ZAMBOANGA CITY--WBO Oriental featherweight champion Eric Canoy retained his title here yesterday with a fourth-round technical draw with three-time world title challenger Terdsak Jandaeng of Thailand at the 8,000-capacity Zamboanga City Coliseum here.
Canoy outboxed Jandaeng in the first two rounds before the Thai took the third using a big left and pressuring the local fighter for a fight.
In the fourth, a clash of heads cut Canoy on his right eye, prompting the ringside physician to suggest to referee Bruce McTavish to halt the fight.
"I'm happy to retain my title. I knew Terdsak was very strong, but I was ready to fight the whole 12 rounds after two months of training at the ALA Gym," said Canoy in an interview.
The event was put up by Blue Stallion Promotions of Congressman Erbie Fabian and SGG Promotions of Sammy Gello-ani.
Fabian, in an interview, revealed that Canoy should now be ripe for a fight in the United States under one of Golden Boy Promotions' events.
In the chief support, former RP flyweight champ Federico Catubay proved to be the fighter of the day after outpunching Thailand's Narindeth Kokietgym over eight explosive rounds.
Another Thai fighter, Samransak Singmanassak, decisioned Felix Tanamor over six rounds.
The fights, a co-presentation with the Kokiet Group, was beamed 'live' throughout Thailand yesterday, and will be aired in the Philippines in the coming weeks.
