    Kentikian Destroys Anchorena


    (Susianna Kentikian, shown on left tagging Anchorena) 30.03.07 - By
    Fritz Drexel: Earlier tonight, WBA female flyweight champion Susianna
    Kentikian (16-0, 13 KO's) stopped Maria Jose Nunez Anchorena (7-2, 6
    KO's) in the 3rd round of their scheduled 10-round bout at the Köln
    Arena, in Germany. Kentikian, 19, originally from Yerevan, Armenia
    and now living in Germany, making the first defense of her WBA
    flyweight boxing title, was much too quick and powerful for her
    overmatched opponent from Uraguay, controlling the bout all the way
    through until the bitter end in the 3rd.

    In the 1st round, both fighters started out slowly, with Nunez mostly
    staying to the outside, harmlessly flicking wild jabs that missed the
    mark badly. Kentikian, boxing out of a crouch, quickly closed the
    distance, shooting out left-right combination thrown with mean
    intentions. As the round neared the end, Kentikian landed two
    consecutive left hooks to the head of Anchorena, 33, snapping her
    back violently. The punches were beautifully thrown, looking like a
    textbook example of how to throw a left hook. Superb! As Kentikian
    walked back to her corner, she grinned impishly, looking like he had
    just her a good joke.

    Kentikian came out fast in the 2nd round, landing a quick flurry that
    backed Anchorena up near her corner, where Kentikian then unleashed a
    long right shot that exploded off Anchorena's face, sending her down
    to the canvas. She quickly got up, appearing more embarrassed than
    actually hurt. Kentikian immediately followed up with a series of
    left-right combinations, but Anchorena took the shots well, and
    responded with a couple of shots of her own. None of the shots had
    any effect on Kentikian, who continued her steady attack on
    Anchorena. Near the end of the round, Kentikian landed another right
    hand shot that shook Anchorena, causing her legs to buckle slightly.
    However, she was able to make it out of the round without getting
    blasted again by another right hand.

    In the 3rd round, Kentikian, looking as if she wanted to end fight,
    immediately pounced on Anchorena at the center of the ring, landing a
    quick left-right combination, again, thrown with beautiful form. She
    followed with a jab, and then another left-right combination, which
    badly hurt Anchorena, sending her in retreat against the ropes.
    Kentikian calmly followed her and landed a final four punch
    combination that caused the referee to halt the bout one minute into
    the 3rd round.
