Rey Labao has been beaten by Australia?s Will Tomlinson in a battle for the WBO Oriental super featherweight interim title and the WBO Asia Pacific crown in a fight card at the Melbourne Pavilion in Flemington, Victoria over the weekend.
The undefeated 24 year old ?Wild Will? Tomlinson won by a unanimous twelve round decision to improve his record to 15-0-1 with 11 knockouts. He had previously beaten four Sydney-based Filipino boxers and was coming off an 8th round TKO victory over Elly Ray for the Oriental interim title last August 20.
Tomlinson won the vacant IBO Intercontinental super featherweight title beating Oscar Bravo of Chile last April 14.
All three judges had the Australian a comfortable winner. Henry Nissen scored it a shutout 120-108 while judges Andrew Campbell and Aneeka Williams turned in identical 119-109 scorecards in favor of Tomlinson.
The 25 year old southpaw Labao who won a ten round unanimous decision in Tanza, Cavite over Jaypee Ignacio last August dropped to 19=3 with 13 knockouts following the loss to Tomlinson.
