PhilBoxing.com




SHANGHAI, CHINA ? The second of a back to back Yuletide fight card had enough blood, spills and stoppages to satisfy the fans that braved the cold Shanghai night.

Southpaw Zhang Jin Sheng won his league debut by unanimous verdict over Wang Yiming in a hard fought lightweight match. Zhang was deducted a point in the final round due to hitting during the break and hitting on the back of the head.

(Scores ? Yin Haiyang ? 38-37, Sawaeng Thaweekoon ? 39-37, Feng Yocheng ? 39-36)

Liu Yang beat Gong Chao by unanimous decision in their middleweight bout.

(Scores ? Sungworn Klungboonkrung and Zhao Yubin ? 39-37, Tao Zhendong ? 40-36)

Welterweight Jin Yangcheng bucked a cut on his right eyelid to beat Zhu Xiaozheng also by unanimous decision.

(Scores ? Lin Weiqing and Tao Zhendong ? 40-36, Surat Soikrachang ? 39-37)

Yang Xiaolong beat an overmatched Yang WeiHan by TKO in the second round in their lightweight bout. Referee Mekin Sumon stopped the fight at the 2:40 mark with Yang continuing to receive heavy punches on his feet.

Supermiddleweight Zulpikar need only 28 seconds to stop Zhang Chengbo with a hard body shot.

Featherweights Zheng Wenhao and Cheng Bingbing engaged in a technical draw after two rounds when a clash of heads inflicted a deep cut above Zheng?s right eyebrow.

Ning Xinbo stopped a faded Cheng Fei in the second round. Cheng started fast but was exhausted and unable to defend himself in the second. Referee Suray Soikrachang stopped the welterweight bout at the 2:35 mark.

Aorigele and Zhu Yijun fought to a split draw in their bruising encounter.

(Scores ? Han Hongxiang ? 39-37 Zhu, Mekin Sumon ? 40-36 for Aorigele, Zhu Yuwen ? 38-38)

Liu Zhong prevailed by unanimous decision over Wang Yingang in their featherweight battle. (Scores of Yin Haiyang, Lin Weiqing, and Zhao Yubin were all 39-37)

The last fight of the night was another fast TKO win by Xu Jingbao over Yakupu Jumai, with Referee Sawaeng Thaweekoon stopping the welterweight contest at 2:23 of the opening round.

The League of Fists is a series of four round professional boxing matches with the eventual winner crowned as the WBO Greater China champion in their respective weight divisions. The back to back fight cards are regularly held twice a month at the Mixing Room of the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai.

This grassroots talent search is promoted by Top Rank and Seca and officiated by the Professional Boxing Commission (PBC) of China.

The League of Fists tournament will return on January 2016.
