Steven Goncalves Ayanda Zwane

The second match in the Featherweight Grand Prix saw Goncalves take on Zwane.

The first round was a pretty even affair, as neither man wanted to over-commit.

Zwane looked the more comfortable fighter in the first round, but that changed in the second.

Goncalves dominated the second round and took Zwane down to the ground. He got his hooks in and controlled his opponent on the ground for the last two minutes of the round. The third and final round was another action-packed five minutes as both men went for the finish.

Zwane will now face Hokonya for a shot at Kabesa.

The opening minutes of the first round saw both men scope each other out, but the action picked up as the round wore on. Congo’s Nsua started swinging heavy as he tried to land a knockout blow. Unfortunately for Blambee, it was he who was knocked out.
