Rey Loreto

Loreto amassed a record that would make him look like a rather "Tomato can" opponent of 8 victories and 7 defeats (8–7) before fighting an undefeated Thai prospect and subsequent world title-challenger, Yodgoen Tor Chalermchai/Yodgoen CP Freshmart for the WBC Youth mini flyweight title which he had a close fight against, with all the judges scoring 96-94 for Yodgoen Tor Chalermchai.

[6][7] Loreto made a tune-up fight against Indonesia Heri Amol before defending his IBO strap against Joyi once again, on March 23, 2015, like before, Loreto stops Joyi again, this time on Joyi's hometown crowd swiftly, ending in the first round,[8] however, an incident would happen as a South African boxing promoter would fails to pay him the $42,000 prize, over a course of 17 days, Loreto and GAB would file a complaint.

[9] Loreto would let go of his IBO title and moved down weight, fighting a more less experienced boxers, two of which are debutants, however his rankings on WBA are still high, eventually, he earned a shot against the Regular WBA mini flyweight champion Knockout CP Freshmart at Chonburi City Hall Ground, Thailand, his biggest and most challenging fight yet.
