So lets summarize what was happening between Bboys and N. Avocas in the past month and lets get dates straight, because Londolozi and MalaMala always post videos with delay..
First we have this Londolozi video :
Its unknown date exactly when video was filmed but prob around 20 - 25th June, ranger is saying that Tinyo had a clash with 2 N. Avocas around 10 days or so ago (later we found out it was around a month ago), so it was around late May/ early June and that Tinyo since has been in not so great condition with major limp..

Then we have this video, prob taken around 10th of June :
Tinyo still looking rough, but walking better:

Week after that video:
Tinyo's condition getting worse, by rangers words he barely walked few meters and lyed down again, leg looking bad:

Now after that we have MalaMala sightings.

After that it looks like N. Avocas completely take control around MalaMala Main Camp and few Kambulas..
This 2 photos are last sighting of both Bboys..
Latest news for Bboys was on 23th that 1 was seen pretty south in MalaMala..
Here it is for those who think that Tinyo decline was only recently and has nothing to do with Avocas gaining ground..
Tinyo was in bad condition since late May/early June and occasionaly limping even months before that..
N. Avocas claim serious stakes only this month (or in the past 10 days) when Tinyo's condition was at the worst, he could barely move..
Sad to say this, but i think we are looking the end of great Tinyo.
