Kentikian wins the vacant WBA Flyweight Title
By Torben L. of Denmark
February 17, 2007

     
   
   
   
   

(FEB 17) Last night's WBA Flyweight World Championship Fight between Carolina Alvarez of Venezuela and Armenian born Susianna Kentikian ended with a TKO in favor of Kentikian. The 19 year old Kentikian demolished her 10 year older opponent over eight rounds until the referee - Mark Nelson of USA - called a halt to the punishment 27 seconds into the 9th round.

Alvarez came forward from the first bell, in her somewhat unorthodox style, trying to jump her punches in, and throwing a lot of haymakers that was far to easy to read for a quality boxer like Kentikian. The aggressive style obviously suited Kentikian, who caught the very open Venezuelaen with crisp punches, as she came forward.

Alvarez is known for her punching power. But her punching power had little effect, as she rarely managed to catch her fast moving target, and her deficiency in defensive skills made Kentikian hit her almost at will. Alvarez is to be admired for her enormous fighting spirit, guts and a very solid chin, but unless she improves her guard she will have big problems every time she enters the ring against top class boxers.

Kentikian's victory was never in doubt, and her performance tonight proves, that she belongs among the top contenders in the flyweight division.

Naturally, Susianna was overjoyed at winning her first World Championship belt, but tonight was also significant in other respects for the young talent. Appearing in the main event on prime time nationwide TV for the first time, has obviously given her a big boost, and she showed her appreciation after the fight by grabbing the ring microphone and thanking her promoter Dietmar Poszwa and ProSieben for putting their trust in her, and her trainer Magomed Schaburow for his part in her success.

Kentikian won not only a World Title Belt, but also the hearts of a huge TV audience.
