UV's Muaña stops stablemate in less than two minutes

CEBU, Philippines - Mardie Muaña of the University of the Visayas (UV) fought as if he has a hidden anger against his teammate Dann Lou Codilla as he relentlessly threw a barrage of punches that led to stoppage before the end of the first round during the final action for October of the Summit Natural Drinking Water Amateur Fight Series at the Gaisano Countrymall carpark.

Muaña stopped Codilla at the 1:47 mark of the opening round in their 56 kgs. due.
