    Default Baby Jake Matlala has passed!

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if you remember him, but he had the WBO lightweight title in the 80's. Fought Carbajal and Paul Weir and won.

    Great little fighter. Only saw him live once, back in 1997, he beat Mickey Cantwell at Millwall on the Naz vs Tom Johnson undercard!

    Remember the same thing! He was the smallest champion at the time.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I remember watching him in a few fights in England. The ones I saw he was built like a mini Tyson and was strong and tough!
