MONTIEL RETAINS CROWN OVER GORREZ BY SPLIT DECISION
Fernando Montiel retained his WBO superfly title with a somewhat controversial split decision over Filipino Z 'The Dream' Gorres.
Raul Caiz scored the bout 115-111 for Montiel, Denny Nelson penned it 115-111 for Gorres, while Chuck Giampa saw it 114-112 for Montiel.

Bautista Stops Mexican Gonzales in round 3
Undefeated Boholano Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista continued his undefeated streak, stopping Mexican Marino Montiel Gonzalez in the third round of their scheduled 12-rounder in Cebu City last a few minutes.
Bautista unleashed a huge left to the midsection in the third, sending Gonzalez down on his knees for good as referee Bruce McTavish tolled the count and waived off the fight.
In the first, Bautista scored an early knockdown with a big right that sent Gonzalez on his knees for the first time.
By the second, a confident Bautista continued to press the attack, although the Mexican countered with shots of his own to somehow keep himself in the fight.
The win improved Bautista's unblemished record to 22 wins, no loss with 17 KO's, and lines him up for a big May 5 bout with Argentina's Sergio Mediana in a 12-round WBO superbantam title eliminator.
"I am very thankful to the support. See you on May 5," said Bautista in an interview with the media after the fight, referring to the huge 'The World Awaits' card featuring Oscar De la Hoya against Floyd Mayweather Jr. where he is fighting on the undercard.
Golden Boy Promotions international matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz, in an interview, said that De la Hoya himself had personally picked Bautista to be included in the card, and up to this writing, only the Filipino star is a lock for the card.
AJ BANAL ANOTHER SPECTACULAR WIN OVER THAI Lukkuongmuekol
AJ "Bazooka" Banal registered another spectacular knockout win after he made short work of Thai visitor Komrit Lukkuongmuekol during last night's 'Moment of Truth' boxing event at Cebu City Sports Complex here.
Banal (12-0-1 10 KOs), who stopped ten of his 12 victims inside the distance, disposed Komrit (15-3-0 11 KOs) in 2:11 of the first round with a vicious left that sent the Thai sprawling to the canvas and stayed their for a good few minutes after failing to beat the count.
Komrit, also known as 3K Battery Eveready Gym, is himself a dangerous knockout artist having stopped 11 of his 15 victims, 8 of them Filipinos including Banal's stablemate Sherwin Paro. Paro, fighting Komrit on Sep. 2003, had racked 11 successive wins by then including 8 knockouts and was looked up as Cebu's fast rising prospect when he was stopped by Komrit in the 5th round.
Thus 'Bazooka' Banal avenged Paro's loss and continues to blast the opposition amazingly against a very tough lineup which was thrown at his very young career. The 18-year-old Banal have now battled and disposed 5 Thais and 2 Indonesians, knocking all of them out except one.
Banal sports a solid defensive stance which is very hard to penetrate in addition to an awesome one-punch KO power from both hands and a highly technical boxing and counter-punching abilities.
Golden Boy Promotions Vice-President Eric Gomez, watching at ringside, disclosed after the fight that he will work for Banal to fight in the undercard of the Oscar de la Hoya-Floyd Mayweather superfight on May 5 in Las Vegas.
Matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz, on the other hand, said that Banal might fight for a world title as early as this year.
In the night's second bout, Bai Elorde looked impressive in a four-round unanimous decision over a taller Joseph Mateo. All three judges saw the bout 40-36 for a one-sided win.
