Philippine Super-flyweight champion Eden Sonsona retained his crown with a 10th round technical decision with scores of 95-94 and 96-93 twice. The fight was stopped after an accidental clash of heads opened a deep cut on challenger Marvin Tampus which forced the referee to call it a night.
The fight was a give and take delighting the crowd. Tampus appeared to land the heavier blows to the body but could not sustain his attack. Sonsona then dish his own combinations to the head and body.
In the supporting LUZPROBA championship bouts:
Nino Suelo won by unanimous decision over Sherwin Manatad by the scores of 97-92, 99-90 and 100-89 in their flyweight fight.
The super-bantamweight fight between Ariel Delgado and Edgar Gabejan ended in a technical draw at 2' 07" in round two after Delgado was declared unfit to continue following a clash of heads which opened a cut above his left eyebrow.
Super-flyweight Richard Olisha won by split decision over Arman Casa. The scores were 96-94 & 96-93 for Olisha and 95-94 for Casa.
