Martinez Defeats Ancajas in Rematch as Brave Pinoy Fails to Regain World Title By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Sun, 09 Oct 2022  Sadly for Filipino boxing fans, "Pretty Boy" Jerwin Ancajas was outworked and decisioned once again by unbeaten, come-forward Argentinian champion Fernando Martinez today in Carson, California, live on Showtime. Despite coming in better shape and having some success in the early rounds, the 30-year-old Davaeño was out-punched and out-worked by the Argentinian former Olympian for wide unanimous scores. Official numbers from the American panel of judges were 118-110 (twice) and 119-111 all in favor of Fernando Martinez, the aggressive and effective fighter promoted by Marcos "El Chino" Maidana, the exciting former champ who was delighted with his boxer's victory. An officer of the Filipino Navy, the southpaw Ancajas showed guts, determination and a will to win throughout the 12-rounder action battle. But was bested by his busier, more effective opponent. 
What next? After a well-deserved rest and consultations with his management team at MP Promotions, should the skilled "Pretty Boy," come back as bantamweight? Has weight been a factor in Jerwin's last two performances? Or should he stay in the super flyweight division, the weight-class where this popular Pinoy fighter reigned as a world champion for nearly 6 years? Filipino fans can feel proud of the riveting, gallant effort and heart showed by Jerwin Ancajas today. Jerwin is still a champion in the hearts of his family, friends and fans; still the gwapo, ever-smiley "Pretty Boy."
