PhilBoxing.com




Anthony ?ROCKY? Marcial of Zamboanga City beat Dante ?Chowking? Paulino of Manila by technical knockout in the fourth round to win the vacant WBO Oriental Lightweight title Saturday night at the Wilfredo Cabalse Sports Complex in Barangay Mabolo, Cebu City.

Marcial unloaded a stream of power punches from the opening bell until he pinned Paulino in the neutral corner. Marcial continued to pummel the hapless Paulino prompting referee Danrex Tapdasan to call a halt to the bout at 1:24 of the 4th.

In the supporting bouts:

Jason Canoy of Cebu beat Roel Honor of Butuan by third round TKO. Canoy continuously punished Honor with head and body shots prompting his cornerman to throw in the towel at 1:46 of the round.

Jose Ocampo of Manila scored a dramatic fourth round TKO win over Samuel Galinato of Bohol. Galinato had Ocampo hurt and reeling on the ropes in the 4th round. Ocampo somehow recuperated and fired back pinning Galinato in his own corner and unleashed a barrage of punches sending Galinato down. The referee signalled the end at 2:36 of the 4th.

Jr. welterweight Adonis Cabalquinto won by 2nd round TKO against Billy Balleser of Bohol. Balleser was knocked down in round two and chose not to answer the bell for the third.
