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.

Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!

“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.
