Golola knocks out Semata

KICKBOXING

Moses Golola beat Umar Semata by a technical knockout in the much-anticipated rematch fight between Uganda's kickboxing beasts which took place at Freedom City's Auditorium in Namasuba on Saturday.

The flamboyant motor-mouth Golola who looked weak in the first round of the five planned rounds had started worrying his supporters and giving those of Umar Semata something to smile about.

However, on return to the second round, Golola became thirsty to knockout Semata by concentrating on boxing the opponent's face.

This went on until the third round when Semata was finally knocked out sending his supporters to cheering mood and Semata throwing in the towel. When asked to comment about the fight Semata said that Golola had fouled him by kicking him while still on the ground and he called for another rematch.

Semata had won the first fight in 2018 and it looked like it was going to be a trend after he won the first round where he capitalized on his good kicks to create a needed range and also keep Golola at the cove. But it wasn't easy for him this time.
