DINDO Castañares has failed to meet expectations when he suffered a knock out loss in a grudge match against Japanese prospect Daigoro Yamamoto, on Sunday in Osaka, Japan.
The Japanese No. 3 contender took a vicious right cross and came off the canvas in the third round, exchanged hard punches with the 24-year old Filipino puncher, who is rated by the OPBF as the No. 2 super lightweight, until he landed a well-timed countering right hand punch to the visitor.
Castanares, a native of Inayawan in Cebu, decked the floor and picked himself up with rubbery legs, downed again until referee declared the fight was over at 2:58 of the seventh round in a scheduled 10.
