DAVAO CITY -- FORMER IBO super flyweight champion Edrin Dapudong of the Philippines lived up to his monicker as ?The Sting? by landing stinging blows to score a fifth round technical knockout against Wisanlek Sithsaithong of Thailand.
Dapudong dominated the fight in the first three rounds with his sharp punches but slowed down in the fourth round during their close exchange.
Dapudong, however, resumed his relentless attack with left-right combinations against a helpless Sithsaithong that forced referee Bruce McTavish to stop the Filipino pug from further inflicting total damage to the Thai in 2:56 of the 5th round.
Dapudong's impressive win was a tune-up for his scheduled rematch for the IBO world title fight.
