Jafaru had early success. In the second round, he cornered Kiwitt and took him down in the opening minute, then capped the round with Kiwitt as the bell rang. The third followed a similar pattern, with Jafaru pushing Kiwitt to the ropes and forcing him to work defensively for long stretches.
Kiwitt steadied the fight in the fourth, finding space and landing more consistently before Jafaru rallied again late. Momentum shifted back and forth through the middle rounds. Jafaru outscored Kiwitt in the fifth and much of the sixth, but Kiwitt finished the sixth round strong, opening a nosebleed on Jafaru just before the bell.
From the seventh, Kiwitt’s control became more consistent. He kept Jafaru on the defensive in seventh and had a competitive ninth that featured action from both men. Jafaru briefly regained ground in the tenth, pushing Kiwitt to the ropes and landing enough to take the round, but the closing frames swung back to the champion.
Kiwitt pressed the action in the eleventh and finished the twelfth with the cleaner work as Jafaru showed visible damage, bleeding from the nose and mouth at the end. The decision went to Kiwitt after twelve rounds.
