Arjan "Spartan" Canillas has scored a stunning, lopsided ten round decision over Philippine lightweight champion Rey Labao at a fight card held in the Davao Civic Center, yesterday.

Arnie Najera had Canillas ahead 97-92, Teddy Alivio 96-93 and Edwin Barrientos 98-91.
With the win Canillas improved to 12-0- 2 with 9 knockouts while Labao drops to 27-8 with 18 knockouts.

Canillas was coming off two noteworthy stoppage wins this year having forced Balweg Bangoyan to reture in the 4th round of a scheduled ten round bout on June 6 and earlier scoring a 4th round knockout of Indonesia’s Stevie Ferdinandus in a scheduled  eight round b out last February 7.

Labao, on the other hand, dropped a unanimous twelve round decision in an IBO Intercontinental welterweight title bout against Rico Mueller last June 12 in Germany after registering a 2nd round TKO over Japan’s Masao Nakamura in Osaka last December 12, 2014.
