 (Bai Elorde vs Musa Letding)

Gabriel “Flash” Elorde’s two grandsons Juan Martin and Juan Miguel Elorde triumph over tough Indonesians at Sofitel Luxury Hotel in Pasay City Philippines.

Juan Martin “Bai” Elorde moves up in lightweight and claims the previously vacant WBO Oriental lightweight title after beating tough Indonesian Musa Letding by a onesided Unanimous Decision.
Bai clearly was the stronger and the more aggressot throughout and was in control. Letding attempted to fight back with wild punches but he had trouble passing Bai’s counter. The fight became a little bit bloody because of Bai Elorde’s cut on the left eye due to headclash in middle rounds. In the 10th and final round Bai Elorde give all his remaining power to score a knockout but the Indonesian boxer is too tough and slick for the late Knock out.

In the undercard the younger of Elorde brothers Juan Miguel “The Boss” Elorde retains WBO Asia Pacific Jr Featherweight title with a Unanimous Decision over Waldo Sabu. The Boss is in charge all the way though Sabu had his moments scoring with some straight punches and odd flurry. Juan Martin landed  more accurate and clearer power punches throughout the fight.

Another Elorde boxers who fought in the card were the reigning WBC International flyweight champion Giemel “Pistolero” Magramo scored 4th round TKO victory over Indonesian John Bajawa. Japanese Kenta Ide  who knock Gebby Managao out in 3rd round, and the most brutal fight of the night between Raymond Yanon and Raymond dela Cruz ending in a 4 rounds Majoriy Draw.
