By Miguel Maravilla at ringside
Undefeated Filipino featherweight Mark Magsayo (23-0, 16 KOs) scored a huge knockout over former world champion Julio Ceja (32-5-1, 28 KOs) of Mexico in a WBC title eliminator. Seconds into the fight, a flush left hook to the kisser by the Filipino Magsayo dropped Ceja. Letting his hands go in the second, Magsayo displayed the hand speed and boxed as Ceja pressed. In the third, Ceja attacked inside attacking the body and connecting with short hooks up top. Ceja continued to attack on the inside in round four as he appeared to slow down Magsayo’s groove.
Staying close in the fifth, Ceja continued to attack Magsayo as he appeared to slow down the Filipino’s pace knocking him down in the final seconds. In the sixth, Ceja stayed on top of Magsayo cutting off the ring and going downstairs to the body. Momentum appeared to be going Ceja’s way past the halfway point in the seventh as he continued to chop down the Filipino. Magsayo stuck the jab and kept his distance as the Mexican continued to stalk and work his way inside digging the body.
Ceja continued to press in the ninth with hard shots as Magsayo kept boxing from a distance. Magsayo attacked early to start the tenth, a huge right knocked Ceja out cold. The referee immediately waved off the fight at 50 seconds of the tenth.
