Former world champion Moises Fuentes who lost by a crushing 9th round TKO to WBO light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 10, 2014, has made a strong comeback against another former world champion Oswaldo Novoa.
Fuentes won by a 6th round knockout to grab the vacant WBO North American Boxing Organization flyweight crown.
He dropped Novoa in the opening round but was penalized a point for a low blow in round six which appeared to anger him as Fuentes retaliated with a vicious body shot that dropped Novoa who failed to beat the count.
The time was 2:02 of the round.
With the win Fuentes improves to 22-2-1 with 12 knockouts while Novoa drops to 14-6-2 with 9 knockouts.
