  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.

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.
