In some world title action in the lighter weight classes earlier on – results and the stoppage video are now in from boxing today in The Philippines.
Felix Alvarado claimed the vacant IBF light-flyweight title today by TKO at the Midas Hotel and Casino, Pasay City over Filipino Randy Petalcorin.
Here’s the moment it went down:

Alvarado-Acosta would be a dream matchup.

Congrats to the new world champion on his victory today in a fight that really went under the radar this afternoon, despite the bout being for a world title.
