About the 2008-12-19 uganda event:
I believe this was done deliberately :
[1] 8 ROUND BOUT
Hussein Chiwa contracted to fight a 6 round bout however as the boxers were being introduced to the public in the middle of the ring, to our surprise the Master of Ceremony announced that they were fighting in an 8 bout .
I complained to the referee Said Tebazarwa right there because the bout had not started. The referee Said Tebazarwa put this to the attention of the fight supervisor Celestine Mindra ( The President of the Uganda Commission ).
Funny the fight supervisor insisted that they must fight 8 rounds and kept announcing so despite my protest
.I left my corner to find the promoter Eddie Bazira. whom I found and told him that we are not accepting an 8 round bout . The promoter said that he was going to sort it out with the supervisor.
[2] KNOCK OUT
I do not think the Uganda boxing commission does not know the difference between a KO and a TKO. The two boxers were just gaming against a staked deck .
I have email the Secreatary General of the Uganda boxing commission Simon Katongole <[email protected]>, but I do not think they are going to correct this.

I guess Scottmalon was right
Happy New Year
