It was a tense tactical struggle from the start but Noynay stunned Pan with a sneaky uppercut in the second round, dropping the Chinese boxer for the first knockdown of the fight. Pan immediately got up and continued to exchange well placed punches. But the southpaw Noynay?s awkwardness proved to be his advantage and he dropped Pan again in the third with a body shot. Pan seemed more surprised than hurt and rallied in the subsequent rounds. But in the sixth, an accidental clash of heads opened a long ugly gash above Noynay?s right eyebrow. The action continued and Pan, sensing he was still in a deep hole, continued to be aggressive. In the eighth round, the cut got deeper with blood continuing to trickle into the Filipino?s eye forced the stoppage. The three judges had Noynay ahead ?
