Nazarov travels to South Africa for the second successive fight to make another successful defence of his WBA Lightweight title against future super middleweight titist Thobela.
Unlike their first bout Nazarov doesn't suffer any scares, absorbing the clean shots Thobela does land with no hassle, and laying a far worse beating on Thobela than he managed first time, rocking the challenger numerous times, dropping him, and generally beating him up.
