WBO #8 middleweight and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Kanat Islam (27-0, 21 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over Walter Kautondokwa (18-2, 17 KOs) to retain his WBO International title on Saturday night at the Baluan Sholak Sports Palace in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Islam started well dropped Kautondokwa with a left hook in round five, then wilted badly over the remaining rounds but still got the win by wide margins 97-92 (twice) and 99-92. It was not a great night for Kanat.
