Denver Cuello and Sony Boy Jaro, RP minimum-weight and light-flyweight champions respectively retained their titles in contrasting fashions Sunday night at the Thunderbird Resort and Casino, Rizal.
Cuello started strong and landed punches better as the fight started and later in the 1st round, floored challenger Rollen del Castillo for the mandatory 8-count. Cuello maintained control of the fight with his combination of punches when he and Castillo clashed heads midway in the 3rd round. The accident opened a deep cut over Castillo's right eyebrow which bleed profusely.
