DEMECILLO KO?S CERNA, AGUELO STOPS NARDO IN COMPOSTELA By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Mon, 23 Jul 2012  COMPOSTELA, CEBU - Philippine superflyweight champion Marco Demecillo Singwangcha overpowered Jeffrey Cerna in an action packed non-title bout held Sunday at the municipality gym of Compostela. Demecillo (17W-0L-1D, 13KO's) and Cerna (15W-6L, 5 KO's) engaged in intense close quarter hand to hand combat; throwing punishing head and body shots which had the near sell-out crowd on their feet. Cerna kept the pressure early in the fight and Demecillo showed his excellent ability to fight off the ropes. In the sixth round, a hard left hook to the ribcage sent Cerna down. He got up but was decked by a right straight as the bell sounded. In the seventh round, a powerful uppercut to the body sent Cerna down for good. Referee Teddy Alivio reached the count of ten at the 1:12 mark. Cerna?s corner claimed it was a low blow but a review of the video monitor at ringside showed the punch landed at the beltline and was ruled a legal blow. Demecillo, who fights out of the RWS Gym of Cebu, remains unbeaten and was given additional cash incentives by his sponsor, Thai promoter Naris Singwangcha.

Aguelo (R) wins over Nardo> 
Labanza (R) outlasts Redondo. 
Cebu-based Japanese boxer Dodong Masashi (R) wins over Jonathan Francisco. In the supporting main event, Adonis ?TI Yamagata? Aguelo of the TI Cebu Flores Gym relied on his steady body attack to turn back Jerry Nardo of Bacolod City. Aguelo had a slow start but increased his punch output to the abdomen in the 5th prompting Nardo to signal that he will not continue to fight going into the sixth round. Eman Labanza scored a rare win for the Phil-Aust gym of Mandaue City when he stopped Jason Redondo Singwangcha of the RWS Gym in the 9th round for the PBF superfeatherweight title. Both boxers started swinging non-stop and ignored pleas from their cornermen for science and defence. As the rounds progressed, both boxers were getting tired but Labanza looked spent in the 8th as he could not even hold up in gloves properly. In the ninth round, Labanza summoned enough strength for one more salvo and an exhausted Redondo turned his back prompting referee Ben Necessario to stop the fight at 2:09. Redondo was assisted by medical personnel at ring side but was able to recover after a few minutes. Gerpaul ?TI Yamagata? Valero won by TKO at 1:05 of the 4th round against Gerald Ubatay. The fight was stopped because Ubatay?s nose bled in the 3rd round and blood poured out again in the 4th.
