Philippines - Jr. Lightweights - Quarter-Finals
Quarter-Finals:
Gabriel Elorde vs Ian Fajardo - Elorde was poetry in motion, fluidly moving around the ring and punishing Fajardo throughout his 12-2, 11-3, 11-3 decision.
Ben Villaflor vs Rene Barrientos - Villaflor scored the lone knockdown as Barrientos couldn't find an answer to the speed and power of his opponent in this one. It went the distance with the judges scoring it closer than it was at 11-4, 9-5 and 9-6 for Villaflor.
Mike Ballerino vs Randy Suico - Ballerino started off strong but in the 4th went down 3 times in the first 2 minutes of the round then was pummeled until the referee put a stop to the carnage for the Suico TKO.
Rolando Navarrete vs Johnny Sato - Back and forth bout that saw Navarrete down 2 times early only to have him storm back with a knockdown of his own in the 13th as he seemingly took control of the fight in the final 5 rounds. It went the distance with the judges seeing it 9-6 on all 3 cards for Navarrete.
