By Agnes Winarti, The Jakarta Post - Promising Indonesian boxer Daud Yordan fell to his first defeat after being dominated by Panama’s more experienced Celestino Caballero in a featherweight duel at the Bank Atlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida, on Sunday. Daud entered the bout with 25 victories, 19 by way of knockout. Caballero, who ranks third in the world in the featherweight division, below Indonesia’s Chris John and Puerto Rico’s Juan Manuel Lopez, won by unanimous decision 119-108, 120-107, and 118-108. “His lack of experience was clear as Daud failed to launch what should have been varying punches. Caballero toyed with him,” Hengky Silatang, the head of the Indonesian Amateur Boxing Association’s (PERTINA) technical division, said of the fight. Rated 34th in the world in the featherweight division, Daud was floored twice by Caballero’s right uppercut at the end of both of the first two rounds. Daud, with a height of 170 centimeters and a 165 centimeter reach, landed some rare shots, but Caballero piled up points through the 12-round duel, taking advantage of his 180-centimeter height and 185-centimeter reach, which enabled Caballero to stay outside Daud’s reach. The 34th win marked Caballero’s first foray in the featherweight class (57.2 kilograms). He was the former world champion in the super-bantamweight class (55.3 kilograms) with 32 wins and two losses. In July, Caballero will next face World Boxing Association (WBA) champion Yuriorkis Gamboa. The Cuban boxer ranks fourth in the world.

Hengky said Daud, who is based in Ketapang, West Kalimatan, ideally should have spent more time preparing in Florida, saying that jet lag may have been a factor as he only departed from Indonesia on Monday. Daud had been touted as the most promising boxer, following in the footsteps of Chris John, currently the world’s top featherweight boxer. Daud, who shot to fame when he knocked out Reman Salim of the Philippines to win the World Boxing Organization Asia-Pacific Youth featherweight title in 2007, recorded his best performance so far as the interim WBO Oriental featherweight titlist after knocking out Philippino Robert Allanic in just two rounds last year.
