Experience boxer, Wilson Masamba, restored his pride when he defeated Malani Kayuni in an eight-round non-title bout at a jam-packed M1 Centrepoint in Lilongwe on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Masamba won the bout on points after the two boxers failed to knock down each other in eight rounds.<\/p>\n
The highly-anticipated bout never lived up to its expectation as it was marred by darkness towards the last two rounds.<\/p>\n
The boxers never showed hunger for a killer-punch as they exercised caution from the first to the last round.<\/p>\n
It was Masamba\u2019s first bout on the local scene since he was knocked out after 47 seconds in Namibia early this year.<\/p>\n
The victory was Masamba\u2019s straight win against Kayuni.<\/p>\n
Masamba dominated the better part of the bout as he used his tricks of hit \u2013and-duck.<\/p>\n
Most of Masamba\u2019s punches were on target, whereas Kayuni was too slow and his punches were off-target.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Kayuni also proved he is a good boxer when he put Masamba under siege in fifth and sixth rounds.<\/p>\n
In his victory speech, Masamba was delighted with the victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gave me a good fight, but I knew I would beat him. I am back to my form and ready to face any boxer,\u201d Masamba said.<\/p>\n
Kayuni accepted defeat, but said he was looking for a re-match.<\/p>\n
In the main supporting bout, Acras Mchombo beat Robert Kachiza.<\/p>\n
Ngwenyama Boxing Promotions organised the bout. The stable\u2019s director, Patrick Ngwenyama, was delighted with the huge turn-out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
