It was in rough action of round five that ref Jerrold Tomeldan administered the 10-second count to Mansubuang who was on the floor unable to get up. Official time of the effective KO was 1:51 in round five.
Eranio Semillano (C) won a tactical fight over Wilbert Berondo.

With the well-deserved win, Semillano retains his Filipino GAB Super Flyweight Belt and is ready for more.

In addition, super fly Powell Balaba of the paradise Island of Bohol won a close split-decision over Romshane Sarguilla, a fighter of the Lady C. Elorde Boxing Stable. Balaba was deducted a point in round three for an apparent intentional low-blow, nevertheless, he managed to narrowly win the 6-rounder.
