The Philippines' Rocky Fuentes did his best, applied pressure all day, and looked in extreme physical conditioning, but those were not enough to win the IBF flyweight title, losing on a unanimous decision to Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng in Korat, Thailand minutes ago.
This was Fuentes' first try at a world title try.
Scores were 117-111, 116-112, 116-112, in favor of the Thai who was on his bicycle most of the fight.
