PH’s Romero Duno outpoints Mexican foe in lightweight bout

Filipino lightweight Romero Duno continued his winning ways after beating Gilberto Gonzalez of Mexico Friday (Manila time) in the main event of the Golden Boy on ESPN card at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.

Duno won by unanimous decision, outpointing Gonzalez in their 10-round bout, 97-93, 97-93, 98-92.

The 22-year-old Duno has now won his last eight fights, including a second-round knockout over erstwhile unbeaten Christian Gonzalez in March of last year.

Duno took control early before asserting himself even more in the latter rounds, where a worn-down Gonzalez had no answer.

Duno improved its record to 17-1, 14 knockouts while Gonzalez, who has won 22 of his 26 fights by stoppage, absorbed his fifth loss.
