Bukom Banku still unbeaten in 26 fights

…records 20 knock outs

Ghana’s Braimah Kamoko aka Bukom Banku still remains unbeaten after winning his 26th bout against Georgian opponent George Tevdorshvili at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday May 4, 2013 under a GoldenMike Promotion dubbed “The Danger Zone”.

He recorded his 20th knock-out of his career after his opponent failed to return to the ring after six rounds.

Bukom Banku, fighting as a cruiserweight started on a slow key as the Georgian brawler dominated the first three rounds with series of body punches, but got tired.

Kamoko took control in the fourth round, constantly punching the ribs of the Georgian to punish him with occasional jabs punches to the admiration of the crowd at the arena.

Bukom Banku, who could hardly land any punch on the face of his opponent due to his good defensive approach and constant clinching finally landed several body punches on Tevdorashvili in rounds five and six, which eventually led to his inability to respond to the bell for the seventh round to grant the Ghanaian victory.

In other fights, Albert Mensah knocked-out Ben Odametey in the seventh round to win the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Africa Super Lightweight title, whilst Issah Samir knocked-out another Georgian, Robision Omsarahvili in one minute, 39 seconds of the third round to win the IBF World Youth Light Middleweight title.

Ghana based Nigerian female boxer, Helen Joseph knocked- out Mariana Gulyas of Hungary in 33 seconds of round one of IBF Intercontinental Female Featherweight title, in what was described as one of the fastest records in boxing history. Just one punch to the body of Gulvas saw her on the canvas.

Floyd Mayweather training partner, Bastie Samir, also knocked out Ademola Faniny of Nigeria, in a ten round International Middleweight contest to round up the bouts for the day.

Fans who trooped the Accra Sports Stadium for the bouts were highly impressed and satisfied with the results. One fan, Solomon Arenu said it is good that there are more promotions coming up in the capital. He prayed that other promoters will come up with mouthwatering clashes.

Another fan, Terazo said Ghana has boxing talents and they can be exposed if there are good promotions. He praised Baby Jet, Fresh King and Golden Mike for the recent promotions.
