Flash Elorde 130 lbs beat Love Allotey 128 lbs by DQ in round 11 of 15

"Flash Elorde of Manila retained his junior lightweight title Saturday when the referee disqualified challenger Love Allotey for repeated fouling in their scheduled 15 round championship bout. Referee Jaime Valencia stopped the fight in the 11th round after taking numerous points away from Allotey for fouling. He finally called a halt after :36 seconds of the round when Allotey hit Elorde on the break for the fourth or fifth time. At times the fight threatened to turn into a brawl. Maddened by the challenger's butting, heeling, elbowing and hitting on the break, Elorde tried to slug it out but Allotey never backed up. He just stood his ground and flailed away without caution or guidance." -Associated Press
