Bernabe Concepcion vs. Juma Fundi
One big right from Concepcion ends this one. Tanzanian Fundi was busy in the first round with quick jabs and rights but his punches had no power in them. Concepcion threw two quick jabs and then followed with a straight right that put Fundi down on his back. Fundi struggled to his feet but the referee got to nine and then just waived the fight over as Fundi was too wobbly to continue. The 27-year-old Filipino wins the vacant WBO Oriental title. He has failed in title shots against Steve Luevano and Juan Manuel Marquez. He was beaten by Mikey Garcia in 2012 then had only one fight in 2013 and one in 2014 and needs to be more active with Chris Avalos his next target. Sixth loss by KO/TKO for 28-year-old Fundi.
Renren Tesono vs. Bonjun Loperez
Tesono retains the Philippines title with a split decision over Loperez. Tesono, 23, was making the first defence of the Philippines title that he won with a majority verdict over Benezer Alolod in December. Loperez, 22, rated No 12 by the GAB, performed above expectations as he had lost 2 of his last 3 fights by KO/TKO.
Renerio Arizala vs Romnick Magos
Arizala gets technical decision over Magos. The end came due to Magos suffering a bad cut on his right eyebrow after a clash of heads and it went to the scorecards. Scores 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56. “Amazing” Arizala, 21, went 11-0-1 in his first 12 fights but was derailed by losses to Ardin Diale for the Philippines title and to former WBC champion Toshiyuki Igarashi in Japan on a close technical decision. He was No 7 with the GAB. Magos, the GAB No 4, was 8-3 going into this one with all three losses in Thailand.
Rogelio Jun Doliguez vs. Jerry Nardo
After back-to-back losses Doliguez gets back on the winning track with unanimous verdict over Nardo. The 24-year-old southpaw was world rated on the strength of an unbeaten run of 20 fights but then went 1-3 in his next 4 with losses to Dennis Tubieron and Fernando Montiel in those three defeats. Nardo, who has twice challenged for the WBU (German version) in Australia, is an experienced fighter with a good chin.
