Professional career[edit]

Early career[edit]

During Loreto's early days at professional boxing, Loreto took a journeyman approach, dealing with four decision losses before prevailing against Benjie Bartolome via stoppage.

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.[1]

Loreto vs. Kokietgym[edit]

Just 2 months after falling short against Tor Chalermchai, Loreto faced another undefeated Thai prospect Paipharob Kokietgym, this time for the PABA belt, Kokietgym would make Loreto taste his first knockout-loss with Loreto being defeated in the second round of their scheduled 12-rounder bout.[2]

Loreto vs. Chimsunthom[edit]

A Loreto who just came from 4 losses streak tried again for a PABA championship, now at light flyweight division, against veteran Phissanu Chimsunthom whom had a record of 38–7–2, this time is different, Loreto pulled off a huge upset despite seeming like a huge underdog, pulling off a KO victory in the middle of the 12-rounder bout.[3]

Loreto vs. Alolod 2[edit]

After facing Chimsunthom, Loreto would take a sudden approach of fighting Journymen and was able to compose a better and new record of 16–12, latest fight being a TKO victory against journeyman Sherwin McDo Lungay, on March 16, 2013, Loreto would have a rematch against Benezer Alolod for Alolod's WBC International light flyweight title, the fight ended in a Technical decision attributable to an accidental headbutt occurring that caused a cut on Loreto's eyebrow, the fight ended in a split decision victory for Alolod (67–66, 68-65 and 66–67).[4]

Loreto vs. Joyi 1 and 2[edit]

Prior to the Alolod defeat, Loreto would pull off another upset against Thai Pornsawan Porpramook via technical decision victory, subsequently, Loreto would earn a title shot from the minor yet rather famous world boxing organization, International Boxing Organization, for the vacant IBO strap at light flyweight division against skilled Nkosinathi Joyi at Monte-Carlo Sporting, Monaco under the Golovkin-Osumano card,[5] Loreto would pull off another set-back upset as he made the referee jump in and halt the contest, stopping Joyi in the 3rd round, prevailing victorious, earning the IBO world title, ending up a contender for the KO of the Year for the year 2014.[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 vs. CP Freshmart[edit]

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.[10] Unfortunately, Loreto falters in bid as he went down in the 10th round en route to a unanimous decision loss, Loreto who was once called a Thai killer experienced a loss against a Thai foe, which he hasn't for a long time.[11]

Retirement[edit]

After losing to CP Freshmart, Loreto knocked out two more opponents before fighting the subsequent one of the world champion of Japan, Ginjiro Shigeoka for the WBO Asia Pacific mini flyweight title, Loreto who sought to make one great final blow for his career, falls short as Shigeoka overpowered him with a dominant power, ending in an eye-catching left cross KO loss in the fifth round, second KO loss for Loreto and fifth victory for Shigeoka, afterwards,[12] Loreto would later retire.[13]
