By Ronnie Nathanielsz
Two Filipinos have lost in regional title fights staged in Thailand with Jack Asis suffering a 5th round knockout at the hands of Terdsak Jandaeng and Richard Olisa dropping an 8th round technical decision to Sod Looknonngyangtoy.
The 28 year old southpaw Jandaeng who lost a twelve round unanimous decision to WBO featherweight champion Steven Luevano on March 15, 2008 knocked out Asis in round five to win the WBC Asian Boxing Council interim super featherweight title and improve his record to 35-3-1 with 22 knockouts.
Five of Jandaeng’s last six wins were against Filipino boxers. With the loss Asis, according to boxrec.com dropped to 20-12-4 with 10 knockouts.
In a battle of southpaws Sod Looknongyangtoy handed Olisa his fifth straight defeat raising questions as to how he secured authority from the Games and Amusements Board to fight abroad when there is a rule which states a fighter must win at least two of his last five fights to be cleared to fight abroad.
Olisa fell to 18-91-1 with 11 knockouts according to boxrec.con while Looknongyangtoy improved to 43-2-1 with 18 knockouts.
The 32 year old Thai fighter retained his WBO Asia Pacific super bantamweight title with the win.
