DAPITAN CITY -- Dexter 'Dinamita' Delada won the Philippine lightweight title with a scary third-round technical knockout win over Christopher Saluday in the main event of the 'Double Trouble' card here last night.
After absorbing a series of big lefts, Saluday turned his back midway in the third as a sign of capitulation following the heavy bombardments from Delada.

Saluday, however, proved to be a tough customer as he cut Delada early with a legit shot over the right eye, before the duo waged a breath-taking exchange of punches.
Saluday was downed by a big left in the second round, and saw himself deducted twice following accidental headbutts that transformed Delada's face into a mess.
In the co-mainer, Wyndel Janiola took the PBF light-flyweight title with a majority decision over Davao's Philip Parcon.
