MINALAS ang dalawang Pinoy boxer na lumaban sa Japan at United States nang kapwa matalo via 1st round knockouts kahapon.

“Undefeated super lightweight prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 KOs) knocked out late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 KOs) in the first round of his TV debut,” ayon sa ulat ng Fightnews.com. “A hook to the liver put Cristobal down for the count. Time was 1:46.”

Sa ulat naman ni Joe Koizumi, walang nagawa si one-time world title challenger Warlito Parrenas nang tamaan ng matinding suntok sa ulo ng karibal na Hapones.

“Hard-punching OPBF bantamweight champ Keita Kurihara (14-5, 12 KOs), 118, successfully made his initial defense when he stunned the crowd with a quick demolition of former world challenger, Filipino veteran Warlito Parrenas (26-10-1, 23 KOs), 117.5, with a single right shot to the side of the head at only 0:35 into the opening session of a scheduled twelve on Friday in Tokyo, Japan,” ulat din ng Fightnews.com.

“Parrenas, who once had an ambitious crack at the WBO 115-pound belt against Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue only to sink in two quick rounds in 2015, now suffered three consecutive losses,” dagdag sa ulat.
