This boy (Skorro Jr.) is really a warrior.
I bet that he would be hard to beat if had a healthy partner. Wishing him long life and finding a partner!!

Will be interesting to see if Skorro Jr. turns his eye onto lone dominant males like Imbali or Kruger males.
If he stays around northern Sabi Sands, it wont take him long to figure that its a fair fight.
While it will be a 1v1 against either of those males, I do not like Skorro Jr's chances in this case. Both the Imbali and Kruger males are more experienced and in their absolute prime.

We dont know how would those clashes go.
If we are talking about absolute prime, then thats Skorro Jr. , as he will soon turn 7 yrs old in few months, while Imbali and Kruger male should be 9 this year, maybe even close to 10 soon, both males are assumed to be born during 2013, Imbali might be even older (we dont know for sure). Both males still look great, but Skorro Jr. is 2-3 yrs younger.
As for experience, yes, Imbali is definitely more experience in 1vs1 department, as he is lone, dominant male for quite some time, but both Skorro Jr and Kruger male had partners until this year, so i think they are in similar position here.
