'WHO'S NEXT?': TEPORA STOPS TINAMPAY IN 5, CAPTURES WBO YOUTH ASIA PACIFIC TITLE


PhilBoxing.com




CEBU CITY ? Undefeated junior bantamweight prospect Jack Tepora showed mature boxing skills and lethal power by knocking out Jason Tinampay in the 5th round to capture the WBO Youth Asia-Pacific title in the first ever mall boxing here held at Atrium of the plush Robinson's Galleria that treated its huge Sunday evening crowd into a festive live boxing extravaganza in the first of Omega Pro-Sports' 'Who's Next' boxing series.

Tepora, 22, a Cebu native, and Tinampay, from Bohol, tried to measure each other out after the opening bell with Tepora staying at the center of the ring and cutting out Tinampay effectively which ended with a flurry by Tepora. In the second round, Tepora started working to the body of Tinampay and it was clear Tinampay was feeling the power of Tepora's punches. In the third round Tepora kept the pressure by throwing combinations upstairs but was caught by Tinampany with a lunging right to the head that Tepora. Tepora's good footwork neutralized Tinampay's lunging style and with his well-timed heavy punches, Tepora begun to dominate Tinampay the rest of the fight until finally, a flurry of head and body shots sent Tinampay down and out at 2:05 mark of the 5th round.

Tepora now upped his undefeated record to 17 wins with 12 knockouts while Tinampany suffered his 3rd defeat in 10 fights.
