WBF Women’s World Super
Featherweight Champion Ramona
“The Dragon” Kuehne returned to
the ring after a fourteen month
injury lay-off to successfully
defend her title on Saturday
night, March 2, at the MBS Arena
in Potsdam, Germany.
More than 3000 fans in the arena
saw Kuehne dominate Brazilian
challenger Halana Dos Santos for
ten rounds, and score a
one-sided unanimous decision:
100-90, 100-90 and 99-91. She
improves her professional record
to 20-1 (6), while Dos Santos
falls to 14-5 (9).
Keuhne, making her fourth
defense of the WBF title, made
Dos Santos come forward in the
first round and effectively
countered the South Americans
attacks. From the second round
on it was Kuehne on the
offensive, and Dos Santos was
thoroughly put in her place with
excellent boxing from the
champion.
Especially in the fifth and
eight rounds it was one-way
traffic, and while she was not
able to threaten Kuehne, Dos
Santos deserves credit for not
giving up and for doing her best
under heavy fire. The difference
in class was just too big, and
there was never any doubt as to
who would emerge victorious.
“It was very hard to be out of
the ring for so long, but the
fight was fun”, said a happy
Kuehne at the post fight press
conference. “The spectators were
fantastic, and I hope to fight
in Potsdam again in the future.”
The Ramona Kuehne vs. Halana Dos
Santos WBF World Super
Featherweight title fight was
promoted by SES Boxing, and went
out live in Germany on Sport 1
television. |
