MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing prospect Jack Tepora moved his unbeaten record to 19-0 with 14 knockouts with a fifth-round stoppage of Indonesian journeyman Galih Susanto on Friday, December 2 at Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Complex in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines.
Tepora, 23, dropped Susanto (12-7-1, 2 KOs) once in the third round off a right hook before two knockdowns in the fifth finished the match at the 2:30 mark, according to Philboxing. Tepora, a two-time National amateur champion, is currently rated number 14 in the world by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at junior featherweight. The win earned him the vacant WBO Oriental super bantamweight title.
In earlier matches, Mark Anthony Barriga, a 2012 Olympian representing the Philippines, moved to 3-0 but has yet to score a knockout in the pros after winning a 5-round technical decision over Rodel Kirk Pelenio (3-2-1, 2 KOs). Barriga, a native of Panabo City, Davao del Norte, was cut on his right eye by an accidental headbutt, causing the referee to stop the fight at the 1:25 mark and send the fight to the scorecards.
Bantamweight Kenny Demecillo (12-3-2, 7 KOs) won a 10-round unanimous decision over Jestoni Autida (9-6, 4 KOs) by the scores of 97-93 on all 3 cards. Junior flyweight Christian Araneta (13-0, 11 KOs) scored a seventh round knockout of Philip Luis Cuerdo (9-3-1, 4 KOs) at the 1:06 mark.
