PROXY MEXICAN OPPONENT OF BOOM-BOOM DOUSED COLD WATER ON AN EXCITING NIGHT OF BOXING (PHOTOS) By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 04 Mar 2012  Tagbilaran City ? The outcome of the main event was expected and a lot of people were relieved that it was finally over. Fans did not get to see the Genaro Garcia that was advertised and billed as a tough test for Rey ?Boom Boom? Bautista. What they saw was a Mexican who was obviously scared and couldn?t punch. He had no business fighting inside the ring opposite the popular hometown boy. But the fans who gathered at the Carlos P. Garcia Sports Complex - estimated to be more than the 30,000, bigger than the crowd that saw AJ Banal vs Big Yoo two years ago - managed to give a polite applause and still enjoyed the entire fight card. The lack of action in the opening round made the crowd restless. In the second, two hooks sent Garcia down. He managed to get up but a short right sent him down for good. Referee Bruce McTavish counted him out at the 1:24 mark.  Bautista downs Garcia.  Bautista adds another W to his record.  Servania (L) and Otieno.  Pagara sends Yaranga to the canvas.  Doming (L) heads to a neutral corner after knocking down Tampus.  Acub KOs Martinez. SERVANIA SHOWS CLASS VS. OTIENO Genesis ?Azukal? Servania landed hard shots with clinical precision to the body and head in the opening round.But Kenya?s Nick Otieno came to fight and found his range in the second. In the third, life turned briefly sour for Servania when Otieno staggered him in close quarter exchanges. Servania managed to weather the barrage but Otieno took the round. Servania began to jab and use the ring. He began to pile up the points and had chances to finish Otieno near the end of the 7th and 9th rounds. The Kenyan hung tough but it was Servania who gave a boxing clinic until the final bell. The scores 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92. PAGARA PUMMELS YARANGGA Jason ?El Ni?o?
