Tue, 05 Oct 2010
Gabor Veto needed just 31 seconds to defeat Rajabu Maoja in the first round winning the vacant Central African & Eastern title in Nairobi, Kenya on October 2nd.
Maoja was floored by a lightning-fast left-right combination after just a few seconds and the African fighter never recovered.
Maoja rose but was unable to continue the fight against the undefeated Hungarian prospect. The referee Francis Orlando waved the contest off after just 31 seconds.
Veto, 21, the WBC Youth World lightweight champion, improves to 20 wins and 15 knockouts from 20 fights.
"It was very explosive, it was just what we asked for," Varpalota's Veto informed K24 Sport.
"We had too much dynamite for this guy. After the first shot I could see his legs buckling."
The 34-year-old Maoja came with a record of 16-7-3, 5 KOs into the fight and was expected to make a contest of it in Nairobi's slums of Kibera, Kenya.
Maoja previously fought battles against one of the Philippine`s top contenders in Eric Canoy and former WBC World champion Veerapol Sahaprom from Thailand.
Veto started fast and jumped all over Maoja from the opening bell, sending Maoja to the canvas with devastating right hand.
Maoja was unable to continue the fight. Kenyan referee Francisco Orlando stopped the contest, the African spectators celebrated the WBC no. 21 ranked lightweight Veto`s win.
Veto defeated Tanzanian Omari Ramadan in April and claimed the WBC Youth lightweight crown, he then stepped up in weight with an impressive victory on the Klitschko-Peter undercard over German's undefeaded Philipp Schuster in September.
There are rumours of a match against a former World champion towards the end of the year.
