Ragosina Destroys Pena!

Woman’s WIBF/WBA/GBU super middleweight boxing champion Natascha Ragosina (15-0, 11 KOs) took apart Gardy Pena (8-1-1, 5 KOs) by 2nd round TKO to win the vacant WIBA woman’s super middleweight title belt on Saturday night at the Maritim Hotel, in Tiergarten, Berlin. Pena, from the Dominican Republic, was dwarfed by the giant 5′11″ Ragosina, who used her jab to keep keep her on the outside in the first round of the bout. In the 2nd round, however, Ragosina, 31, began landing a slew of hooks that had Pena reeling in response.

Several hard jabs from Ragosina backed Pena to the ropes where he then began unloading hard combinations to the head. Pena was stunned by a right hand at one point. Seeing this, Ragosina fed her three more in succession that sent her to the canvas. The referee then moved in and after taking a glance at Pena, he put a stop the bout. Ragosnia, born in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, boxed carefully in the first round of the fight, putting pressure on her shorter opponent constantly with stinging jab.

In the 2nd round, Ragosina forgot all about jabbing her opponent, instead winging wide hooks that caught Pena again and again as she attempted to come forward. In defense, Pena covered up and tried to weather the storm. However, Ragosina decided that it was the perfect moment to unleash a storm of punches to the wide open Pena. Finally, Ragosnia’s efforts paid off, as Pena sag to the canvas. The referee stepped in and halted the bout at that point at 1:41 of the 2nd round.
