Hannan Stops Hernandez in One, Rullo Beats Jurland
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
The continuing mockery of overmatched Filipinos bloating up to fight bigger Australians at their natural weights continues.
The latest results from the Racecourse Reception Center in Moonee Valley , Victoria indicate that three Filipinos lost to their Australian opponents while at the Southport RSL Club in Queensland another Filipino was knocked out by an Aussie fighter who was making his pro debut in a welterweight bout.
Boxrec reports that 20 year old southpaw Casey “Cyclone” Hannan apparently blew away 27 year old Manila-born Mhelvin Hernandez in the very first round after dropping Hernandez twice.
It was the sixth straight loss by Hernandez with five coming by way of knockouts in a total of eleven rounds sending his record to a miserable 1-8 with no knockouts.
At Moonee Valley , 24 year old light middleweight Pat Rullo won an eight round decision over Jurland who has a record of 6-17-1 with 3 knockouts and suffered his 13th straight loss. Ceniza was knocked out in one round by Ramie Laput, his world-rated countryman in Davao on November 4, 2007. Rullo’s record improved to 8-1 with 1 knockout.
Mark Quon, the 30 year old Australian super bantamweight who is ranked No.2 in the Fight Game rankings won a six round decision over Roel Mangan to improve his record to 6-2 with 1 knockouts while Mangan dropped to 13-12-1 with 3 knockouts.
21 year old Australian champion Daniel “Baby Face” Iannazzo won a six round decision over veteran Flash Villacura who not surprisingly suffered his eighth straight loss to bring his record down to 22-22-1 with 11 knockouts while Iannazzo remained undefeated at 12-0 with 1 knockout.
The only saving grace in another evening of embarrassing defeats was the 3rd round technical draw in a four round light welterweight bout between Ariel Barotillo (2-0-2, 2 KO’s) and Tom Szeremi who was making his pro debut.
