Super Bantamweight Alexis Boureima Kabore, recently relieved of his WBA Pan-African belt for not defending, got right back into the title picture with a slow paced, but entertaining twelve round decision over Uganda's experienced Sande Kizito claiming the vacant ABU belt in a close fight.
The Ugandan Olympian, who started his career battling current world champion Vic Darchinyan three times while based in Australia, picked up the pace in the late rounds but Kabore was equal to the task in managing to stay unbeaten in sixteen outings. Kizito returns home with a 12-9-1 tab.
Light Heavyweight brother Boniface Kabore got off to an excellent start in his twelve rounder decking unbeaten Egyptian champion Hany Atiyo twice, but a cut on the eyebrow brought a premature stoppage forcing an unfortunate TKO ending in favor of the visitor who collects his eleventh straight win. For Kabore, also a former holder of the WBA Pan-African belt, the dominant showing should be grounds for a rematch to allow him to avenge this defeat, only the second of his career in fifteen paid matches.
In a Super Welterweight matchup, unbeaten strongman Patrice Sou-Toke kept his Ouaga fans happy with a victory over Nigeria's Opaldinan Alamu for his fourteenth straight win.
