Cebu City ? Jose Ocampo scored a brutal 4th round technical knockout win over Weng Haya in their battle for the interim WBO Asia-Pacific jr.lightweight title Sunday night at the Cebu Coliseum. In the opening round, a clash of heads inflicted a cut on the top of Haya?s forehead and a small cut on Ocampo?s eyebrow. This ignited a series of furious exchanges for the next couple of rounds.
The southpaw Ocampo fired one powerful volley after another and knocked Haya down twice in the third. He continued his furious assault and Haya was reeling at the end of the round.
In between rounds, Referee Danrex Tapdasan called ring physician Dr. Jose Unabia to check on Haya in his corner.
Haya answered the bell for the 4th round but a stunning left cross sent him again prompting the stoppage at the 2:26 mark.
