	Boxing News: Ndou gunning for the big names at 140
		Top ten ranked junior welterweight contender Lovemore "The Black Panther" Ndou is convinced that the elite fighters in the 140 pound division are running scared of him after his close decision loss to IBF interim champion Sharmba Mitchell in February of this year.
		Earlier this year Ndou came within a whisker of winning his first world title when he traveled to the United States as a late replacement for the injured Kostya Tszyu.
		It's obvious from Ndou's tone that he is disappointed at having so many big fights fall apart when they are on the verge of being signed, sealed and delivered.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - " A Bout Between Two Unwanted Fighters touch"... by Darren Yates from Down Under
		Lovemore lost a very close decision for the interim IBF 140 pound world title with Mitchell, a bout Sharmba should feel very lucky to have won.
		Ndou’s bout with Cotto was not as close with the young Puerto Rican superstar in the making winning the toughest bout of his career clearly over 12 rounds.
		Ndou thought he was to be in the ring opposite Floyd Mayweather Jnr in January but the "Pretty One" chose a softer touch against Henry Brussells.

		Mitchell had Ndou pinned on the ropes in brief instances and was generally the busier fighter as he took the opening stanza.
		Ndou, who switches his lead hand from right to left at various times throughout a fight, got going in the third when he landed some clean shots to the head and then dug into the body.
		Ndou showed a tight defense in the sixth, but Mitchell gave him angles and landed well to carry to round.

		Lovemore Ndou Fights On Despite his second close points loss in a high profile fight this year, Lovemore Ndou will continue on and has committed himself to his on-going quest for a world title.
		While Ndou's left ribs were injured by a Cotto thunderbolt in the fifth round, he gamely fought on, giving the 23 year-old Puerto Rican the toughest fight of his career to date.
		Ndou's wife was refused entry to the USA after a visa bungle the day before the fight and locked up for 15 hours before being sent back to Australia.

	Temp
		Ndou, a late sub for Juan “Pollo” Valenzuela, whined about everyone mispronouncing his name (it’s Nuh-doo and no apostrophe between the N and the d) and continued his unbroken record of screaming robbery in losing once again in a big US fight).
		In the third, Ndou began to come on and landed some heavy leather on his opponent, but he still appeared just a little tense and unwilling to open up.
		Ndou showed his mettle in taking these shots, but obviously sensing a points deficit, he began to stalk Cotto through the eighth.

		Lovemore "Mr Hyperactive" Ndou is much like like Sam Soliman in his approach to the sport and potential opponents as he is willing fight anyone around his weight anytime, anywhere and usually with short notice.
		It is interesting to see Lovemore now training under Jeff Fenech as the two had a very public feud a few years ago, nice to see people forgiving and forgetting as I'm sure Jeff will only add considerable value to Lovemore's career.
		As tough and skilled as Lovemore Ndou is, its hard to see him getting a shot at a title soon due to the losses to Mitchell and Cotto.

		Although Ndou is the current IBF junior welterweight pan pacific champion, this won’t be the first time “The Angel” moves up in weight to prove his class.
		Given Lovemore Ndou’s own gutsy, all heart approach, this match should be a sensational one and fight-fans can expect a classic confrontation.

		It didn’t hurt Ndou at all, but it was the first time in the fight that either fighter made a move for supremacy.
		Cotto was quick to adapt though, and by round nine, he was moving around the ring fast enough to dodge Ndou’s aggression and counter effectively.

		This era’s Goossen is sending new signee Lovemore Ndou out to the local park in Sherman Oaks to run, so maybe he’s learned a thing or two.
		Ndou had a lot of heat on him a few years ago and was ranked as high as no. 2 by the World Boxing Council but the inactivity and the fact he won’t move to the US, has slowed his progress.
		Goossen acknowledged that he is virtually throwing Ndou in - let the chips fall where they may. He could have given “The Black Panther” an easier fight first time out - but this, let’s not forget, is the new Dan Goossen.
