MMA: Commey pummels Nelson

Bukom-based mixed martial artist, Isaac Commey, proved too strong forUK-based Theophilus Nelson last Saturday after earning a vital knockout win at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Nelson, whose parents hail from Ghana, but was born in England, could not stand the rapid punches and kicks of Commey and his corner had to throw in the towel and be saved by the referee in round two.

The British-born fighter was left dazed by the punches of Commey who increased his victories to 10 wins from 10 fights with all being by way of knockouts.

Nelson was stretched and rushed to the Ridge Hospital in Accra having failed to walk.

Commey said in his post-fight interview that his decision to fight Nelson was to prepare him for the upcoming African Kickboxing championship in Morocco.
“I have won many medals, now I need a title belt. I want to be a world champion; I thank my coaches for this win, as well as Urban Sports Champions and members of Pro
Fight Factory who have supported me, especially Lawrence Nyanyo Nmai and my mother.

“I also thank the media for exposing me as I am the next greatest champion to come from Ghana and my six coaches who have help me to improve technically and psychologically," Commey said.
