We have 15 fighters in this division, so top seeded Jesus Salud will recive a bye.
Round 1:
Arnel Barotillo vs Ricarte Cainiela - Caniela scored a knockdown early and nearly closed both of Barotillo's eyes, but Barotillo came back with a pair of knockdowns of his own, including the KO in the 15th round.
Jaime Barcelona vs Dino Olivetti - Olivetti did well early on, staying in the fight, but couldn't handle the power of Barcelona who scored the KO in the 8th round with a wicked right hand.
Bobby Berna vs Andy Alagenio - Berna was dominant in this one, scoring 3 knockdowns, but unfortunately he cut easily and it reopened in the 14th for the TKO upset by Alagenio. All 3 judges had it 9-4 for Berna through 13.
Jesse Maca vs Jonathan Albay - A low scoring affair with several close rounds, but Maca was clearly the better fighter and it reflected in the scorecards, where he won 7-4, 12-2 and 10-4.
Archie Ano-os vs Nick Ampong - A lot of close rounds made this difficult to score as neither man went down and neither man truely asserted his dominance. It appeared that Ampong was the stronger man over all, and it reflected in the scorecards of the judges who saw it 9-5, 7-6 and 8-4 for him.
Bong Arlos vs Maximo Barro - After a pair of feeling out rounds Arlos drops Barro for the count with a wicked cross to start the 3rd round.
Little Bangoyan vs Joseph Paden - This one went down to the wire with Bangoyan scoring a knockdown in the 15th round to win the 6-7, 7-5 & 8-6 split decision.
