GANOY IN SENSATIONAL KO WIN OVER PEDEN By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 10 Mar 2007 Hard-hitting Filipino super featherweight Ranee Ganoy grabbed the biggest break of his ring career when he scored a sensational eighth round knockout over former IBF junior lightweight champion Robbie Peden to win the IBF Pan Pacific lightweight title in Brisbane, Australia late Friday. Ganoy’s manager, Sydney-based Filipino Dido Bohol told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today in an overseas telephone conversation that Ganoy dropped Peden in the sixth and seventh rounds and despite the battering referee Brad Vocale refused to stop the fight. Bohol said Peden was saved by the bell in the seventh round but Ganoy sent him crashing through the ropes in the fateful eighth round to score a sensational knockout. Peden is the same fighter who lost a twelve round unanimous decision to WBC super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera in September 2005 in Las Vegas and entered the ring after an eighteen month layoff. Peden said he has been wanting to fight in Brisbane for some time and was quoted by Mark Vester of boxingscene.com as saying “lightweight is a pretty good division for me right now.” Ganoy who is trained by brothers Hermie and Jeffrey Bohol has won his last four fights by stoppage with three TKO’s and one KO. Ganoy’s biggest win was against former Commonwealth Champion Fatai Onekeke on September 15 in what was named Australia’s “Fight of the Year” in 2006. Ganoy who is a devastating puncher stunned the highly favored Onekeke as early as the second round when he was given two standing eight counts and then again early in round seven before the fight was stopped as Ganoy nailed the former champion with some vicious blows. In his last fight on December 9, Ganoy scored a third round knockout over Dennapa Bigshotcamp of Thailand after decking Dennapa in the opening round. Ganoy has a record of 18 knockouts in 21 wins with 10 defeats and 2 draws. Peden who has a record of 25-3 with 14 KO’s fought in his hometown but according to Ganoy’s manager Dido Bohol that didn’t bother Ganoy.
