Sunday, February 5, 2012

AFTER dropping the biggest fight of his career, prospect Jason Canoy bounced back with a stoppage win over veteran Along Denoy last Saturday night at the New Dalaguete Sports Complex in Dalaguete, Cebu.

Canoy was awarded with a technical knockout win in the sixth round after Denoy suffered a deep gash.

Canoy, who is off a seventh-round stoppage loss to former world champion Oleydong Sithsamerchai last year, improved to 13-2-1 with nine knockouts, while Denoy dropped to 32-10-4 with 19 knockouts.

In the undercard, promising young talent Boyce Sultan (6-1, 4 KOs) suffered his first defeat after being stopped by Joash Apericio (8-6, 6 KOs).

Sultan didn’t come out of the seventh round of the scheduled eight-round fight.

ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer told Sun.Star Cebu that they were forced to order trainer Peter Cuizon to waive the fight off because the 18-year-old Sultan was too weak to continue because he was fighting a fever.

Arjan Canillas (4-0-1, 3 KOs) remained unbeaten with a fifth-round technical knockout over Rodel Wenceslao (4-3).

The 18-year-old Canillas sent Wenceslao to the canvas with a huge overhand right. He followed it up with vicious combinations of blows that forced the referee to end the bout.
