Chief Executive Officer of Ambition Boxing Promotion, Alhaji Tawfik says Ghanaian boxer Osumanu Adama�s defeat over the weekend was long overdue because he didn�t get any support from his countrymen and had poor preparation before going into the fight with Gennady Golovkin. �I was very disappointed for Osumanu Adama�s defeat to Gennady Golovkin in their WBA Middleweight contest,�he told Ghana Sports. �I believe Adama didn�t get the best preparation before going into this fight and he didn�t get any support from GBA [Ghana Boxing Authority] and Ghanaians.� Golovkin�s powerful left sent the Ghanaian challenger to the canvas at the end Round One and a quick left hook knocked Adama down in the sixth round, forcing an eight count, which left the referee with little options than to stop the fight. Golovkin successfully defended his belt for the tenth time, extending his record to 29-0 with 26KOs. The defeat was Adama�s fourth in his professional career.
