MANILA, Philippines — Filipino Stephen Loman hacked out a fourth-round technical knockout of Algerian Elias Boudegzdame to retain the bantamweight title in the Brave 22: Storm of Warriors at the MOA Arena in Pasay Friday night. That sent Loman to his third successful title defense, seventh straight victory and 13th overall against two defeats while dealing Boudegzdame his fifth setback against 15 triumphs. “We still have the belt here,” said Loman to the delight of the crowd. In the other main card, Rolando Dy, son of former boxing champion Rolando Navarette, vowed a first-round knockout win and delivered one against Pakistani Mehmosh Raza. Curtains fell when Dy unleashed a straight that sent Raza’s mouthpiece flying, prompting the referee to stop the fight at 4:01.
