CHARLY Suarez again proved he’s a cut above the competition after one-sided unanimous decision victory over experienced former regional champion Carlo Magali in the main event of “Ultimate Knockout Challenge: Battlefield” on Oct. 23 at The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex in Parañaque City.
Suarez, a former Olympian, totally outclassed the veteran Magali and got the nod of all three judges with scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 119-109.
Suarez successfully defended his World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia and Philippine GAB super featherweight titles.
The 34-year-old Suarez continued his hot streak in the pro ranks and improved to 13-0 with seven knockouts, while Magali dropped to 25-14-3 with 13 knockouts.
Suarez is currently rated No. 37 by the World Boxing Council (WBC).
In the main supporting bout, Marjohn Yap (31-17, 15 KOs) ended a four-fight losing slump after beating Papuan prospect Junior Raka (2-2, 1 KO) by unanimous decision.
Yap ensured his victory after knocking down Raka in the eighth and final round.
