Filipino scores bizarre KO over Indonesian in Pacquiao-Rios curtain raiser

Filipino boxer Harmonito dela Torre scored a third-round knockout over Indonesian Jason Butar-Butar in the non-televised undercard of the Pacquiao-Rios headliner Sunday at the Cotai Arena at The Venetian in Macau.

Dela Torre (11-0, 6 KOs) connected on an uppercut before a push sent the Indonesian laying flat on his back in a bizarre ending.

The referee initially waive off a knockdown before changing his mind as Butar-Butar (15-12-1, 11 KOs) stayed down on the canvass and couldn’t beat the count – ending the bout at the 1:23 mark of Round 3.
