Anyone know how this went down? I know it was in Ndlovu's back yard, so I'm not sure if there's controversy surrounding it or not.

wow, he beat him in Canada for the vacant IBF title.

now he traveled to South Africa for a rematch just to lose it? weird

[joe strong]

sounds like takalani took it to him...molitor was overconfident looking past him towards a unification bout with vazquez jr...he knocked him out the first fight,decisioned him the second fight.he just hasnt been the same since he lost to caballero...i hope he will rebound...molitor said no matter the result there wont be a fourth fight...i wonder if he will change his tune?

I remember that Caballero fight.

I was so looking forward to see Molitor (I don't think he'd been on US TV before) and he looked horrible in that fight.

i read takalani staggered him in the 2nd & he barely made it out & again in the 6th.sounds like molitor did a whole lot of clinching...i wonder if the altitude was an issue...i dont think he was there longer then 10 days or so before the fight.he said everything was first class treatment but you got to wonder...rahman was there 3 months in advance for lennox while lewis showed up a week before hand.altitude difference is substancial...id have to see the fight

Always nice to have those home judges!

Ndlovu's promoter made a wise move by making a high bid for the fight, now they have a world titleholder.

Molitor was never very good. This result doesn't surprise me at all.

Molitor is shot , let's face it, since his 1st loss he's never been the same. I expect Bob Arum to release him from the contract very soon.

he beat him twice & has some nice wins over decent opponents but yes when he stepped up to a real challenge he got beat...curious do you like any canadians that were born here? you seem to only favor the canadians who were born in europe...what about troy ross? do you cheer for him? i bet not because you cheer for the euro cruiserweights...aare you a proud canadian or do you actually wish to live somewhere else? i'm not hacking,im just asking an honest question...
