pressure from Allotey.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghanaian came close to forcing a stoppage in the sixth round, while further attacks in the 10th and 11th rounds left the Argentine visibly wobbling.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia pushed forward in the final round in search of a knockout, but Allotey remained composed and successfully navigated the closing stages to secure the points victory.<\/p>\n<p>The win puts Allotey in line for a potential shot at the WBA Super Flyweight world title, following his victory at the Osagyefo Fight Night held in honour of Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n<p
