SANTISIMA STOPS BAJAWA ON IDOL 2 (COMPLETE RESULTS & PHOTOS) By Dong Secuya PhilBoxing.com Sun, 17 Jul 2016  Hot super bantamweight prospect Jeo 'Santino' Santisima continued his knockout streak by stopping Junior Bajawa of Indonesia in the 3rd round Saturday night at the Mandaue City Sports Complex on ALA Promotions' IDOL 2 boxing event. From the outset, Santisima threw left-right combinations with bad intent but Bajawa opted to employ an impenetrable defense covering his face and body with his two hands high up. In the second round, Santisima kept on stalking Bajawa trying to target Bajawa's body on the side, but like a Clottey's defense against Pacquiao, he was able to nullify Santisima's bombs. In the third round, Santisima varied his punches and threw uppercuts and overhand rights instead. Finally one of the overhands was able to penetrate and hit Bajawa's head that put the Indonesian to the seat of his pants. Bajawa didn't try to get up to beat the count. Time of stoppage was at 1:31 of the third round. Santisima improved to 11 wins, 2 losses with 10 knockouts. Photos by Levi Dereseas / PhilBoxing.com.
