UDTOHAN BEATS MALINAO, MOVES TO PROSPECT STATUS

Last night in General Santos City, Roberto Udtohan of the American Boxing Academy (ABA) easily disposed of Roldan Malinao in two short rounds to up his unblemished record to 15 wins, no loss, 13 KO's.

American Ken Smith, Udtohan's manager, has indicated that with the win, the young fighter "is now ready to step up to better competition."

Udtohan, fast becoming ABA's main man following the recent defeats of stablemates Fernando Lumacad and Ramie Laput, is expected to get some big breaks in 2010.
