Ghanaian boxer Theophilus Kpakpo "Theo Lopez" Allotey has kept his unbeaten record intact after outclassing Argentina's Facundo David Garcia over 12 rounds at the Bukom Boxing Arena. The win came at the Osagyefo Fight Night, an event held in honour of Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Allotey won a WBA Super Flyweight world title eliminator by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 120-107 in his favour.
Allotey sent Garcia to the canvas in the very first round and never allowed the Argentine to settle. He worked behind sharp combinations, disciplined movement and accurate punching throughout the fight. Garcia showed considerable resilience despite being under sustained pressure for most of the fight. Allotey's perfect 14-0 record was on the line going into the eliminator, underlining how much was at stake for the Ghanaian at Bukom.
Garcia wobbled but survived the initial onslaught. He tried to rally in the final round in search of a knockout blow, but Allotey stayed composed and saw out the closing stages to secure the points victory. Allotey came close to forcing a stoppage in the sixth round, and further assaults in the 10th and 11th rounds left Garcia visibly shaken.
