NAGWAGI ang Filipino fighters na sina John Dato at Genisis Libranza, ngunit natalo sa Jayar Inson via 2nd round knockout sa undercard ng Pacquiao vs Thurman kahapon sa MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Napatigil ni Libranza, Philippine flyweight champion, si Mexican American Carlos Maldonado sa 4th round ng kanilang sagupaan na pambungad sa Pacquiao-Thurman bout.

“Coach Nonoy Neri took a chance versus Carlos Maldonado and requested Coach Rodel Mayol to work as a cutman, an act that is certainly out of order.

“Libranza (19-0-1, 10KO) stops Carlos Maldonado (11-4-0,7KO) of Los Angeles in round 4 of a scheduled 8 rounder. Time 2:54,” ayon sa ulat ng Boxingscene. com

“In the first fight, John Dato of Santa Maria. California (12-01, 8 KOs) drops Juan Antomio Lopez of Dallas Texas (13-7-0 5KOs),” ayon sa ulat. “Dato continued to dominate Lopez until he landed a series of punches in round 5. Lopez fell to his knees and was counted out by the referee. Time 2:05.”
