Pinoy boxer Jeffrey Galero fails in world title bid

Misamis Oriental native Jeffrey Galero was soundly beaten in his first world title attempt against WBC world minimumweight champion Wanheng Menayothin on Thursday at Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.

After a cautious start in the opening round, Menayothin began taking over from round three onwards- reconstructing Galero's face in the process.

The 24-year-old Filipino never found a way to answer the Menayothin puzzle as he failed to impress over the course of twelve rounds en route to a unanimous decision defeat.

Galero recorded his first loss dropping to 11-1 with 5 knockouts while Menayothin improved his unbeaten record to 37-0 with 12 knockouts. - RAF, GMA News
