Experience over youth: VETERAN GERALDO STOPS YOUNG BUT BRAVE GOMERA By Manny Piñol PhilBoxing.com Sun, 29 Nov 2015 Veteran Mark Anthony Geraldo, 24, stopped the winning streak of 19-year-old Jilbert Gomera scoring a technical knockout in the 6th round of a bloody fight in General Santos City Saturday night. Geraldo, based in Valencia City, Bukidnon, survived a large and profusely bleeding cut over his right eye and scored three knockdowns in the tough fight before Referee Ronnie Mondejar stopped the fight in the 6th. The exciting Geraldo-Gomera battle served as the climax of the night which marked the launching of "Blow By Blow Reloaded," a project of 8-division-world champion Manny Pacquiao who aims to discover new Filipino boxing talents. Geraldo improved his record to 31 wins with 6 losses, 3 draws and 15 KOs. It was the young Gomera's first loss in 11 professional fights. But if it was any consolation, Gomera showed the heart of a future champion as he kept on coming back even when Geraldo had scored a stunning knockdown in the second round. In other bouts, Jhaleel Payao of Cebu stopped Elvic Bicoy of Zamboanga del Sur in the 3rd round of a scheduled 8; Saltier Amit of Cebu stopped Ian Ligutan of Surigao del Sur in the 2nd while Jimboy Haya of Cebu scored a 6th round TKO over Bonjun Loperez of Bukidnon in three 8-round bouts.
