Unbeaten WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (21-0, 18 KOs) scored a tenth round TKO over a game, but outgunned former IBF champion Kassim Ouma (27-8-1, 17 KOs)in the first of two WBA world title bouts on Friday night at the Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama. Ouma was very active with trademark high punch rate, but Golovkin’s pressure and harder punches took their toll midway through the fight. Doctors took a long look at Ouma after round eight. Golovkin punished Ouma in a one-sided round nine. The beatdown continued in round ten and the bout was finally waved off. Time was 1:25.
WBA bantamweight super champion Anselmo “Chemito” Moreno (31-1-1, 10 KOs) scored an eighth round TKO of former flyweight champ Lorenzo “Lencho” Parra (31-3-1, 18 KOs) after Parra said he couldn’t continue due to a hand injury. It was Moreno’s eighth successful defense
