Philippines - Jr. Welterweights - Semi-Finals & Final
Semi-Finals:
Morris East vs Pedro Adigue Jr. - A fun brawl to watch as both men went toe to toe throughout until East landed a wicked right hand that put Adigue Jr. out for the night at the end of the 6th round.
Roberto Cruz vs Jong Jong Pacquing - This started out as a back and forth brawl when Cruz scored a knockdown in the 6th round. That seemed to motivate Pacquing however as he took control of the fight from that point on to win going away by the score of 10-4, 9-4 and 9-5.
Final:
Morris East vs Jong Jong Pacquing - Pacquing defeated 2 of the top 4 seeds to get to the finals, and through the first 8 rounds it looked like he might pull off another upset, but 4 knockdowns later, he was out for the count in the 12th round. East had nothing but praise for the courage of his countryman in this one as he moves on to the World Tournament with a 3-0-0 (2) record.
