The next two bouts were in the same weight class with Justin Trazo of Biasong beating Earl Nathaniel Abapo of San Roque via UD in a very entertaining, back-and-forth brawl, Bernard Robles of Tabunok also wins via UD over Christian Bajardo of Mohon.

Main offering of the tournament featured Keyt Nino Abatayo Bacalso of Lagtang, a Batang Pinoy National Championships silver medalist edged out fellow Batang Pinoy medalist Limbert Cainap of Biasong via UD in youth boys light pinweight.
Special awards were also handed out to outstanding performers of the tournament with Lagtang boxer Keyt Nino Abatayo Bacalso wining the "best boxer" accolade while "fight of the night" was awarded to bout number three with Justin Trazo and opponent Earl Nathaniel Abapo.
The Box-Offs series is a monthly amateur boxing tournament initiated by 10,000 BC Boxing Club and a grassroots boxing development program that aims to discover young boxers with talent and potential to make it big in the sport and in life. The driving force that helped conceptualised the idea of conducting the said tournament is "molding not just boxing champions but champions in real life".
