Ouch!

Boom Boom let his face wide open for Ruiz forgotting his defensive gear in the dugout, was it because of the double head butt wound under his eyes that caused all of these ? did he became overconfident before the fight ? indeed it was too much pressure but to loose focus and not to fight with your heart and soul is one thing, being too giddy is another thing...one thing is for sure, he's not gonna be the next Manny Pacquiao, better luck next time Boom Boom !


Oks lang yon, wag ka na umiyak ha, tahan na boom boom, next time sila i-boom boom mo

Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista is back on track after he impressively demoslished his Mexican rival KO artist Eden Marquez in the 2nd round before a delighted packed audience at the Grand Ballroom of the Waterfront Hotel & Casino here tonight to successfully defend his WBO Superbantam Intercontinental title.


Not having seen any of his opponent's previous fights, Bautista wisely studied his opponent's moves in the first round choosing to defend instead of attacking immediately. In the second round however, Bautista unleashed combinations after combinations as he caught Marquez early in the round to score a knockdown. Marquez was able to beat the referee's count but Bautista immediately put pressure on Marquez hitting Marquez with solid combinations afterwards. Referee Bruce McTavish stopped the contest as Marquez was driven in the corner unable to defend himself. Time was 1:08 of the second round.





Nietes made short work of Eddy Castro of Nicaragua after sending the smaller Nicaraguan in the first round and finished him at 2:49 in the 2nd round with a picture perfect right straight that sent Castro crushing to the canvas. Nietes successfully retained his WBO minifly crown.


Up-and-coming lightweight Jason Pagara delivered his promise to knockout his Thai opponent Kongdej SithtrajTrakan in the third or fourth round tonight as he sent the Thai to the canvas right in the first round and finished him up in the 4th round.
