Genesis Servania floors Indonesian foe in first PH bout since 2015
The 26-year-old pummels Indonesia's Jason Butar Butar from the get-go before delivering the finishing blow in the 5th round

MANILA, Philippines – In his first fight in the Philippines since 2015, Genesis Servania delighted his countrymen with his punching power. 

Servania (31-1-0, 14 knockouts) decked Indonesia’ Jason Butar Butar (27-24-1, 18 KOs) in the 5th round of their Survival Instinct: Matira Matibay featherweight bout at the SM City North EDSA Skydome on Sunday, May 13. 

Aggressive from the get-go, the 26-year-old unleashed a nasty left shot to the body that left Butar Butar grimacing in pain with 56 seconds left in the 5th round. 


“Kashimi,” who challenged for the World Boxing Organization featherweight title last year, already scored a knockdown in the same round before delivering the finishing blow on Butar Butar. 

Earlier, Marvin Sonsona returned from a 3-year hiatus and pulled off a 6-round unanimous decision win over Indonesia’s Arief Blader. – Rappler.com
