Reactions:
Titus ‘Hard Rock’ Tugume:
I respect the results and there isnt much I can do to change them now.
I think I scored far much better than Goloa. He (Golola) should learn to be a disciplined fighter.
Golola ‘Of Uganda’ Moses:
Haaaaleeeyalleha, I thank God for this victory.
I thank Rock Boooom and all my sponsors. I am not giving up.
I now want to advance in academics.
Tugume should continue training, he is an aggressive fighter.
Me, I will soon retire when I play a planned fight coming up. I thank my fans and promoters. Big up to my trainers and all the boxers and kick-boxers
