Jonas ?Zorro? Sultan of the famed ALA stable of Cebu retained his Philippine super flyweight title with a spectacular 5th round knockout of game but unranked challenger Rommel Oliveros on the undercard of a terrific ?Pinoy Pride 36? fight card at the St. La Salle Coliseum before a sell-out crowd in Bacolod City on Saturday night.
Oliveros was ready to exchange punches with the aggressive, hard hitting Sultan before the champion nailed Oliveros with a perfectly-timed, explosive right straight to the jaw that sent the challenger crashing to the canvas to be counted out at 2:13 of the 5th round.
Jonas Sultan is the younger brother of former PABA and World Boxing Foundation welterweight champion Dondon Sultan.
Jonas Sultan won the super flyweight title with a unanimous twelve round decision over Rene Dacquel on the top-rating Viva Sports boxing show ?The Main Event? at the Mandaluyong Sports Center on July 11, 2015.
In his last fight in Osaka, Japan, Sultan won by a rousing 2nd round TKO over Tatsuya Ikemizu who suffered only his second loss as against 13 wins with 7 knockouts when Sultan caught him with a cracking overhand right in a scheduled eight round bout in Osaka on March 27, 2016.
With the win the 24 year old ?Zorro? Sultan who entered and left the ring with the customary cape and mask of ?:Zorro? improved to 11-3 with 7 knockouts while 20 year old Oliveros dropped to 6-3 with 1 knockout.
