International referee Bruce McTavish told us he stopped the bout in the 6th round after Giemel ?threw around 20 unanswered punches against the game, equally hard-hitting Buca who engaged Magramo in a fierce give-and-take brawl in the first and second rounds with Magramo clearly the superior fighter, technically.
With the win Magramo, son of former champion Melvin Magramo improved his record to 15-0 with 12 knockouts. Magramo was coming off a 4th round TKO victory over journeyman Roilo Golez in a scheduled ten round bout last September 12.
Magramo, a stylish fighter with a powerful right hand didn?t have an easy fight against Buca. The 21 year old with a record of 10 knockouts in 10 wins with 2 defeats.
Buca is coming off a 2nd round knockout win over Michael Padayag in a six round bout last September 26 after he was forced to retire with a broken nose in a title fight against Ardin Diale who recently won the OPBF title.
