PARANAQUE CITY--Dennis Laurente of the Philippines retained his Pan Asian Boxing Association (PABA) lightweight crown with a 12th-round technical knockout win over interim champ Hero Katili last night at the Elorde Sports Center's Flash Grand Ballroom here.
Laurente was dominant all throughout, and capped the show with a big left that sent Katili down for the count, prompting his corner to ask the referee to sto the bout at 2:02 of the final round.
In the chief support, RP featherweight boss Vinvin Rufino retained his crown with a tenth round unanimous technical decision verdict over challenger Victor Man-on.
