Filipino rising prospect Romero Duno (15-1-0, 13KOs) won by unanimous decision over veteran Juan Pablo Sanchez (30-14-0, 14KOs) of Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico in their 8-round lightweight bout at The Forum in Inglewood, California Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) on the undercard of the Jorge Linares vs Luke Campbell WBA world lightweight championship promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

Judges scores: Rudy Barragan, 78-74; Pat Russell, 78-74; Fernando Villarreal 78-74.

This is Duno's second victory in the United States after his stunning second round knockout victory over previously unbeaten Christian Gonzalez last March 10 at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles.
