetic performance when he schooled and punished Johnny "The Hurricane" Muller at Emperors Palace on Saturday evening.

Their eagerly awaited 12-rounder lived up to the status of being the main event in Golden Gloves "Hurtin' for Certain" bill.

Mchunu, from KwaXimba in Pietermaritzburg, did just everything right throughout the fight and that was confirmed by judges who scored the one-sided fight 120-108.

That lopsided points victory enabled Mchunu - who is trained by Sean Smith in Johannesburg - to reclaim both the African Boxing Union (ABU) and South African cruiserweight belts. He forfeited the SA belt after failing to make the weight for his defence against Daniel Bruwer in 2010, and vacated the ABU belt in 2014. On Saturday, Mchunu bettered his CV to 18 wins against three losses, while Muller suffered his eighth defeat in 30 fights.

Muller, who was ushered to war by veteran trainer Harold Volbrecht, kept charging forward but was in ineffective.

Ealier on Saturday, Lee Dyer and Alfonzo Tissen gave their best but after 12 rounds judges could not decide on the winner and instead declared the closely contested fight a draw. Dyer retained his ABU super middleweight by virtue of being the champion.

Scores were 119-117 for Tissen and 116-112 for Dyer, while Silvia Mokaila scored it a draw at 114-114.

Simpiwe "Chain Reaction" Khonkco retained his IBO strawweight belt with an unanimous points win against Lito Dante from the Philippines. Scores were 118-110 and 119-109 (twice).

Thulani "Tulz" Mbenge defeated Jayar Inson from the Philippines on points over eight rounds. The SA and ABU welterweight holder remains undefeated after 11 fights, with 10 KO.

The tournament was attended by the who's who in sports and politics, including Tokyo Sexwale and PSL marketing consultant Peter Mancer.
