Canillas.
Arjan "Spartan" Canillas has scored a stunning, lopsided ten round decision over Philippine lightweight champion Rey Labao at a fight card held in the Davao Civic Center, yesterday.
Canillas was dropped in the 2nd round but got off the canvas to hammer the veteran Labao with all three judges scoring the bout for the 22 year old Canillas who is ranked No. 3 by the Games and Amusements Board.
Arnie Najera had Canillas ahead 97-92, Teddy Alivio 96-93 and Edwin Barrientos 98-91.
With the win Canillas improved to 12-0-2 with 9 knockouts while Labao drops to 27-8 with 18 knockouts.
Canillas was coming off two noteworthy stoppage wins this year having forced Balweg Bangoyan to retire in the 4th round of a scheduled ten round bout on June 6 and earlier scoring a 4th round knockout of Indonesia?s Stevie Ferdinandus in a scheduled eight round b out last February 7.
Labao, on the other hand, dropped a unanimous twelve round decision in an IBO Intercontinental welterweight title bout against Rico Mueller last June 12 in Germany after registering a 2nd round TKO over Japan?s Masao Nakamura in Osaka last December 12, 2014.
