Saludar takes WBO belt
Undefeated Froilan “The Sniper” Saludar stopped Remuel Obidos in the opening round to annex the WBO Asia Pacific Youth flyweight title in Imus, Cavite, late Saturday.
The end came at 2:26 of the opening round.
Right from the opening bell, the 21-year-old Saludar wasted no time in using his left jab to rip through the defense of Obidos, hurting him a couple of times with solid combinations before a devastating right hook dropped the 19-year-old Obidos to the canvas.
Saludar improved his record to 9-0-1 with 6 knockouts while his hapless foe dropped to 7-3-1 with 2 knockouts.
In other fights, WBO Oriental super flyweight champion John Mark Apolinario was held to a 10-round majority draw by rugged Arman Casa while Carlo “The Golden Boy” Suello scored a first-round knockout of Anthony Balubar.
