Undefeated Boholano Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista continued his undefeated streak, stopping Mexican Marino Montiel Gonzalez in the third round of their scheduled 12-rounder in Cebu City last a few minutes.
Bautista unleashed a huge left to the midsection in the third, sending Gonzalez down on his knees for good as referee Bruce McTavish tolled the count and waived off the fight.
In the first, Bautista scored an early knockdown with a big right that sent Gonzalez on his knees for the first time.
By the second, a confident Bautista continued to press the attack, although the Mexican countered with shots of his own to somehow keep himself in the fight.
The win improved Bautista's unblemished record to 22 wins, no loss with 17 KO's, and lines him up for a big May 5 bout with Argentina's Sergio Mediana in a 12-round WBO superbantam title eliminator.
"I am very thankful to the support. See you on May 5," said Bautista in an interview with the media after the fight, referring to the huge 'The World Awaits' card featuring Oscar De la Hoya against Floyd Mayweather Jr. where he is fighting on the undercard.
Golden Boy Promotions international matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz, in an interview, said that De la Hoya himself had personally picked Bautista to be included in the card, and up to this writing, only the Filipino star is a lock for the card.
