Just a few minutes ago, ALA Boy Along Denoy took the WBO Asia Pacific light-flyweight crown with a shock fifth-round technical knockout victory over Kaichon Sor Vorapin in Thailand.
WBO Asia Pacific chairman Leon Panoncillo, in a long-distance interview, reported that Denoy stopped Vorapin at the 2:40 mark of the fifth round to snatch the title away from Vorapin.
Denoy drew first blood early, knocking down Vorapin in the second round. The Filipino fighter continued dominating, again knocking down Vorapin twice in the fourth stanza.
After scoring yet another two knockdowns against Vorapin in the fifth, the fight had to be stopped.
Another Filipino, Eduardo Apaap, was not as lucky after he was stopped in the second round by Sod Looknoyangtoy for the WBO Asia Pacific superbantam title.
