Boxing fans at Sweet Science Season 6 were treated to one of the most exciting contests of the year as Kabona Medi edged past Ken Da Mexco via Split Decision (SD) in a fiercely contested battle that had the crowd on its feet from the opening bell to the final round.
The fight, which took place last weekend under the Nara Promotionz banner, lived up to expectations as both fighters engaged in a relentless toe-to-toe war. Neither boxer was willing to take a backward step, exchanging powerful combinations and entertaining the fans throughout the contest.
When the final bell sounded, the judges were tasked with separating two fighters who had given everything inside the ring. After the scorecards were collected, Kabona Medi was declared the winner by a narrow four-point margin on the combined judges' cards, extending his unbeaten home record and adding another significant victory to his growing résumé.
The result, however, was not without controversy. Shortly after the fight, Ken Da Mexco publicly expressed his desire for an immediate rematch, believing that the closeness and competitiveness of the contest justified another meeting between the two rivals.
Despite Ken's call for a second fight, no rematch clause was included in the original fight contract. This means the decision now rests entirely in the hands of Kabona Medi and his management team.
Why A Rematch Could Be Needed
The Fight Was Extremely Close – The narrow scoring margin suggests there was little separating the two fighters. Another fight could provide a more conclusive outcome.
Fans Want To See It Again – The bout delivered non-stop action and quickly became one of the most talked-about fights of the event.
Ken Da Mexco Wants Redemption – Having come so close to victory, Ken believes he deserves another opportunity to prove himself.
A Potential Domestic Rivalry Is Born – Great rivalries help grow boxing, and the first encounter showed all the ingredients for a compelling second chapter.
Why Kabona Medi's Camp May Reject A Rematch
The Victory Was Earned – Kabona won according to the judges' scorecards and may feel there is nothing left to prove.
Bigger Opportunities Could Be Available – Another win has positioned him for potentially larger fights and tougher opponents.
Risk Versus Reward – A rematch could jeopardize his unbeaten home record while offering limited additional benefits.
No Contractual Obligation Exists – Since there was no rematch clause, Kabona's camp is free to pursue other options.
Writer's Opinion
The first fight was exactly the kind of contest that boxing fans love—competitive, action-packed, and difficult to score. While Kabona Medi deserved the victory awarded to him, Ken Da Mexco's performance was strong enough to justify calls for a rematch.
If both camps can agree on terms, a second fight could be even bigger than the first and may become one of Uganda's most anticipated boxing events. Until then, Kabona remains unbeaten at home, while the boxing community waits to see whether he will grant Ken Da Mexco another shot at victory
