The bout was fought mostly from behind jabs, with few significant punches landing, and by the time the fifth round started Kadri needed to try something different.
And he did, landing with a single right hand to the head that scrambled Hobyana’s senses.
He didn’t go down, but he turned and held onto the ropes to himself from toppling over, but in the process he was defenceless as Kadri prepared to pounce and referee David van Nieuwenhuizen stepped in to call an excellent stoppage.
Not only was Hobyana at risk of getting seriously hurt, but the rules forbid boxers from holding onto the ropes.
Kadri is now 9-0 while Hobyana is 3-6-1.
The Boxing 5 tournament also featured two Jewish fighters on the same bill that records suggest was the first time since 1948 in this country. There seem to have been a lot more Jewish promoters than boxers since then.
Junior-middleweight Josh Feldman made quick work of Brian Shakoane, stopping him in the first round to take his record to 5-0.
Debutant Doron Zinman, short even for a featherweight, showcased an exciting attacking style as he lived up to his Buzzsaw moniker to score an entertaining four-round points win over Maibulele Mjoli.
