Gasanov.
CHONGQING, CHINA ? Russian Gasan Gasanov beat the hometown favorite Qu Peng of China and collected two regional belts ? the WBO Asia Pacific and WBA Asia light heavyweight titles.
After a feeling out opening round, Gasanov became the aggressor and sent Qu on the backfoot with a hard head shot. Qu seemed sluggish for most of the fight and Gasanov easily overcame his height disadvantage.
Qu?s right hand did land on a few occasions but it was Gasanov who landed the more telling blows all night long.
The judges scores ? Sungworn Klungboonkrung (Thailand) ? 98-92, Mekin Sumon (Thailand) ? 96-94, Zhao Yanfang (China) ? 98-92.
Qu drops to his second loss at 12W-2L-1D,8KO?s while Gasanov improves to 15W-5L-1D, 2KO?s.
Supervising for the WBO was Asia Pacific VP Leon Panoncillo while Prommase Jaksurak represented the WBA.

Fu drops to 6-1,1KO, Yang is now 8-0,6KO?s.

Abulimiti drops to his second loss at 4-2-1,3KO?s while Dong is now 10-0-1,6KO?s.
