Pedro Taduran successfully defended his International Boxing Federation (IBF) world minimumweight title for the fourth consecutive time after defeating Spain’s Brandon Moreno via unanimous decision on Sunday, Nov. 8, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The Filipino champion dominated much of the 12-round bout with powerful body shots and left punches despite suffering a cut above his left eyebrow.
All three judges favored Taduran, with two scoring the fight 115-113 and the other giving him a clean sweep of all 12 rounds.
The victory improved Taduran’s record to 21 wins, four losses, and one draw, while handing Moreno his first career defeat after 16 consecutive victories.
The 30-year-old fighter from Libon, Albay, continued his aggressive attack in the championship rounds, with his body punches wearing down the Spanish challenger to secure the win.
