BAUTISTA WINS BY KO IN 3RD

Cebu City -This time there would be no question as to who really deserved to win.Rey ?BoomBoom?Bautista sent Alejandro Barrera down on one knee with a short left to the liver in the 3rd round.The Mexican got up but Bautista pounced on him,pinning him on the ropes with a brutal volley.
Barrera sunk to his knees and referee Bruce McTavish reached the ten count at 2:56 of the round sending the Waterfront Hotel crowd in a frenzy.



Just like in their first encounter,both boxers had no difficulty landing headshots. But this time,Bautista?s raw power prevailed. Official time 2:56.

Jason Pagara used a single left hook to separate Billy Sumba from his senses in the opening round. Sumba fell on his back after being smacked in the jaw. The referee reached the count of ten at the 2:53 mark.



Medical personnel went inside the ring to revive the Indonesian. He stood up and walked to his corner after a few minutes.

DAPUDONG STINGS THE COBRA



Edrin?The Sting?Dapudong scored a 7th round TKO win over a badly battered Sofyan ?The Cobra?Effendi of Indonesia. Effendi was eager to trade punches which was his undoing as he was on the verge of being kayoed in almost every round. The referee stopped the fight at 17 seconds of the 7th as Dapudong trapped Effendi in his own corner and landed another merciless barrage.



PABA Bantamweight champion Roli Gasca slipped and countered and made Joash Aparicio look silly for eight rounds. A point was deducted from Gasca in the 6th for an accidental headbutt which caused a cut on Aparecio?s left eyebrow. The scorecards read 78-74, 77-74 and 78-73 for Gasca.

Crowd favorite Jojo Intor lost by majority decision to Albert Villacampa.But Intor did his job which was to provide comic relief.The scores read 38-38, and 40-36,39-37 for Villacampa.

Albert Pagara used a left hook to the liver to drop Jeffrey Galsim in the opening round.The referee reached the ten count with Galsim still grimacing in pain on the canvas.Official time ? 1:02.

Rey Melligen used a series of brutal body shots against Robert Arcala until the latter turned his back and signaled that he has had enough.Melligen won by TKO in the third at the 2:29mark.

Zaldy Aroa and Robert Awitin fought to a split draw after six rounds. The scores -57-57, 58-56 Aroa,58-56 Awitin.
