Carson, California ? Young Filipino Mark Magsayo showed everyone on Saturday night why Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is now one of his famous fans.
Magsayo, 20, put on a show of force against unbeaten Yardley Suarez of Mexico, needing only two minutes to beat him in their featherweight match at the StubHub Center.
Referee Raul Caiz Jr. stopped the fight after Suarez went down for the second time after taking a barrage of murderous blows.
Earlier, Magsayo had put him down following a flurry that was set up by a wicked one-two to the jaw.
After Caiz officially halted the fight, Magsayo did a backflip to the delight of the crowd.
The victory raised Magsayo?s record to 12-0 with ten KOs. The loss saw Suarez?s ledger sink to 13-1.
Magsayo fought in the undercard of the Donnie Nietes headliner alongside two other stablemates Jason and Prince Albert Pagara.
Jason demolished Nicaraguan Santos Benavidez in the second stanza, while younger brother, Prince Albert, a flashy super-bantam prospect, beat up William Gonzalez, also of Nicaragua, in six.
Many fans who watched the card dubbed Pinoy Pride 33: Philippines vs The World stayed behind to pose for pictures with the Cebu-based ring attractions.
