Rising undefeated Filipino super bantamweight Jack Tepora's power was too much for the visiting Indonesian Galih Susanto who kissed the canvas thrice en route to a 5th round TKO victory by Tepora who captured the vacant WBO Oriental super bantamweight title at the Mandaue City Sports & Cultural Center here Friday night in a well attended ?Who's Next 3? boxing event that was offered free to the public by Omega Pro-Sports International.

Towards the end of the round, Tepora connected with a straight left that staggered the Indonesian. The power discrepancy became more evident in the 3rd round as Tepora begun to connect consistently with his left at Susanto (12-7-1, 2KOs) who displayed some speed by his counters could not find home. A heavy left by Tepora sent Susanto to the canvas towards the end of the 3rd round. At the start of the 4th, Susanto, who went the full distance against current world champion Marlos Tapales in their 2014 fight, scored with a right and moments later a headbutt cut Tepora's left eyebrow.
