Orobio’s Second-Round Barrage Overwhelmed Ndongeni
Jhon Orobio stopped Xolisani Ndongeni in the second round on November 13, 2025, at Cabaret du Casino in Montreal. Two knockdowns secured the Colombian prospect’s technical knockout victory and a successful defense of his WBC Continental Americas super lightweight title.
The unbeaten prospect received his first co-main-event assignment
Orobio entered the Montreal card with fifteen victories and thirteen knockouts. The assignment against the experienced South African gave him a prominent position beneath Steven Butler’s main event against Stephane Fondjo.
Originally from Cali and based in Montreal, Orobio was defending a regional championship. Ndongeni brought thirty-three professional victories and the experience of a former IBO lightweight champion into the matchup.
Short hooks and right hands quickly broke the resistance
Orobio’s attacking combinations drove Ndongeni backward in the second round. A damaging sequence near the ropes produced the first knockdown, leaving the veteran needing to recover under immediate pressure.
Ndongeni beat the count, but Orobio resumed attacking and landed another heavy right. The second knockdown left the challenger badly shaken, prompting the referee to stop the contest.
The title defense extended Orobio’s unbeaten professional start
Orobio improved to 16–0 with fourteen knockout victories. Ndongeni fell to 33–8 with nineteen knockouts after suffering the earliest stoppage defeat of his professional career.
The result added a seasoned opponent to Orobio’s record without requiring the young contender to go deep into the scheduled contest. His regional belt remained in place after a performance defined by the speed and accuracy of his finishing combinations.
