PINOY PRIDE XVII COMPLETE RESULTS By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Sun, 21 Oct 2012  PASAY CITY ? Team Philippines scored a 4W-1L victory in head to head match-ups against foreign boxers but missed the big one. AJ ?Bazooka? Banal (28-2-1, 20 KO's) suffered his second career loss at the hands of Pungluang Sor Singyu (43-1, 28 KO's) of Thailand by ninth round TKO in their battle for the vacant WBO bantamweight world title. Pungluang blunted Banal?s edge in boxing skills by simply refusing to submit and just go forward and fire combinations. Banal started as the sharper and stronger fighter, his jab was on target and he repeatedly hurt Pungluang with his right uppercut and quick lefts to the body and head. But Banal suffered a cut on his right eyelid in the third round and was deducted a point for repeated low blows in the sixth. Pungluang continued to press the action. In the 9th, Banal got cornered and was thrown out of the ring. He got up and but was caught by a hard right and by more hard hooks. Banal went down and got up obviously still dazed and turned as Referee Tony Weeks was counting. Weeks waived it off at the 1:45 mark. Pungluang's corner yelled and celebrated as their boxer was awarded the WBO championship belt. A stunned and disappointed Banal cried in his corner. After 8 rounds, Judge Robert Hoyle had Banal ahead 77-74 while judges Levi Martinez and Raul Caiz,Jr had Pungluang ahead by a point, 75-76 due to Banal's earlier deduction.
