OMEGA Boxing Gym’s prized stalwart Jhack Tepora snatched the vacant WBO Oriental super bantamweight title via a fifth-round technical knockout win over Indonesian Galih Susanto in the main event of “Who’s Next?” Pro-Boxing Series 3 Friday night at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.

Tepora (19W-0L-0D-13KOs) floored Susanto in 2:30 mark of the fifth. Referee Tony Pesons didn’t bother count as Susanto struggled to get up.
