Boxing Action in Ngara
By Edward Sande
August 11, 2008

     
   
   
   
   
(AUG 11) The WAR boxing event at the Shan Cinema in Ngara lived to its billing and fans at the venue were treated to five competitive matchups on Saturday afternoon. Bringing the house down as promised by the Co-promoters Timebomb Promotions and Jab Productions the event showcased fights that were entertaining.

In the double header, WBC International Super bantamweight Champion Sande Otieno showed fans what the 'sweet science' really means by taming the wily James Mokiwa of Tanzania with only body punches. Rarely did Sande go for head shots, but he did enough to force Mokiwa to retire in the fourth round.

Sande said in a post fight interview, “The plan was to weaken him with body shots, then I would switch to his head to finish him off in the late rounds.”

The co-main event had Douglas Otieno against another Tanzanian, Idd Kigulla. Kigulla's clutching style had made it for Otieno to get clean shots, and several times, the referee had to intervene to separate the boxers. In the fourth round, Kigulla walked into his opponent's left hook and tumbled to the canvas. Kigulla did not make the count and the referee stopped the fight.

Fighting from behind his educated jab national featherweight Champion John Gicharu forced his Tanzanian opponent, Karage Suba to retire from the fight in round three. Karage's onslaught had Gicharu on the defensive in the first round as he attacked the National champion with a barrage of body shots. Gicharu picked up the pace in the second round and using his jab well, he overcame the Tanzanian, registering his third career knock out.

Nick 'Kanyankole' Otieno had a good fight against hard man Mika Elly. The scheduled six rounder ended in the fifth round when the referee stopped the fight to save the resilient Elly from further punishment. Elly had just made an eight count in the same round, and Kanyankole followed his advantage, cornering him in the corner with over 12 continuous punches.

In the only female fight on the card, Benedetta Kaloki, 125.4, had to make quick adjustments to overcome debut Sarah Achieng, 126.1. Achieng came with all guns blazing in the first round, and managed to rock Kaloki with some good overhand rights. Achieng who enjoyed a better hand reach obviously won the first round, and fans thought she would cause an upset against her opponent. However, quick fight plan adjustments by her corner so her come on top in the remaining three rounds. Fighting from outside well out of reach of the long armed Achieng, Kaloki got her act together and picked of Achieng on the back foot, scoring well and ensuring that her third professional fight was sealed. Kaloki won by a majority decision, with final scores of 39-39, 40-39, 40-39.

Three of the champions on the card are all preparing for international title fights in the next two months. Kanyankole and Sande will be traveling to the Philippines for a WBC International flyweight and Super bantamweight titles respectively. Kanyankole will face Fernando Lamuncad while Sande will battle another Pilipino boxer Balweg Bangoyan on the same fight card in October. John Gicharu is set for a date with Joni D'Alesandro in another title fight in Germany next month.
