In front of a good crowd at the
Brandenburg Halle in Frankfurt/Oder,
live on free web stream
worldwide, and televised by SAT
1 in Germany, World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Champions Ramona Kuehne and
Christina Hammer successfully
defended their crowns on Friday
night, December 6.
Super Featherweight World
Champion Kuehne put on a
convincing performance as she
beat old foe Renata Domsodi from
Hungary.
Their original encounter, in
January 2012, ended
inconclusively when Domsodi
suffered a bad cut, resulting in
Kuehne winning by TKO in round
eight. This time there would be
no questions afterwards as to
who is better of the two.
After an even first round,
Kuehne started to take over in
round two and from round four it
was one-way traffic as a sharp
and determined champion punished
the game but out-gunned
Hungarian.
In round six referee Paul Thomas
had seen enough and waved the
fight off when Domsodi continued
to take punches without firing
anything back. The time was
1:50.
This being the fifth successful
defense of the WBF title she won
in June 2010, Kuehne improved
her professional record to 21-1
(7). Domsodi drops to 11-4 (5).
In the co-feature, Christina
Hammer showed once again that
she is undoubtedly the best
female Middleweight in the
world, outclassing Mexico’s
Carmen Garcia to retain her WBF
world title for the sixth time.
Hammer took control from the
start and it was quickly clear
that the challenger was in over
her head, as the champion landed
almost at will.
Midway through the first round,
Hammer forced Garcia to the
ropes and unleashed a quick
flurry of punches, many of which
connected, and after 1:42 of the
round referee Ingo Barrabas
jumped in to save Gacia.
Only 23-years-old, Hammer now
holds an undefeated ledger of
16-0 (8), while Garcia (19)
travels back to Mexico at 10-3
(5).
With few challenges left at
Middleweight at the moment,
Hammer could, for the right
fight, be headed back up to
Super Middleweight, where she
won and relinquished the WBF
World title earlier this year.
The Kuehne vs. Domsodi, Hammer
vs. Garcia WBF World
Championship doubleheader was
promoted by SES Boxing.
