Cebu City -- The main protagonists during tonight's 'Collision at the Coliseum' boxing event held at the Cebu Coliseum here all won their bouts but in different routes.
Ciso 'Kid Terrible' Morales engaged in a tactical fight against Narongnoi Or Muangklang of Thailand in the first nine rounds and piled up points in his favor with effective counter-punching and combinations but hold on for dear life when he lost steam in the last three rounds as Muangklang changed to a bullying tactic that nearly cost Morales the fight and the WBO Oriental super bantam title. The judges' scores were 116-112, 115-113 and 118-110 all in Morales' favor. Morales has now improved to 12-0 with 7KOs while Muangklang got his second loss in 11 starts.
Ranee 'The KO Kid' Ganoy lived up to his billing by impressively knocking out Sapapetch Sor Sakaorat in the second round to book a trip to the United States where he is set to campaign against the world's best lightweights. Ganoy has improved his record to 25-10-0 with 21KOs. Sakaorat has dropped to 13-5-0.
Meanwhile Bert 'Ninja' Batawang got a technical decision win in the 6th round after the referee stopped the contest upon the recommendation by the ring physician when Batawang was accidentally near his right eye by a headbutt inflected by Benjie Sorolla and declared unfit to continue.
