After their fight, Ganoza and Zulueta are friendly to each other. No hard feelings at all.
In the chief supporting bout, super lightweight Joepher Monta?o (9-2-2, 8 KO's) of Davao City proved too strong for 37 year-old journeyman brawler Danilo Pe?a of Tawi Albay who decided not to come out for more fire at the beginning of the seventh round, a TKO win for Montano who is willing to take on more demanding challenges.
