Duno eyes KO against Thai
GENERAL SANTOS CITY — Romero "Dynamite" Duno is eyeing for a knockout win against his Thai opponent Paiboon Lorkam in their upcoming title-fight for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council super featherweight title on September 10 at the Tupi Municipal Gym in Tupi, South Cotabato.
Duno, a native of General Santos City, wants to score a knockout to make sure that he will get the vacant title in front of his fans.
The 20-year-old Duno is toting 10 wins with only one loss, while 37-year-old Lorkam has a record of 16 wins against eight losses.
"We need to score an impressive victory over the tough Thai Fighter, a knockout would be perfect" said new Sanman trainer Dodong Desabille.
Duno won his last fight via a third round stoppage over veteran Eusebio Baluarte at the Gaisano Mall Gensan last June 26.
Duno's only loss was a unanimous decision from the hands of Mikhail Alexeev for the vacant WBO Youth super featherweight title last May 6 at the DIVS Ekaterinburg in Russia.
"I'm thankful of the opportunity that sanman promotions has gave me. I will try my best to knockout my opponent," said Duno.
The Duno-Lorkam title-fight is one of the double WBC Asia championship dubbed as the "Battle in Tupi" presented by the Sanman Promotions.
