IBF No. 5 ranked featherweight Bill “The Kid” Dib of Australia has scored a 4th round knockout over the Philippines Jack Asis at the Entertainment Center in Wollongong, New South Wales.
Dib who dropped a twelve round unanimous decision to WBO featherweight champion Steven Luevano on October 18, 2008 before Luevano lost the title by a 7th round TKO to Juan Manuel”Juanma” Lopez on January 23 this year was far too good for the 28 year old Asis whose record fell to a poor 21-18-4 with 10 knockouts.
Dib, the reigning IBF Pan Pacific champion improved to 29-1 with 17 knockouts.
It was Dib’s fifth straight KO victory this year. In his last fight on September 2, the Australian scored a 6th round TKO over Argentine southpaw Ceferino Dario Labarda who was dropped towards the end of round five with a solid body shot and didn’t answer the bell for the sixth.
