Three new quality World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Champions were
crowned on Saturday night,
September 29, as a big WBF
double-header was staged in
Lille, France, and one WBF title
fight headlined a show in
Sonora, Mexico.
At the Palais St. Sauveur in
Lille, local star Licia Boudersa
moved up from Featherweight,
where she held the European
crown, to claim the vacant WBF
Womens World Super Featherweight
title after a dominant
performance against
Germany-based Bosnian Hasna
Tukic.
Outclassing her opponent in
every way, Boudersa knocked
Tukic down with a barrage in
round four and again in the
seventh, making referee Smail
Alitouche stop the onslaught.
Official time of stoppage was
1:52 of round seven.
The new WBF World Super
Featherweight Champion, still
only twenty-six years old,
improved her professional record
to 13-1-2 (3). Hasna Tukic (23),
who lost a decision in a
challenge of WBF World
Lightweight Champion Nicole
Wesner last year, falls to 10-8
(9).
In the co-featured bout, Vasil
Ducar from the Czech Republic
shocked local man Samuel Kadje
by scoring a tenth round
stoppage, only eight seconds
from the final bell, to win the
vacant WBF Intercontinental
Cruiserweight title in a high
class battle of unbeatens.
Kadje, who forced the action
while Ducar effectively
countered, appeared enroute to a
decision victory, but completely
ran out of gas in the final
round and was stopped when Ducar
took advantage, forcing referee
Christophe Hembert to wave it
off by landing a flurry of
unanswered punches.
At the time of the stoppage
(2:52), Vasil Ducar, now 7-0-1
(6), was behind on all three
scorecards by 84-87, 85-87 and
83-88. 28-year-old Samuel Kadje
lost for the first time in the
paid code, and sees is ledger
dip to 12-1 (10). Promoter was
Boxing Club Lille.
In Sonora, Mexico, Victor
Betancourt won the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF) Mexican
Super Featherweight title when
he beat Saul “Temible” Banos in
the headliner of a show promoted
by Rodrigo Escobar and his ER
Promotions.
It was a competitive and
entertaining fight, but
Betancourt was the sharper and
more active man, and after ten
rounds he was deservedly
declared the winner by unanimous
decision. Banos put up a good
effort, but he was always one
step behind his foe.
Judges Jacinto Arambula, Antonio
Lizaraga and Ray Armendariz
scored the fight 98-94, 98-92
and 100-90 respectively.
Betancourt is now 25-2 (12),
Banos 14-10-2 (7).
