by Ronnie Nathanielsz

Filipino Jack Asis who now fights out of Fairfield in New South Wales, Australia,  has scored a big win in a light welterweight bout over previously undefeated Brett William “Handful” Smith at the Sands Tavern in Queensland.

Asis, a super featherweight who entered the ring with an unimpressive record of 21-18-4 with 11 knockouts scored a stunning eight round TKO with referee Alan Moore stopping the fight at 1:05 of the round after Asis dropped Smith twice in round eight.

He had earlier also dropped Smith twice in the very first round.

It was Smith’s first defeat after 9 wins and 1 draw with 5 knockouts.

Smith is the Australian lightweight champion. He won the title last September 10 with a unanimous ten round decision over Jason Crowe.
