TAPALES, DEMECILLO-SINGWANGCHA WOW CROWD IN LILOAN, CEBU By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Mon, 10 Oct 2011  TAPALES OUTGUNS DURABLE MUBIRU Liloan, Cebu ? For ten fast paced rounds, Marlon Tapales (19W-1L, 6 KO?s) of Lanao del Norte and Mobile Martin Mubiru (8W-3L, 5 KO's) of Uganda engaged in an entertaining but technically sound battle. Mubiru tried giving the southpaw Tapales different looks by shifting from a left to right handed stance with ease. The two speedy and crafty boxers landed perfect straight punches and accurate counters. In the fourth round, Tapales targeted the midsection and found the African?s Achilles heel. A sharp right uppercut to the body sent Mubiru down. Mubiru got up and continued to fight back. In the sixth, a series of hooks to the ribs sent Mubiru down again. He got up only to be deducted a point for a headbutt. In the seventh round, Mubiru walked into a right hook and went down again. After he got up, he still managed to stun Tapales with crisp combos. A clash of heads opened a cut on Tapales? right eyelid which resulted in another point deduction for Martin. Tapales launched a fierce offensive in the 8th but Mubiru survived and increased his work rate in the ninth. Sensing he was way behind, Mubiru made one last charge for a knockout but Tapales defense kept him out of serious trouble. The scores for Tapales ? 97-89, 96-90 and 96-90 did not reflect the intense struggle that went on inside the ring.  The referee raises the hand of Tapales in victory.  Tapales connects with an uppercut. DEMECILLO SINGWANGCHA WINS PHIL.

At the end of the 4th round, the ring doctor checked with Vidad in his corner but he and his cornermen expressed willingness to continue fighting.
