in relation to avoca vs tsalala, yes the Avocas fought the 3 tsalala boys and won. 

"However, the hope of a stable near-future for the Tsalala Males and Eyrefield lionesses was short-lived. On 26 March, the guides at Lion Sands Kruger National Park witnessed the unpleasant aftermath of a territorial dispute between the Tsalala and Avoca Males that morning. Despite the Tsalalas having numbers on their side, the Avocas severely injured one of their lions. The guides later saw him in a bad condition, with what appeared to be injuries to his spine. We weren’t able to relocate him for several days afterwards, so were unsure of the extent of his wounds.
Two Tsalala Males were seen together a few days later, moving from Lion Sands Kruger National Park back into Lion Sands Sabi Sand, with no sign of the third. We were worried that their injured brother might not have made it. Thankfully, on 1 April, all three males were seen together, although not in top condition. They will need to hunt soon and recover quickly if they are going to maintain a presence in this area.
After the fight between the coalitions, the Avoca Males wasted no time in finding the Eyrefields lionesses again. They were spotted together, with one lioness displaying coy behaviour towards one of the males. We didn’t see them mate, although it is likely they had been. If these lionesses hold back from mating, it would be because they are waiting to see if these males are strong enough to defend the territory and their future offspring.

We will have to wait and see what happens next…"

this from lionsands blog... 

in relation to this new situation about 2 avocas vs bboys, my money is of course in the brothers, Avoca  boys... the bboys ever fight with other coalition in the past? 

Well i know that 1 injured Tsalala was seen few days after in Londolozi with his brothers, but i never read that somebody witness the fight and that it come from the Avocas, regardless, Tsalalas where atleast half a year younger and not ready yet to be a dominant males over older Avocas.

Bboys did maul 1 male to death in Manyeleti, i forgot which one, and did several beatings to the 2 Selati males when they started to establish themselfs in the north, but main reason they didnt fight that much is because other coalitions didnt want to mess with coalition of 5 and later 4 (S. Matimbas example) and not because they are "weak",they are known for beign very agressive and dominant males, they did whatever they want since they become dominant in late 2015,and nobody challenge them still to today, always holding multiple and the biggest prides, that speaks something about them.

I like S. Avocas, they are big and beutiful males, but they still need to prove themself.

Thats my opninion, everyone has his own and i respect that.

Latest reports are that Bboys with Kambulas are heading back north in MalaMala, so prob nothing will happen afterall. Reply
