Bert Batawang knocked down Indonesia's Sofyan Efendi twice in the fourth round to score an impressive TKO win at the 2:12 mark.

Alex John Banal unleashed a big left to Thailand's Komrith Evereadygym to win by KO in the first round.
Jimrex 'The Executioner' Jaca stopped the very durable Indonesian Simson Butar-Butar to snatch the WBO Asia-Pacific superfeatherweight crown on a seventh-round knockout.
