PROMISING flyweight fighter Genesis Libranza of MP Davao Stable continued his winning form by stopping a more-experienced Renerio Arizala of Manila by a second round technical knockout in the main event of the Blow by Blow Reloaded held Saturday night at the Panabo covered court in Panabo City.
The 22-year old Libranza bombarded Arizala with left-right combinations near the ropes before landing a solid right followed by a left hook to end the fight in 2:59 of the second round.
Libranza remained undefeated with nine straight wins with six knockouts while Arizala dropped to 13-3-1 win-loss-draw record.
Arizala, who also suffered a deep cut on his left eye, was downed on his knees and was immediately helped by his trainer Jonathan Penalosa.
?This was a good test for Libranza because Arizala was a more experienced fighter. He just arrived from Japan to be a sparring partner of a world champion,? said TV producer Manny Pinol.
Arizala, a former Luzproba flyweight champion, recently stayed for three weeks in Japan to spar with current WBO junior bantamweight and former WBC light flyweight champion Naoya ?The Monster? Inoue (8-0-0), who is set to defend his title against another Filipino Warlito Parrenas on Dec. 29 in Tokyo.
?Malaki ang improvement ni Libranza. Kailangan pa niya ng tatlo pang magandang laban bago siya isasabak natin sa championship,? said MP Davao Stable head trainer Raides ?Nonoy? Neri.
It was only Libranza?s second fight in 10 rounds. In his first tenner, Libranza slowed down already going to the final four rounds but still won by a unanimous decision against Michael Rodriguez last September 6 in General Santos City.
In the main supporting bout, former IBF Pan Pacific flyweight champion Ryan Rey Ponteras of Agusan del Sur showed his ring experience in stopping Margarito Moya of Cebu City by a technical knockout in 2:49 of the 10th round.
?Matibay pa rin si Ponteras dahil kahit na tinatamaan na siya pero sige pa rin siya sugod ng sugod kay Moya,? said Ponteras? former trainer Bruce Lerio.
Ponteras, 25 now has 14 wins against 11 loses and 1 draw while 20-year old Moya dropped to 8-2-0.
The other tenner saw Orly Silvestre of MP Davao knocked out Allan Doronilla of Bukidnon in 1:49 of the first round.
The other results:
Marvilo Aballe won over John Rey Logatiman by unanimous decision; Elias Joaquino won against Aries Buenavides by a majority decision; Rene Mark Cuarto won against Jerome Clavite by unanimous decision; Michael Bravo knocked out Rolley Bersabal in the second round (32 seconds); Jelo Bacalso settled with Clarito Antaran Jr. in a majority draw;
