World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Super Welterweight
Champion Christiano Ndombassy had to
dig deep to retain his title on
Sunday, June 26, in Polokwane, South
Africa.
In a thrilling battle between big
punchers, the Angolan was behind on
two scorecards when he hurt local
challenger Junior Makondo in the
final round, forcing a stoppage with
a big flurry. Official time: 1:50 of
round ten.
Before that it was back and forth
action, with the spectators at
Meroba Casino getting their moneys
worth from the first bell and the
challenger getting the best of most
exchanges.
But it was all in vain, as
Ndombassy, sensing the urgency,
never stopped trying to salvage his
title and eventually succeeded.
Ndombassy, making his first
title-defense, is now 13-6 (10).
Makondo drops to 8-6-1 (7).
Promoter was Mama Rocks Boxing
Promotions.
