Gabriel Santisima upsets Murata to claim WBO Asia Pacific crown

Gabriel Santisima shocked previously unbeaten Subaru Murata to capture the WBO Asia Pacific super bantamweight title via unanimous decision on Saturday night at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

The 21-year-old Filipino fighter from ZipSanman Boxing handed Murata his first professional loss in a high-energy 10-round bout. Murata entered the fight with a perfect 10-0 record, with all of his victories coming by knockout.

Santisima set the tone early, pressing forward with sharp jabs and straight left hands in the opening rounds. Murata mounted a comeback midway through the fight, finding success with counterattacks in rounds four to six.

The momentum swung decisively in Santisima’s favor at the end of the sixth round when he landed a clean left hand that sent Murata to the canvas. From there, Santisima maintained control through the championship rounds, outworking the Japanese champion until the final bell.

All three judges scored the contest in favor of Santisima, awarding him a unanimous decision victory and the regional title.

With the win, Santisima improved his record to 10 wins against one loss, including seven knockouts. The triumph positions the rising Filipino contender for bigger opportunities on the international stage. (AC)
