BOOM!


Boom! - perfect word to describe the explosive performance of future boxing superstar Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista as he destroyed Brazilian champion Giovanni Andrade who was forced to surrender and not come out for the 4th round in the scheduled ten round fight.

According to Andrade, “he hit me with too many body shots and every time they landed I felt like I was stabbed.” The referee said the corner advised him that Andrade “could no longer continue.” The TV commentator said Andrade “is wincing like those body shots did a number and maybe his ribs are bothering him” and added that Andrade’s ribs may have been damaged by the powerful body shots of Bautista.

This fourth round TKO improved Bautista’s record to 21-0 with 16 knockouts. Since he's only 20 years old, the future looks bright for Boom Boom. The Boholano is touted as the next Manny Pacquiao and with this explosive performance, that status is very much attainable.

Moreover, when Pacquiao probably after a few more years, at least Bautista is still there to carry the Philippine flag and make the whole country proud. We're gonna see more of him soon!
