Freddy Kiwitt Wins Twelve-Round Decision Over Suleiman Jafaru

Jafaru had early success. In the second round he drove Kiwitt into a corner and unloaded in the opening minute, then finished the round with Kiwitt shelled up as the bell sounded. The third followed a similar pattern, with Jafaru pressing Kiwitt to the ropes and forcing him to work defensively for long stretches.

Kiwitt steadied the fight in the fourth, finding space and landing more consistently before Jafaru rallied again late. Momentum shifted back and forth through the middle rounds. Jafaru outworked Kiwitt in the fifth and much of the sixth, but Kiwitt finished the sixth round strongly, opening a nosebleed on Jafaru just before the bell.

From the seventh on, Kiwitt’s control became more consistent. He kept Jafaru on the defensive in the seventh and edged a competitive ninth that had action from both men. Jafaru briefly regained ground in the tenth, pushing Kiwitt to the ropes and landing enough to take the round, but the closing frames swung back toward the champion.

Kiwitt pressed the action in the eleventh and finished the twelfth with the cleaner work as Jafaru showed visible damage, bleeding from the nose and mouth at the end. The decision went to Kiwitt after twelve rounds.
