Gemino.
Jhon Gemino of the Jun Candeza Boxing Gym in Lipa City, Batangas won the WBA Intercontinental Super Bantamweight fight for the vacant title but didn?t get the belt as he was overweight according to a text report from Candeza himself from South Africa.
Gemino scored a sizzling KO in round 9 against Toto Helebe of South Africa at the Emerald Casino on the undercard of the Jack Asis vs Malcolm Klassen IBO Super featherweight title fight.
Candeza sent the following text message:
?Sir nanalo po kami KO po ang kalaban sa 9th. Dapat nga po tinigil na sa 1st round or kaya dun sa 3rd, 4th , 7th and 8th kasi po talagang bugbug sarado yun kalaban. Pinilit po ng referee at inalagaan siya kaya ayon ng ma-KO siya no Jhon nawalan ng malay tao talaga.
"Pinaglaruan lang po siya ng bata. Ang sabi niya kukunin daw niya ng maaga kasi baka maunahan pa siya kasi wala kaming rest talaga. Dumating kami sa Johannesburg 4:30 PM, nakarating kami sa hotel naming past 12 midnight.
"Tapos timbagan agad pag gising naming kinabukasan kaya po di naming nakuha yun tamang timbang."
Gemino last fought in Los Angeles against Golden Boy prot?g? Christian Chimpa Gonzales, a legitimate lightweight. Gemino took Gonzales to the deep waters before he was declared a loser by unaminous decision. For a super bantamweight to do that to a lightweight is amazing.
Editor's Note: Australia based Filipino Jack Asis lost to Malcolm Klassen of South Africa by unanimous decision for the IBO world super featherweight title on the main event.
