LITO “Brave Heart” Badenas of Manila came back from an early knock down in the 10th round to knock out undefeated Ongen Saknosiwi of Indonesia last November 22 at the Gedung Tennis Indoor Jakarta in Jakarta.
After an early knockdown, Badenas stood up to down Saknosiwiat three times on the same round for the knockout.
Badenas was again hit by Saknosiwi on the face by a punch.
But he kept on throwing his punches to hit Saknosiwi with a left straight for the first knockdown.
Badenas resumed his attack on Saknosiwi, who kept on back pedaling until he was down again.
The Indon was down but was not counted until Saknosiwi was again counted by his second knockdown.
Badenas kept on chasing Saknosiwi, who was down for the third and final knockdown.
Badenas now has eight wins with seven knockouts, two loses and one draw while Saknosiwi suffered his first setback after 14 wins with 11 knockouts.
