But in round three, the tide turned dramatically
as Postolo hurt Maugo early, and then put on the
pressure.
Postolo connected with some vicious uppercuts
but the visitor made it through the round.
However, at this point it already looked like a
matter of time before Postolo would be able to
catch Maugo again and finish the job.
The end came in round four, when Postolo hurt
Maugo again and the referee saved him from
further punishment at 2:01 of the stanza.
Matamba Postolo, who improved his professional
record to 18-0 (12), becomes the first Congolese
World Champion from Katanga to win the title
inside the Katanga Province.
He was presented with the UBO World title belt
by the chief of the Sports Division,
representing all regional authorities.
Promoter of the show, which had three national
title eliminators on the undercard, was Manda
Mukadi.
