Dasmarinas who is ranked No. 2 by the Philippine Games and Amusements Board dropped a controversial split decision in an IBO title fight against South Africa?s Lwandile Sithyatha in South Africa last December 13, 2014 in which one judge, Benoit Roussel who was one of the judges when WBO lifght flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes retained his title with a unanimous decision victory over mandatory challenger Francisco Rodriguez, had the Filipino winning handily over Sithyatha 118-110 but was overturned by the two other judges who favored the South African 116-112. In winning the WBC Youth crown over previously unbeaten Payao, Dasmarinas improved his record to 21-2 with 13 knockouts while Payao suffered his first setback to drop to 11-1 with 6 knockouts. Under the WBC open scoring system the 22 year old Dasmarinas led on the scorecards of all three judges at the end of the 4th round 40-36 while at the end of the 8th, two judges had Dasmarinas ahead 77-74 while the third judge also had him ahead 78-73. At the end of the ten rounds judges Carlo Baluyut and Virgilio Garcia turned in identical 96-93 scorecards in favor of Dasmarinas while judge Fernando Batistil also had Dasmarinas the winner by a wider 97-92 margin. The 21 year old Payao had won the title with a ten round unanimous decision over Rene Dacquel last December 9, 2014 while Dasmarinas was coming off a 4th round TKO over Roy Labrada last April 24.
