Bout Summary
- Referee Pelegrino declared that the cut suffered by Eric Macas in the 5th round was caused by a headbutt. A review of the tape of the fight which was covered for ABS CBN Studio 23, however, showed that no clash of heads happened prior to the stoppage of the fight. Manny Pinol, who owns Braveheart Boxing Club to which Villanueva belongs, said he will ask his lawyer to file a petition before GAB to ask for the reversal of the decision based on the videotape of the fight.
