Agbeko stops Eric Kwadey in round 3

Promising Sena Agbeko once again underlined his massive billing with a thrilling 3rd round stoppage win over Eric Kwadey to become the new Ghana Middleweight champion at last Saturday night’s 6-bout boxing extravaganza at the Lebanon House in the heart of Accra. Young Agbeko, who combines the pugilist trade with studying for his Journalism degree, retained the 100% fight and 100% knockout records of his just budding career via the victory over Kwadey to claim the vacant title.

Originally billed to face experienced Ayitey Powers who failed to turn up for the weigh-in and in effect, the fight, the victory may have come far quicker than the scheduled 12 rounds but Sena Agbeko is adamant it was a tough test.

“It was a good exercise, I haven’t fought in ten months and the guy (Kwadey) was also good. He was strong, he was a good opponent, he’s not like someone who was brought just to get beaten. No this guy was good and he helped me identify my strengths. He provided good opposition,” Sena who improved to 12-0, 12 KOs, told www.sportsinghana.com after his victory.
