Dodie Boy Pe?alosa Jr. did a quick job in disposing Thai opponent Superjames Singmanasak as he sent him to the canvas with a quick left hook and finishing him off with a left straight in the very first round. The undefeated Pe?alosa showcased his power and speed as he circled around his opponent before releasing his power shots. He improves his record to W8 KO8 L0 D0.
In the co-featured bout, Marvin Mabait snatched the Philippine GAB Superflyweight Championship Belt from defending champion Rey Perez.
Mabait used his ring intelligence in outpointing the equally experienced Perez. The fighters had an accidental clash of heads in the mid rounds thus opening a not so serious cut on the head of Perez while another non-intentional head-butt in the later rounds opened a cut on the left eyebrow of Mabait. The Zamboanga native dominated almost all rounds of the fight gaining the nod of all judges and giving him a unanimous decision victory.
In another highlighted match-up, IBF Pan Pacific Flyweight Champion Sonny Boy Jaro knocked out Samuel Apuya midway in the very first round.
Jaro came in with strong wild hooks knocking down Apuya once before finishing him with a power left hook to the face throwing Apuya out of the ropes to the GAB table and prompting referee Virgilio Garcia to stop the fight. Jaro will now prepare for his WBC championship fight with Pongsaklek Wonjongkam of Thailand.
In a very exciting match up, flyweights Carlo Maquinto of Shape Up Boxing Gym traded an all out ring war against Jaro Stable Warrior Mark Joseph Costa. The boxers traded power shots absorbing each other?s punishment. Maquinto was knocked down twice in the first round bout recovered and engaged with the very game Costa. Costa was deducted one point for intentional spitting of mouth guard but went on bringing in Maquinto to his game. The crowd went wild in appreciation of the action packed fight up to the very last round. In the end, the judges scored it even with a Majority Draw.
In the undercard, Dave Pe?alosa showed much improvement from his debut fight as he showcased poise and new pack of power on the ring against Raymond Colambot of Caloocan. Dave showed excellent defense in evading the strong shots of Colambot while hitting his opponent with clean and sharp straights and uppercuts. A solid left uppercut to the chin caught Colambot for good in 0:28 of the second round giving Pe?alosa a new W2 KO1 L0 record.
In the other match-ups, Ren-Ren Tesorio versus Roy Albaera ended in a technical draw after Albaera suffered a deep cut caused by an accidental headbutt in the third round. Derek Rabang of Planet Jupiter Stable versus Gerald Cortez ended in a Majority Draw. Sonny Katiangdagho of Wakee Salud Stable knocked out Albert Gonzales of the Tiger City Gym in the third round.
Cebu City?s Raymond Empic won via unanimous decision against Jonathan Caguiran. Rex Tso of Hong Kong dominated Mabert Paulino and took home a unanimous decision victory. Larry Abarra of Shape Up Boxing knocked out Llaminado Bismanos in the very first round. Jason Barleo won via unanimous decision against Gerry Pateno.
The Recom Dome in Amparo Subdivision, Brgy. 179, Caloocan City was jampacked and not a single seat was vacant. In attendance were Mayor Recom and RJ Echiverri, City Administrator Russel Ramirez, Brgy. Officials of the different Barangays of Caloocan and other City Officials. Also in the crowd were Congressman Erbie Fabian of Zamboanga and comedian Bayani Agbayani.
