Sikdar
accepted a tough and experienced opponent in
former Asian champion Villar for what was his
first championship fight, and Villar had the
self-confidence to go into his opponents
back-yard for the opportunity to win the vacant
UBO title.
But the
big challenge proved too early for Sikdar, as
Villar came out determined to make a statement
and overwhelmed him, scoring three knock-downs
in the first round before the onslaught was
waved off.
It was
destructive and impressive, and 35-year-old
southpaw Villar, fighting out of Dubai, looks
like a man who is still in or close to his
prime.
