Dapudong celebrates birthday with a 2nd round KO By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Sun, 28 Jun 2015  DAVAO CITY -- Former International Boxing Organization (IBO) world super flyweight champion Edrin ?The Stingray? Dapudong celebrated his 29th birthday with a second round knockout win against Richard Garcia in the main event of the Boxing Revolution III Friday night at the Almendras gym. Dapudong landed two consecutive lefts on the body and face for the knockout in 2:19 of the 2nd round. Dapudong started hurting the Manila-based Garcia with bodyshots in the first round. The native of M?lang, Cotabato continued landing left-right combinations at the start of the second canto before he finally hit the two powerful lefts. ?Nagpapasalamat talaga ako ng malaki una sa Panginoon dahil dito sa isang magandang birthday gift ko,? said Dapudong, who improved his record to 32 wins, 19 KOs, 6 losses and no draw.

Manny Pinol. A possible rematch against Marquez and Dapudong will be for the International Boxing Organization bantamweight title.
