At the Pangsuma Sports Hall in West Borneo, Indonesia, Daud “Cino” Yordan (24-0, 18KOs) stopped Robert Allanic (17-6-2, 9KOs) in two rounds to capture the interim WBO Oriental featherweight title. After landing several good power punches in the first, Yordan dropped Allanic from several big right hands in the second, and finished him a few moments later with a shot to the body for the full count.

The fight was the first for Yordan since his two round no-decision with Robert Guerrero in March. Yordan was handling himself well when a clash of heads opened up a cut on Guerrero, who told ring doctors that he was unable to see out of his eye due to flow of blood and the fight was stopped. Yordan has been calling for a rematch with Guerrero and also wants a shot at countryman Chris John, the WBA champion.
