Nhlanguleni sustained far worst injurys hance he is considered looser of the fight.

That depends who would act subbmissive at the end of confrontation and what kind of injurys they would have sustain. It does't matter where Wide Nose would go after the confrontation. 

But this isn't a street fight. We look at lion fights in the context of territorial and pride acquisition not who has a bloody nose. If a nomadic male fights a dominant male and the result of that fight is the nomadic male leaving the area and the dominant male retaining his pride, then the nomad lost. 

Like I mentioned before, if Makulu beat Nhlanguleni during an territory takeover it makes no sense for him to retreat. He would've chased Nhlanguleni out of the area

Ok, now I think understand your position that Mak lost the fight. If understood correctly, Mak lost because Nhlanguleni retained the pride for a few days after their fight despite his injuries.

Yeah that's the way I view it. Although If we're looking solely at injuries dished out then Mak won

Earlier you said that the Selati had not lost in the first clashes with the 3 Mapogo, but now Mak would have lost, even though the other had been beaten, and after a few days he disappeared for ever.

In my personal opinion, Mak won the fight/battle with Nhlanguleni but not the territorial war during said fight. Mapogos won the territorial war with the disappearance of Nhlanguleni.

With respect to the selatis in the first altercation, the selatis inflicted a big beating only to PB, who was caught alone. Then, selatis fled after getting a little beating from Mr. T and Mak at their arrival. Therefore, it is more reasonably to say that mapogos won said fight but a month later mapogos lost the territorial war. Reply
