EFC43 sees Zulu boy overpower Nemo in TKO

Backed by a boisterous crowd chanting his name, ‘Nemo’ entered the hexagon looking to make good on his destiny.

A PARTISAN crowd packed out the Durban ICC Arena in anticipation of an action packed evening of fights at EFC 43, with the flyweight championship fight between Nkazimulo ‘Zulu Boy’ Zulu and Toti’s Craig ‘Nemo’ Ninow headlining the event.

Backed by a boisterous crowd chanting his name, ‘Nemo’ entered the hexagon looking to make good on his destiny.

It was not to be though, as history repeated itself in a rematch between the two. Zulu put on a clinical performance with a well thought strategy. He took Ninow down early which made the local wary of further take-downs and kept his distance. This lead to Ninow’s eventual downfall as he was caught with a devastating uppercut. As soon as Ninow dropped, Zulu pounced on his opponent, landing vicious ground and pound shots that forced the referee to award the victory via TKO.
