DAVAO CITY ? Filipino super bantamweight Jelbirt ?Panther? Gomera loss by a 6th round technical knocked out to Ryan Burnett of United Kingdom last May 17 at the Ulster Hall in Belfast.
It was the 6th loss suffered by Gomera against 14 wins and 7 knockouts while Burnett scored his 20th victory and 1oth knockout win against 1 loss.
?Gomera?s loss was also caused by the late approval of the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) that resulted to the late application and release of the UK visa,? said Darwin Miller Angelo Dep-ay of the Highland Boxing Promotion.
It also caused the re-booking of ticket because of the visa problems.
?Gomera also suffered a jet lag for almost 19 hours travel and had a late arrival in Belfast. They almost had 12 hours late after the official weigh-in,? said Dep-ay.
Gomera also had the poor treatment from the staff and promoter in Belfast.
?Was not able to plaster the hand and warm-up before the fight as there were no staff to assist them with the schedule,? said Dep-ay.
Dep-ay said that ?they were not allowed to go out from their room and check on the ongoing fight. (Lito delos Reyes)
