VETERAN Korean boxer Yong Soo Choi landed solid jabs to damage the left eye of Filipino fighter Nelson Tinampay en route to a 10^th round technical knockout victory in their interim WBC Eurasia Pacific Boxing Council lightweight title fight held Sunday at the Hilton Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.

The 44-year old Yong, a former WBA World super featherweight champion, started damaging Tinampay’s left eye with his jabs in the 5^th round already.

“Lumaki na masyado yung bukol sa mata ni Nelson sa 10^th round kaya ito pinahinto ng referee upon the recommendation of the ring physician,” said Filipino international matchmaker Brico Santig in his text message.

Santig of Highland Promotions accompanied the 24-year old Tinampay and his trainer Victor Man-on in Seoul in behalf of manager Leonil Lazarito of Bukidnon.

Tinampay, a native of Bohol suffered only his third loss against 11 wins, 1 draw and 5 knockouts.

Yong (31-41-21 KOs) was in-active in boxing for 13 years after losing by a unanimous decision to Thailand’s Sirimongkhon Iamthuam in their battle for the WBC World super featherweight title held Jan. 13, 2003 in Tokyo, Japan.

Yong made a successful comeback last April 16 by stopping Japanese Kazuya Nakano via an 8^th round TKO at the Hoseo High School in Dangin, South Korea.

“Malakas pa rin sumuntok yung Koreano,” said Santig.
