By Boxing Press July 20th, 2008 All Boxing Results

It was a good Saturday night across Asia and we'll kick things off Down Under in Melbourne, Australia where there was a superb bill at The Peninsula.

PABA Light Heavyweight Champ Daniel "Porky" Lovett, 17-3 (10), was in action in a non-title affair with former Australian titlist Jamie Guy, 9-9-1 (7) that went the distance.

After ten rounds of combat, Lovett emerged the winner via scores of 100-89, 99-91 and 98-92 to win his third straight contest since losing the IBF Pan Pacific Super Middle crown to Nader Hamdan.

Big punching light welter Lance Gostelow, 16-1 (13), led the way on the undercard, belting out ex-WBC Asian Boxing Council titlist Sataporn Singwancha, 17-6-1 (10), of Thailand, at 2:09 of the second round.

Another Thai import took it on the chin as current Australian Super Middle titlist Les Sherrington, 20-5 (13), crushed Bangkok slugger Plaisakda Singwancha, 35-16 (29), at 1:58 of the first frame of a six round non-title bout.

Australian Light Middle kingpin Frank LoPorto, 9-3-2 (5), rounded out the bill by stopping Indonesia's Hendrik Aritonang, 2-13 (1), in the second.

Saturday also featured a big card at Cebu Coliseum in Cebu City, Philippines, where Ciso Morales, Bert Batawang and Ranee Ganoy all entered the winner's circle. More...

Boxing In The Philippines: Cebu City Results

By Danny Wilson May 4th, 2008 All Boxing Results

Lots of action last night at the Cebu Coliseum in Cebu City, Philippines where Bert Batawang, Rodel Mayol and Federico Catubay all rolled on to victory.

36 year old southpaw light flyweight Batawang, 52-7 (36), enjoyed his second win in a row following a failed bid to unseat IBF Champion Ulises Solis by stopping well-traveled Thai Samransak Singmanassak, 32-19-1 (36), in the fourth.

Singmanassak had a 12 year youth advantage on his side going into the bout and was giving Batawang a good fight before walking into the perfect right hand that knocked him out at 0:37 of the fourth round. With the win, Batawang secures the vacant WBO Oriental Light Fly title.

Mandaue City resident Rodel Mayol, 24-3 (19), returned to the win column with a fifth round stoppage of another Thai fighter, Wisan Sor Suchanya, 9-7-1 (2), at light flyweight. More...
