Straw First Round
Ngaoprajan Sithsaithong 10-9-1 (8) vs Khulile Makeba 8-10-2 (3)
Makeba boxed beautifully at times and he was putting it on the Thai fighter in the fourth until a crushing cross dropped him with five seconds left in the round. Sithsaithong's power reared it's head again when he hurt Makeba in the seventh and ninth but the South Africans consistency earned him the SD. 95-94 x2 & 94-95
Noel Tunacao 9-11 (4) vs Wolf Tokamitsu 11-9 (7)
The Japanese brawlers hooks nearly closed Tunacao's right eye by round five, but Noel closed strong with speedy combination that fell just short and Tokamitsu advanced with the UD, 97-94 & 96-94 x2
Zukisani Kwayiba 16-4 (5) vs Samuel Gutierrez 12-8 (9)
This fight was full of action, with gutierrez forging inside and banging the body while Kwayiba countered with hooks and uppercuts to the head. Over the second half Zukisani got his jab working and picked apart Samuel from range for long stretches to take the UD. 98-92 & 96-94 x2
Kwanthai Sithmorseng 15-5 (6) vs Takayugi Korogi 11-7-2 (5)
Sithmorseng was just way too active for Korogi, and, in spite of some entertaining exchanges, he took the wide UD. 99-90 x2 & 97-92
Wellington Vincente 28-11-1 (8) vs Kompayak Porpramook 25-13-2 (17)
Porpramook dominated the first three rounds with powerful body shots and uppercuts. Then the Brazilian came back in the fourth and floored Kompayak for a six count. After Wellington controlled the fifth they began to slug it out in by far the most entertaining fight to date. Porpramook hurt him late in round nine with a right hand and carried that momentum through the tenth to pull out the UD. 95-94 x3
Yasutaka Kuroki 11-9 (3) vs Steve Msimanga 11-8-1 (7)
After a slow round and a half Misimanga ducked under a left hand and delivered a picture perfect hook that crashed into Kuroki's chin and put him down for the count.
Kwanjai 3K Battery 11-7-3 (2) vs Fernando Martinez 13-6-1 (6)
Fast paced and competitive fight, but 3k Battery's crisp combos swelled up both of Martinez eyes and busted up his mouth en route to the UD. 98-94, 98-95 & 96-95
Roberto Leyva 24-13-3 (11) vs Benjie Sorolla 13-6-1 (4)
They traded in tight from the opening bell until Leyva dropped him in the third with an uppercut and forced the stoppage with a follow up barrage.
