Yonatan Landman Scores a First Round TKO

Yonatan Landman won his fifth pro fight with a first round demolition of Hussein Mashaka at Magereza Hall in beautiful Zanzibar, Tanzania last night. He has won all of his fights by knockout.

Mashaka came out of the starting blocks aggressively, but his punch technique was lacking. Landman stayed composed under fire and landed a right to score a knockdown. Mashaka showed poor punch resistance and became overwhelmed just as Landman started to put his punches together. Mashaka slunk to the canvas and quickly shook his head, indicating he no longer wanted to continue. The ref waved off the fight a minute and 21 seconds into the contest.

The fight took place in an outdoor ring on the island of Zanzibar. Boxing had been banned on the island for sixty years, coinciding with independence in 1963, and was just reinstated last year. Mashaka, a resident of Tanzania, falls to 3-7-1.
