South Africa has another potential
future star on their hands in Daniel
Pontac, who showed on Friday night,
November 18, in Cape Town that he is
one to look out for.
At the Vibrant Hall, Pontac won the
vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Flyweight title,
defeating the much more experienced
Mzwabantu Dabaza in exciting
fashion.
Dabaza started well, but Pontac
weathered the early storm and came
back strong to take over, showing
great maturity to out-punch and
outlast his opponent.
Pontac´s work-rate increased as the
fight progressed, and he landed
solid shots to both body and head
before a barrage of unanswered
punches forced referee Sipho
Ndongeni to call a halt to the bout
at 2:35 of round nine.
Zimbabwe-born Pontac, fighting out
of Bellville, Western Cape, improved
his professional record to 7-0 (5).
Dabaza, from Uitenhage, Eastern
Cape, dips to 11-11-1 (7).
The fight headlined a card staged by
Jackie Brice Boxing Promotions.
