DIALE LOSES IN QUEST FOR VACANT WBO ORIENTAL SUPER FLYWEIGHT TITLE By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 15 Jun 2013 Philippine super flyweight champion Ardin Diale has lost in his quest for the vacant WBO Oriental title, dropping a twelve round unanimous decision to Petchangborn Kokietgym in a fight card at the Provincial Stadium in the North-Eastern Thai province of Chaiyaphum. All three judges scored the fight for the 27 year old Thai who improved his record to 21-6-1 with 8 knockouts. Two judges scored it 115-113 for the Thai fighter while the third judge scored it for the hometown fighter by a wider 117-111 margin. In his previous fight Petchangborn won the vacant Pan Asia Boxing Association flyweight title with a unanimous twelve round decision over another Filipino, Michael Escobia where he walked Escobia down and out-punched him. Media reports said there was nothing fancy, but it was a good fight even as the champion is considered still just a prospect. With the loss the 24 year old Diale dropped to 20-8-3 with 7 knockouts. Nicknamed ?The Spoiler? Diale won the Philippine title with a 6th round knockout of Ryan Bito last September 28. He had earlier lost by a 2nd round knockout to Mexico?s Juan Francisco Estrada who went on to win the WBO and WBA flyweight titles with an impressive victory over Brian Viloria last April 6 in Macau. In a supporting bout Escobia lost by a six round unanimous decision to bantamweight Ratchasak Kokietgym, the 21 year old Thai who pushed his record to 16-2-1 with 7 knockouts while the 22 year old Escobia fell to 10-5-1 with 2 knockouts.
