15:35oh and
15:36Samuel gets out of the ring
15:38and I think
15:40uh
15:42it was as a result
15:44of him charging him
15:46and Faisal side stepping
15:48Faisal side stepping
15:50and tossing him out of the ring

17:18with his left hook
17:20and Faisal
17:22Faisal seems to have abandoned
17:24his job
17:26but I think he has to revisit it again
17:28Faisal needs to revisit
17:30his job
17:36you know
17:38hustle and tussle there
17:40from these two boogalos
17:44and
17:46we're getting into

17:50of
17:52this
17:5412 rounds
17:56scheduled of the
17:58WBO Africa Superlight
18:06IMAX boxing promotion
18:08making sure
18:12this title
18:14defends of Faisal
18:16Abubakar going at
18:18Samuel Abubakar
18:20huge, huge combination
18:24really, really
18:26let me tell you
18:28Samuel
18:30didn't see that coming from
18:32Faisal Abubakar
18:34exactly
18:38and no
18:40Rafael Azevedo
18:48I think what we just saw, the referee asked him a question and I think his slow response prompted the referee to stop the fight.
19:03Well, it was the referee who was watching the body language of Samuel Obama, looking at him to see if he can get something that can really tell him that he can really continue on.
19:19If we look here, after he was dropped, the referee rushed him.
19:24And let me tell you, that was some combination that he was disoriented.
19:33And he shouldn't have turned. He shouldn't have turned because he was lost.
19:40The referee asked him to come forward three several times and he refused.
19:47He did it four times.
19:49Do you think it was a good call?
19:52Yeah, that was it. That was it.
19:54So the referee asked him to come forward three, four times, but the boxer was not responding.
20:01And that is where the referee decided to call it off.
20:04It was a good call by the referee.
20:06Yeah, I agree with you my brother.
20:07Well, tough luck for Samuel that the fight had come to this end.
20:21But anyway, if we walk through the replay that built up to the knockdown.
20:27After he went down, he got up immediately. That was his first mistake.
20:34He should have remained down and kept his composure.
20:41There you go. He goes down here. He got up immediately.
20:46That was where he got the first mistake wrong. He couldn't keep his balance.
20:51Then he took a stand. He bounced around and even bouncing around, he still couldn't find his equilibrium.
20:58So he walked into the corner.
20:59Now, referee called him towards him, drew him to himself more than three times.
21:08Look at where he was going. He had completely lost his balance.
21:11And so, with his experience, he took the best decision to save the boxer.
21:19Don't forget, he already had a cut on the eye, so he was bleeding quite a lot.
21:26And then, you went down.
21:29And then, immediately, boxers, trainers, or connoisseurs of the game will tell you,
21:35when a boxer goes down, you don't get up immediately. You lose the focus and balance.
21:41It happened to a former Ghanaian who was a then world champion before.
21:46And that was how he lost his title. You understand?
21:50And so, after that, he got up and started bouncing around to see if he could get the balance.
21:56It still wasn't there. You understand? It still wasn't there.
22:00And then, he went into the neutral corner.
22:03And referee called him, beckoned him to come towards him more than three times.
22:11He didn't know where he was.
22:13I hope we are not talking about Richard Comey here, who suffered a similar incident.
22:19And someone tried to use his experience.
22:2317 wins. No drop on him.
22:30And still, the WBO Africa Super Lightweight Champion,
22:35Abubakar!
