Out of Africa

[vistaman44]

Thanks for the pics and fighters, guys. Keep 'em coming.

The links on the Schutte pic and Hagler's post appear to be missing or something. I can't see them, anyway.

I have added Okhello, Izon's brother, Sebastian Rothmann and several others to the list, and will be updating in the near future. Would be glad to hear about any others not listed here who should be, or who you want to see.

Thanks again ...

It may be something on your end Mark, all the links look fine from here. (you're not missing much with Schutte anyway - it is a nice photo of the soles of his shoes though )

Here is a pic of Ethiopian super middleweight Sammy Retta, who I have added to the second batch of Africans.

Not sized ...

You can never have too many "opponents."

Guys;
Just searched for Bashew Sibaca and Anton Nel pics posted somewhere in the forum earlier, but cannot find them. Also, my dowload of Mike Schutte pic was corrupted. Could someone repost or e-mail me the pics at vistaman44@yahoo.com please? Thanks.
