The Filipino thus improved his win-loss record to an unblemished 11-0.

Yoo, meanwhile, dropped to 6-2.

Meanwhile, Mexican slugger Juan Manuel Marquez arrived in Manila Sunday morning to watch he Invasion fights.

Marquez, who last saw action against Manny Pacquiao on March 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada, arrived on a flight with Freddie Roach, the Filipino ring icon's coach and trainer.

The Mexican boxer said he was invited to watch the Invasion matches.

According to Marquez, he is willing to climb up the weight division to 135 pounds to face Pacquiao again. Pacquiao, reports said, is planning to step up the 135-lb class after claiming the WBC super feather weight belt from the Mexican. With a report from Dennis Gasgonia
