Raymond Tabugon of the Sanman returned to Mexico to face world ranked Luis “Pantera” Nery in Chiapas December 17. In the opening round, Tabugon was cornered and receiving a hard volley when a right counter sent Nery down.
The southpaw Nery got up and employed a more measured approach in the second. But near the end of the round, Tabugon was on the verge of hitting the canvas. Nery continued to dish out hellish punishment and in the fourth, Tabugon was once again pinned and receiving successive blows making the referee decide that he had seen enough.
Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil sent his thoughts on the fight to philboxing and stated that this was the first knockdown of Nery’s career. Tabugon suffered his second loss in Mexico this year. Last October, he lost to former WBO/WBA flyweight champ Juan Francisco Estrada by unanimous verdict.
Nery goes up to 22-0,16KO’s while Tabugon drops to his seventh loss at 18-7-1,8KO’s.
