AJ Banal Wins Over Mbwana Matumla

[MikeLigalig.com]

AJ Banal scored a stunning second round knockout win over Mbwana Matumla in the main event of the "Tuloy ang Pagsubok" fight card last night at the Cebu Coliseum.

Banal probed his Tanzanian opponent in the first round and landed enough body blows to get Matumla's attention. In the second round the Tanzanian walked into a powerful left and fell on his back.

He tried to get up but could not beat the count. Official time 2:59 of the 2nd.
Banal is expected to be fighting in the undercard of the Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Floyd Mayweather blockbuster match.

Czar Amonsot struggled against Morris “Virus” Chule of Kenya but won by a close unanimous decision.

The Kenyan landed with effective jabs and right hand leads in the early rounds as Amonsot looked sluggish and was unable to put punches in bunches. Chule was able to absorb Amonsot's head shots and landed clean counter punches.

The restless crowd tried to push Amonsot to stage a rally and expressed their displeasure on a few occasions. The Kenyan started to slow going into the 8th round as Amonsot was able to land punishing body punches.

Chule looked ripe for the taking in the last two rounds but Amoncot could not finish him off.
The scorecards read: 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93.

Jason Pagara continued the ALA Gym's winning streak over Indonesian boxers with a third round TKO win over Hero Katili.

The Indonesian could not exploit his height and reach advantage and Pagara easily managed to close the distance and land crisp combinations. In the second round Katili was pinned on the ropes and received a barrage of punches. - The Bohol Chronicle

Ang difference lang sa ila Hatton is abtik ang medical staff didto
while ang ila away ni Banal bisan na lang lingkoranan dugay jud
nahatag looy intawn to si Matumla didto sa canvass naglingkod og
dugay and sa preliminary bouts kadto manghod ni Amonsot nagpakog
man to siya sa iya kontra nga taga Bohol ra pod dugay pod kaayo
ang ring physician tanaw sa samad
