Taconing retains OPBF title in thriller, Magramo continues unbeaten run, Elorde Bros. get stoppages

9/13/2015

This past Saturday wasn't the busiest day in Asian boxing, but there was still plenty of action.



Metro Manila, Philippines

The biggest show in Asia came from Metro Manila where fans had the chance to see several prospects as well as a world class fighter defending a regional title.

The main event saw that world class fighter, namely Jonathan Taconing (22-2-1, 18) make his first defense of the OPBF Light Flyweight title as he out slugged Jomar Fajardo (14-9-2, 7) to claim a 10th round technical decision. The fight, an all out war, saw both men suffer cuts from head clashes which eventually caused the end of the bout, but had been a thriller until then. Fajardo, who made his name last year with a draw against Francisco Rodriguez Jr, was dropped in round 4 though showed real guts to continue fighting off Taconing. We're now hoping that Taconing ditches the OPBF belt and chases a world title fight, though the cuts he suffered here may keep him out of the ring for a while.

Whilst the main event was a brilliant match up the same couldn't be said of much of the card which generally featured some dire mismatches. One of those saw Juan Miguel Elorde (19-1, 10) blow away Arnold Mau (2-6, 3) inside a round. Another mismatch saw Elorde's older brother Juan Martin Elorde (18-1-1, 8) defeat Yakobus Heluka (8-13, 1) in 6 rounds.

It wasn't just the Elorde brothers picking up stoppage wins as the very promising Giemel Magramo (14-0, 11) did the same, stopping Roilo Golez (15-15-1, 6) in the third round. Golez was once a contender but a 3-9-1 record in his last 13 bouts says it all and he's now little more than a domestic level journeyman.

Another unbeaten fighter to pick up a win was 21 year old Jay Loto (10-0-1) who out-pointed Ryan Bajala (4-4-1, 2) over 8 rounds. Another 8 rounder saw Jeffrey Francisco (12-1-1, 1) take a decision over Jeson Berwela (4-20, 2).

In a 6 rounder Daffy Dempo (3-4, 2) scored a minor upset win over Kenta Ide (2-2-1, 1).

One other result from this card that we have was a a win for Robin Dingcong (1-3-1, 1) who scored his first win with a 3rd round KO against the debuting Jaime Escanaries (0-1)

Cebu, Philippines
Sadly we don't currently have the results from a show in Cebu.

Las Vegas, USA
On the biggest of the weekend fans of Asian did have something's to make a note of.

In an all-Asian bout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov (2-0, 1), from Uzbekistan, out pointed Farkhad Sharipov (4-5, 1), from Kyrgyzstan. This 6 rounder was a good test on paper for Rakhmanov but it was white was with all 3 judges scoring it 60-53 to the unbeaten 26 year old.

Another Asian on this card was Filipino youngster Recky Dulay (8-2, 5) who was taken out in 94 seconds by the talented and heavy handed Gervonta Davis (12-0, 11). Although the loss was a bad one for an Asian fighter we were genuinely impressed by Davis who looks like he has the tools to face much stiffer competition.

Rufino, Laurente and the Elorde bros all successful in title bouts

3/25/2015

Metro Manila, Philippines
The only show today came from the Philippines where Johnny Elorde Promotions put on a small, 6 fight show featuring 4 title bouts along side the Flash Elorde awards. The card wasn't a headline grabbing one with world title bouts but it was a significant one with bouts ranging from prospect bouts to an OPBF title bout and regional title contests.

The show kicked off with one of the prospects in action as the talented Joe Noynay (8-0, 2) continued his unbeaten run and scored a 3rd round TKO against journeyman Jovill Marayan (8-20-3, 3). The 19 year old Noynay dropped Marayan with a body shot and Marayan did get back to his feet the referee made the wise decision to stop the bout. Sadly for Marayan this was his 8th straight loss , dating back almost 2 years, and his 3rd successive stoppage loss.

The second bout saw the fantastic Giemel Magramo (13-0, 10) completely dismantle the over-matched Jayar Estremos (10-10, 4) who was blown away in the 2nd round. Magramo, who we really like, looked sensational and finished the bout in style as he recorded his 7th straight stoppage. Aged 20 Magramo has an excellent future ahead of him and we really can't wait to see him step up a level and move beyond the low level Filipino domestic bouts.

Talking about the Filipino domestic scene the third bout was actually a Filipino title bout which saw veteran fighter Monico Laurente (25-12, 6) retain his GAB Bantamweight tittle with a clear decision win over the once promising Marco Demecillo (20-3-1, 16) who is quickly finding his career hitting the bricks. The champion, defending the belt for the 3rd time, seemed to know too much and be too good for Demecillo, despite being cut from a headclash early in the bout. This was Demecillo's 3rd loss in 5 bouts and the 18-0-1 (14) start to his career has really crumbled in recent bouts.

The second title bout was one of two WBO Asia Pacific title bouts and saw Juan Miguel Elorde (18-1, 9) take a clear decision against limited Thailand's Tabthong Tor Buamas (14-3, 12) to claim the Super Bantamweight belt. Elorde was simply too good, too fast and too accurate for the Thai who was completely out classed from the first round to the last. Tabthong did well to see out the distance but was never in the fight.

A second WBO Asia Pacific title bout saw Juan Martin Elorde (17-1-1, 7) retain the Super Featherweight belt with a narrow win over Japan's Hirotsugu Yamamoto (16-11-2, 2). The Japanese fighter went in as a massive under-dog and early on it seemed like he was set to be blown away after Elorde dropped him in round 2. Surprisingly however Yamamoto battled back hard over the following 10 rounds and almost did enough to upset Elorde. Although talented Elorde does need a lot more work before moving on to the next level.

In the main event we saw another title bout as Vinvin Rufino (37-16-3, 16) claimed the OPBF Featherweight title with an 8th round technical decision win against Mark Gil Melligen (21-5-1, 12). Melligen was down twice early in the bout though managed to fight back well until a headclash saw us going to the cards at the end of round 8. Melligen's fight back had some how convinced one judge to score it even, at 75-75, though the other two judges both had Rufino as the clear, and rightful, winner. Whilst this is clearly a set back for Melligen it was third time lucky for Rufino who had lost in 2 previous OPBF title bouts.

Gradovich retains, Elorde blows away Indonesian, Magramo remains unbeaten...

11/30/2014

This past Saturday wasn't the busiest of the year but there was still plenty of action.

Nebraska, USA
In the US we had a high profile IBF Featherweight title fight which saw the “Mexican-Russian” Evgeny Gradovich (19-0-1, 9) retain his title with a highly questionable draw against Jayson Velez (22-0-1, 16). It appeared that Gradovich swept much of the bout after a good start by his Puerto Rican opponent though the judges managed to find a lot of rounds to give to Velez and as a result we got a split draw that few could actually understand.

Metro Manila, Philippines
On a small Johnny Elorde Promotions card fans saw a number of promising fighters in action and actually saw one genuine shock.

The main event wasn't the originally scheduled main event as Juan Martin Elorde saw his WBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight title fight being called off on the day of the fight. Instead the other Elorde, Juan Miguel Elorde (17-1, 9) main evented with his bout being pushed up the card. Sadly for fans wanting to see “The Boss” in an actual fight this was an awful main event as Elorde easily saw off Indonesian visitor Oke Haryanto (5-5-1, 2) inside a round.

One of the most promising Filipino fighters was in the chief support bout and actually scored a very impressive victory. That was Giemel Magramo (12-0, 9) who continued his unbeaten record as he scored an early win over Ruther del Castillo (9-21-8, 2). For the first time in his 38 fight Castillo was stopped, retiring from the bout.

Whilst it was a good day for Magramo it wasn't good for all the unbeaten fighters on the card with Jeffrey Francisco (10-1-1) suffering his first loss with Jestoni Autida (6-2, 2) scoring a shock majority decision. Another unbeaten fight to suffer his first loss was Ryan Bajala (3-1-1, 1) whose loss was expected as he came up short against the light puncher Jay Loto (9-0). Yet another unbeaten man in action was Joe Noynay (7-0, 1) who took a decision over Pablito Canada (4-5-1, 1).

Lower down the card Raymond Yanong (3-1, 3) over-came the limited Avelino Ramos (3-5) with Ramos retiring from the bout.

Queensland, Australia
In Australia we sadly saw an Asian trio come up short.

One of those was Thailand's limited Paitoon Jaikom (1-11) who was dropped by Darren Askew (13-6-1, 4) en route to a clear loss. The bout, scored 40-35 across the board, really was one sided and again showed up how poor some of the Thai's fighting in Australia are.

A second Thai on this show, Pramool Boonpok (1-9-1) gave a much better account of himself as he ran Liam Hutchinson (9-1, 4) close in a bout for the Queensland state Middleweight title. Again the Thai came up short but was competitive for the most part.

The third Asian was John Bajawa (12-8, 6), of Indonesia, who was near enough shut out by local fighter Brad Hore (4-1). This was awful from Bajawa though it was surprising to see him go the distance given the fact he had been stopped 4 times prior to this bout, including a 1 round blow out to Ryo Matsumoto.

Amazingly busy day in Asia sees numerous notable fights with Eto, Kubo, Parrenas, Watanabe...

8/23/2014

It's been a whilst since we had some fights though this past Friday was chock-a-block with fights taking place through out Asia. The day had cards in Thailand, the Philippines and Japan and gave us a share of shocks, blowouts, predictability and excitement reminding us why we all love boxing, even in it's down periods. 

Tokyo, Japan
For us the most notable of the shows was the reason promoted show at the Korakuen Hall that featured a trio of notable match ups alongside 7 lesser fights. The card wasn't an amazing one but was notable and significant on the Japanese and Asian boxing scene due to the main trio.

The first of that significant trio was Taiki Eto (13-3, 10) who bounced back from his loss last time out to Yohei Tobe and simple destroyed Brukluk Kor Narong Service (0-2) in just 2 rounds. Whilst Eto was stopped in a Japanese title fight by Tobe it's interesting to note that Brukluk's only previous fight was a loss to current Japanese champion Sho Ishida who, just like Eto, stopped the Thai in 2 rounds.

The second of the significant bouts also ended in the second round as the heavy handed former Japanese, OPBF and PABA champion Akinori Watanabe (31-4, 27) easily took out Thailand's Chatchai Sithsaithong (8-4, 6). This bout was Watanabe's return to the ring after a 9 month break though it's obvious from this performance that he still has enough to compete at title level.

In the main event Super Featherweight hopeful Shingo Eto (14-2-1, 9) made light work of Arnon Sithsaithong (0-1) who was stopped inside a round. After the fight it was announced that Eto would be fighting Japanese champion Rikki Naito in October in what looks almost certain to be a fantastic bout.

Whilst the main trio of bouts went a combined 5 rounds it's worth noting that the 7 undercard bouts also all ended early, in fact those 7 bouts went a combined 13 rounds!

The quickest of those undercard bouts saw the debuting Tsubasa Koura (1-0, 1) score a notable opening round blow victory against Naoki Morooka (2-1, 2). Aged just 19 Koura may be worth keeping an eye on desite his bout here only last 142 seconds. The only other opening round victory scored on this undercard was by Daichi Yamamoto (1-2-1, 1) who took just 25 seconds longer than Koura to score his victory. For Yamanoto he got his maiden victory with a KO over the still win-less Kazuma Fukino (0-3).

Of the 7 undercard bouts 4 went into the second round. The quickest of those 2 round bouts saw Shunsuke Mori (1-2, 1) scoring a stoppage 28 seconds into the round as he punished Takuya Sagehashi (0-1). It took Ryotaro Tokusa (1-0, 1) a further 20 seconds, 48 seconds of round 2, to take out his debut foe Hiroshi Higuchi (0-1) in an all debutant bout. Another debutant who suffered a set back was Kaiki Oshira (0-1) who was beaten by Hokuto Kawana (3-0, 2) at the 2:22 mark of round 2.

The other man who scored a second round KO was 19 year old Daigo Higa (2-0, 2) who were impressed by on his debut. Higa made light work of Thai visitor Rotthang Wor Por Srisaket (0-3) who was stopped at the 2:40 mark of the second round.

The only bout on the entire show to go beyond 2 rounds saw Kazumichi Ishizawa (3-4, 1) taking a 3rd round stoppage victory over Motonobu Suzuki (2-5). On paper this was one of, if not the, most evenly matched bout but even that didn't help it go the distance.

Hyogo, Japan
At the Kobe Central Gym there was a small but very notable show courtesy of Shinsei Gym. The card featured just 6 bouts though a number of them were fought as part of a small Japan Vs Philippines event. 

The show opened with a 4 rounder between Koichi Sumiya (0-1-1) and Yuki Arakawa (0-1-1) that ended in a split decision draw. The only other "under-card" bout saw Ryo Kosaka (8-3-1, 4) taking a second round KO over Monkey Shuhei (5-5-1, 2) in a scheduled 6 rounder.

The first of of the main bouts was a win for the Philippines as as the battle hardened and experienced Roque Lauro (11-16-4, 2) took a split decision over Japanese teenager Ryuya Yamanaka (7-2, 2). On paper this was a mismatch though delving below just the raw records suggests that Lauro is a very capable foe and has been in with a relative who's who whilst fighting well above his natural weight. With wins over Joan Imperial, Ronelle Ferreras and Myung Goo Yuh we'll suggest that Lauro is one of those potential banana skins, as Yamanaka found out here.

The second bout was another win for the Philippines as former OPBF title challenger Jhunriel Ramonal (14-7-4, 7) took a narrow split decision over Kota Fukuoka (15-5-2, 12). Ramonal had been stopped, in 3 rounds by Shingo Wake, last time he was in Japan though appears to have found that his level here with this win, a great result given that he had been stopped in his 2 previous bouts.

The Philippines made it 3-0 as the criminally under-rated Renoel Pael (14-1-1, 5) scored a dominant decision over the heavy handed Yuki Yonaha (3-2, 3). This bout wasn't even close and there was no debating the winner here as Pael put on a masterclass against a man who looked out of his depth. We'd suggest keeping an eye Pael as he appears to have plenty of skills and has no fear fighting on foreign soil, in fact his best performance came in Thailand against Noknoi Sitthiprasert just 6 months ago, the judges gave that to Noknoi though Pael really did deserve the win.

The only win for Japan came in somewhat disappointing circumstances as the the highly regarded Shun Kubo (5-0, 4) defeated Renren Pasignahin (6-4-1, 2) with a 4th round TKO. From what we understand the Filipino suffered a nasty injury that forced him to suffer his first stoppage defeat. In saying that we do suspect that Kubo would have won regardless of the injury but it is still a disappointment from the all involved. Pasignahin was robbed of his chance to compete after less than 4 rounder and Kubo was robbed of a "clean" win, a real shame.

Makati City, Philippines
As well as the action in Japan we also had two cards in the Philippines. 

At the bottom of this card was a number of novices, including the debuting Mark Angelo Plana (1-0) who successfully kicked off his professional campaign with a clear decision over fellow debutant Lordy Pateno (0-1) in a 4 round. The Plana/Pateno bout was one of two 4 rounders with the other one being won by female hopeful Naome Tacda (2-0, 2) who defeated Aisah Alico (5-4, 4) in the second round. In the sole 6 rounder Jonathan Dela Cruz (5-0, 2) recorded a second round KO against the usually durable Jomar Borbon (4-19-2, 2). 

The bulk of the show's contests were 8 rounders and these featured the show's most competitive bouts. The compeititve contests featured a surprising split draw for Ronelle Ferreras (14-7-3, 6) with JC Francisco (6-8-3, 2), a further shot to Ferreras's career which has really taken hit after hit this year, and also a split decision win for Eric Panza (6-2-1, 1) who narrowly over-came Pablito Canada (4-4-1, 1) in a very close contest.

In less competitive contests we saw a pair of stoppages for Japanese fighters. The less significant of those bouts saw Ryuta Wakamatsu (10-10, 7) stopping Aroel Romasasa (11-7, 5) in the second round in a slight upset. The other bout shocked no-one as Momoko Kanda (7-6-2, 1) stopped Nongnun Mor Krungthepthonburi (2-3) in 4 rounds and claimed the WBC Asian Boxing Council female Minimumweight title. This was the second bout between Kanda and Nongnun, the first time they met Kanda took a decision over 6 rounds but this time it seems she was fighting with real confidence and forced the stoppage of her Thai opponent.

The card featured a pair of 10 rounders but neither of them was even close to being competitive. One of them saw popular world ranked power puncher Warlito Parrenas (21-6, 18) completely dismantling Richard Garcia (25-20-1, 7) in the third round. Parrenas, one of the hardest puncher in the Super Flyweight division, broke apart Garcia with body shots in the third round and left Danrex Tapdasan with no option but to stop the contest. The other 10 rounder lasted a mere 36 seconds as Rey Juntilla (18-5-3, 11) detonated a body shot on Cris Leon (7-11-4, 3) who failed to recover. 

Sadly the main event was equally as one sided with Richard Claveras (9-0-2, 9) defending his WBC Asian Boxing Council Light Flyweight title with an opening round KO against Thailand's Sangthong Chor Pakdee (4-1, 4). We expected this to be explosive, but we didn't think it was going to be over quite so quickly.

Metro Manila, Philippines
The second Filipino show took place in Metro Manila at the The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex and proved to relatively full of mismatches.

The card opened with a pair of 4 rounders, both won by men who went into the bouts as unbeaten. These saw Robin Langres (2-0, 1) take a 4th round TKO over Jonathan Pedrosa (0-6-1) and Jetlee Formentera (2-0, 1) take an opening round blow out victory against Roberto Mendano (0-2). 

Although the opening contests didn't last long the pair of 6 rounders both went the scheduled. These saw Wilbert Berondo (4-0, 2) score a near sut out over Roy Albaera (2-24-5) whilst the once beaten Diomel Diocos (4-1-2, 2) took a majority decision over Vincent Bautista (1-2-1). Strangely the Diocos/Bautista bout was scored 59-54 by two judges whilst the third had contest level at 57-57. The final "undercard" bout was the sole 8 rounder which saw Jeffrey Francisco (10-0-1) extending his unbeaten run with a clear decision over domestic journeyman Jeson Berwela (4-17, 2).

The bulk of the card was the trio of 10 rounders. The first of those saw Giemel Magramo (11-0, 8) taking and early and easy win over over the experienced but limited Jovel Romasasa (10-20, 4). Romasasa retired at the end of the 2nd round giving Magramo his 11th win though hopefully he will be matched more competitively next time out. Sadly much of the top bouts here were uncompetitive and in Featherweight action Juan Miguel Elorde (16-1, 8) took a 5th round TKO over Paulus Baransano (0-4). Juan Miguel Elorde wasn't the only member of the Elorde family to score a win as his brother, Juan Martin Elorde (16-1-1, 7), defeated Juniston Simbolon (7-12-1, 3) via a 6th round technical decision. At the end of the bout Elorde was bloody from an accidental headbutt hence going to the cards early. Both of the Elorde's were facing Indonesian foes.

The main event saw another easy win for a Filipino against an Indonesian as Dennis Laurente (48-5-5, 29) stopped the very limited Elly Pangaribuan (3-4, 1). This was Pangaribuan's second successive second round stoppage following on from his defeat to Nobuhiro Ishida just over a year ago.

Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
In Thailand we saw PABA Featherweight champion Thong Sithluangphophun (10-0, 7) defend his title with a 3rd round KO against Indonesian challenger Yakobus Heluka (7-8). For Heluka this was a 4th straight loss and it seems like he's generally just getting in the ring to lose right now, a real shame. The ended for this one was a bit on the nasty side from Thong though it does appear that Heluka decided that he didn't want to continue.

Quebec, Canada
In Canada fans got to see the heavy handed and very promising Artur Beterbiev (5-0, 5) take a very quick win over the over-matched Alvaro Enriquez (12-13-2, 4) in what was clearly a stay busy fight after spending 7 months out of the ring. We now expect to see Beterbiev facing former world champion Tavoris Cloud in September in what looks to be a genuinely fantastic bout.

Ota falls short in the US whilst Magramo scores impressive victory at home

5/25/2014

Some days are great for Asian boxing, others aren't. Sadly we tend to feel that this past Saturday wasn't one of the best, despite a high profile bout for friend of the site.

Quebec, Canada
The aforementioned "friend of the site" was Japanese based American Charlie Ota (24-2-1, 16) was unfortunately defeated by the highly touted American Jermell Charlo (24-0, 11) though did manage to give a decent account of himself. Ota was significantly smaller than Charlo and had to find a way to cope with a huge reach advantage, unfortunately his solution was a somewhat predictable bull rush. Despite the issues with the reach and height of Charlo there was some great success for Ota who dropped Charlo in round 3, albeit with just a flash knockdown. By the final bell however Charlo was the clear winner though was less than impressive.

Metro Manila, Philippines
In Metro Manilla Johnny Elorde Promotions put on a small show involving some of his prospects. This included the promising Giemel Magramo (10-0, 7) who scored a very impressive stoppage over the usually tough Pit Anacaya (8-24-2, 1). Anacaya had been stopped just 6 times in his previous 33 fights though it took Magramo just 3 rounds to land a fight ending body shot.

Magramo wasn't the only man to find the body on this show as Rene Patilano (11-1-2, 6) used his body attack to take out Ricky Oyan (4-20-2, 2) in the 5th round. This was arguably the best win of Patilano's career and although Oyan is just a journeyman it's the sort of result that will give the once beaten prospect a bit of a confidence booster.

The only other stoppage came very early on the card as the unbeaten Wilbert Berondo (3-0, 2) took out the debuting Brendo Bokingkito (0-1) in just 105 seconds. Aged 18 we have no big issue wit Berondo taking his time to get going but we're lead to believe that kid does have a lot of talent and if developed right he could be one to look out for down the line.

The highest profile bout to go the distance saw  the unbeaten Jay Loto (8-0) come through a few struggles en route to scoring his 8th straight decision victory. Sadly for Loto his lack of power did make things very difficult against Lester Abutan (5-2-2, 2) and we'd not be shocked if the 20 year old Loto fails to move beyond Filipino domestic level, unless he can add some meat to his shots.

The other decision bouts on the show were both incredibly close. In a 4 rounder Jetlee Formentera (1-0) narrowly over-came fellow debutant Eric Apolinario (0-1) in a 4 majority decision, whilst in a 6 rounder Diomel Diocos (3-1-2, 2) claimed his first decision win by narrowly out pointing Ryan Medes (1-2-1).

Cotabato del Sur, Philippines
Filipino fans got a second domestic card courtesy of Jim Claude Manangquil and Dexter T. Tan who had a show featuring 5 bouts, including 2 title bouts.

The main event here saw Raymond Tabugon (13-3-1, 5) claim the WBC Asia Council Continental Flyweight title courtesy of a decision over the previously unbeaten Jake Bornea (6-1, 3). Bornea was dropped in round 2 and although he tried to get back into the bout he never able to over come the experience edge Tabugon had.

The co-feature, and another title fight, saw former world title challenger Jether Oliva (21-2-2, 10) take a majority decision over the tough, though limited, Wilber Andogan (10-15-4, 4) in a bout that saw Oliva claim the WBF International Light Flyweight title.Although the bout was scored a majority decision in favour of Oliva only one of the 3 judges had the bout even close.

In an impressive performance on the under-card John Vincent Moralde (9-0, 5) forced a 2nd round KO over the limited and light hitting Rolando Omela (5-10-3, 1). Moralde's victory was one of two stoppages on the under-card with Jelbirt Gomera (4-0, 4) continuing the perfect start to his record with a 6th round KO against Jordan Catubay (6-3-1, 3).

The only other bout on this card saw Virgel de Goma (2-1) claim a 6 round decision over the tough Renante Suacasa (6-11, 1).

Queensland, Australia
"Down under" things went badly for Asian fighters with 4 separate Asian's losing to Australians. 

The most disappointing of the Asian's in action in Queensland was the opening round defeat of Thailand's Pramool Boonpok (0-6) who was stopped by the debuting Kolby Johnston (1-0, 1). Pramool had been dropped prior to the knockout and really looks like a man who should be looking for another line of work as boxing doesn't seem to be good for him or his health.

A Thai who put up a better effort was Arnon Yuchareon (0-2) who was beaten, by majority decision, by Zorran Cassady (1-0). Arnon managed to make things competitive despite being the loser.

A third Thai who lost was the teak tough Paitoon Jaikom (1-6) who dropped a decision to, yet another debutant, Dean Thomas (1-0). Paitoon, unlike Pamool, is a tough guy and knows how to look after himself and with that in mind we've no problem with Paitoon going on and making a career as a solid journeyman level fighter.

The other Asian on this card was Filipino Robert Lerio (16-20-1, 6) who put up a very credible effort against Jason Cooper (10-2-1, 5). Despite losing Lerio did put a good test for Cooper who managed to avenge his first career defeat, which came back in 2012, though proved little more than the fact he has slightly improved over the last 2 years.

Baja California, Mexico
It wasn't all bad for travelling fighters as Filipino Jun Doliguez (19-1-2, 14) avenged his upset defeat to Gabriel Francisco Pina (11-12-5, 4). Pina did beat Doliguez earlier this year but this time Doliguez managed to right the wrong, even though he'll still have that "1" on his record.
