In a lopsided but entertaining battle, world-rated Filipino 112-pounder Jether "The General" Oliva (22-2-2, 10 KO's) dominated tough Indonesian journeyman Jemmy "Boom Boom" Gobel over ten rounds to claim the blue/golden World Boxing Federation (WBF) Asia Pacific Flyweight belt on Sunday (Oct 5) at Glan Municipal Gym in Sarangani, Philippines.
With the win, the 27-year-old General Santos City fighter keeps his WBA world-ranking as well as the possibility for a rematch with South African IBO world champ Moruthi Mthalane or a clash against any of the WBF or WBA world titlist.
"We want a rematch against Mthalane. He knows that Oliva beat him last March in South Africa. Let's fight again," commented Jim Claude Manangquil, Oliva's manager.
