Two of
Ghana's boxing stars shined on Saturday
evening, October 16, at the La Palm Royal
Beach Hotel in Accra,
capturing
Universal
Boxing Organization™
(UBO)
titles
with very different kinds of victories.

Highly
touted Holy Dorgbetor made something of a
break-through for himself as he won the vacant
UBO Inter-Continental Featherweight title with a
hard-fought victory over Success Tetteh.
This was
an all-action encounter, as the boxers decided
to go toe-to-toe in the first round. The pace
continued to be high, but from the fourth round
Dorgbetor started to find his rhythm better than
Tetteh, and used his superior reach.
Dorgbetor
scored a flash knock-down in round
eight, landing a jab, but
Tetteh claimed it was a slip and got up quickly.
Tetteh marched on, landing his own hard shots in
every round, but Dorgbetor was effective in
mostly controlling him on the back foot.

As they
entered the championship rounds, Tetteh looked
tired but showed heart and determination in
abundance. Dorgbetor had a big round eleven, and
scored two more knock-downs in the twelfth to
put an exclamation point on his victory.
Judges
Michael Neequaye, Clement Ashong and Shadrack
Acquaye saw the fight widely in favour of
Dorgbetor, 120-106, 120-105 and 119-105
respectively, but those scores doesn't do the
effort of Tetteh justice by any means.
Dorgbetor,
still only twenty-two years old, took his pro
ledger to
8-0 (5),
while Tetteh drops to 10-3 (8).

World
class Super Lightweight Robert “The Stopper”
Quaye improved his
unblemished
professional
record to
20-0 (17),
winning the vacant UBO International title by
stopping Nathanael Nukpe, now 13-8-1 (13), in
the
first
round.
Time of
stoppage was 2:07.
Quaye
floored Nukpe with a well-placed left uppercut,
but the Ghana-based Togolese appeared to beat
the referees count quite easily.
However,
when everyone thought the fight was about to
continue, Nukpe, in what was a stark contrast to
the bravery shown by Tetteh in the co-featured
bout, simply made it clear that he did not want
to continue.
