Fernando Otic (R) connects over Jaime Barcelona during their fight Thursday in Toledo City, Cebu.

Toledo City, Cebu ? Fernando Otic of Mandaue City outpointed Jaime Barcelona of Bukidnon in the ten round main event of the fight card held at the Barba Sports Complex. The two superfeatherweights traded power shots and fought at close quarters in the first four rounds. Past the midway point the action got sloppy as both boxers faded. But Otic still had enough gas in the tank to throw jabs and score points.

The scorecards read 99-90, 98-91 and 98-91 all for Otic.

Marjohn Yap of Cagayan de Oro won by third round TKO over Gedeon Amba of Mandaue City in a superbantamweight contest . A well timed right straight stunned Amba who was trapped helpless in his own corner prompting the referee to stop the fight at the 2:26 mark.

Ryan Canillas of Toledo City beat Sherwin Caday of Mandaue City by unanimous decision after four rounds. Canillas came out with guns blazing and scored flash knockdowns in the first and second rounds. Sledgehammer hooks from Canillas kept Caday on the defensive through the entire fight. The scores ? 40-34, 39-35 and 39-35.

Superflyweight Lubert Bayo of Mandaue City outpointed Jicky Gaco of Boljoon, Cebu after six hard fought rounds. Gaco was deducted a point due to an accidental head butt that inflicted a cut on Bayo?s left eyebrow in round four. The scores ? 57-56, 57-56 and 58-55.

In the first bout of the evening, Mark Acub of Iloilo won by TKO in the second round against Keiver Gonzaga of Talisay City. Gonzaga was pinned in his own corner and received a barrage of unanswered punches. Official time ? 0:35.
