JHUN Rick “Iron Fist” Carcedo of Davao City stopped Yesitati Yeerken of China in the 8th round to win the vacant WBA Asia South super welterweight title last night, February 9 at the Villa Kristen Resort & Hotel in General Santos City.
The 26-year-old Carcedo already damaged Yeerken’s right eye in the 7th round, forcing the referee to check it out.
