Mandaue City- Dodie Boy Pe?alosa,Jr kept his winning streak going as he easily disposed of Kong Kiatpracha Gym of Thailand in three rounds. Pe?alosa chased the elusive Thai Tornado from the opening bell landing hooks to the body and head. In the third, Pe?alosa?s flurry punctuated by a hard right hook to the ribs hurt the pinned Kiatpracha for the first knockdown of the fight. The Thai stood up but Pe?alosa continued his pressure sending Kiatpracha down two more times prompting the stoppage. Official time ? 2:16.
Pe?alosa scored his sixth win, six by knockout, and beat his first foreign opponent. Kiatpracha Gym suffered his ninth career loss with five wins and a draw.
Rodel Mayol beat Jayson Rotoni by a lopsided unanimous decision. Mayol hurt Rotoni in the first two rounds but the homecoming fight of ?Batang Mandaue? was almost spoiled when Rotoni stunned Mayol with a left hook.
Mayol almost went down but quickly recovered and punished Rotoni in the subsequent rounds. Rotoni went into survival mode as he moved around the ring with Mayol trying to score a knockout but Rotoni managed to hear the final bell. The scores ? 98-92, 98-92 and 99-91.This fight was the final bout of the Laban ng Lahi:Dugong Kampeon fight card held Saturday at the Mandaue Sports Complex.
