SOUTHPAW Arvin “Hurricane” Magramo of Paranaque City scored a 3rd round knockout over Jonathan “Hard Worker” Refugio of Malaybalay to retain his World Boxing Organization Oriental light flyweight title last October 16 at the Elorde Sports Complex in Paranaque City.
Magramo hit a powerful right punch on Refugio's jaw followed by another right to stop the fight.
