~ Dek-Koo Kim Scores Easy 10-Round Decision In Non-Title Bout ~


23 year-old OPBF Lightweight Champion - Deuk-Koo Kim of South Korea scored an easy
and 'workman-like' 10-Round Decision over pesky boxer Nick Caputol of The Philippines.

The Lightweight bout was fought on 'even terms' over the first 4-Rounds, before Deuk-Koo
opened up with some hard-combinations late in Round 5.

Deuk-Koo used an assortment of right-hooks, straight left-hands and fast '3-Punch' combinations
to rattle the Filipino during Round 6.

Deuk-Koo secured the win in Round 7, when he floored Caputol with a 'sizzling' right-hook to the
chin and a follow-up short left-hand to the upper-body.

The South Korean pummeled the Filipino in Rounds 7 and 8 with hard-assaults, before easing
up over the last 2-Rounds.
