PETALCORIN ADDS AUSTRALIAN AWARD TO HIS ?BOXER OF THE YEAR? ACCOLADE AT THE ?FLASH? ELORDE ANNUAL BANQUET OF CHAMPIONS By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 23 Mar 2015  WBA light flyweight Interim champion Randy ?Razor? Petalcorin has won an award from the Australian National Boxing Federation for winning the title last year in Shanghai, China with a rousing 7th round TKO over Panama?s Walter Tello. Petalcorin?s award was accepted on his behalf by his co-manager and multi-titled Australian promoter Peter Maniatis who thanked Ultratune CEO Sean Buckley and the Sanman Gym of the Manangquil brothers of General Santos City. Petalcorin and IBO light flyweight champion Rey Loreto who scored a brutal 1st round knockout in a rematch with South Africa?s former world champion Nkosinathi Joyi on Sunday will be honored as the ?Boxers of the Year? for 2014 at the prestigious ?Flash? Elorde Annual Awards on Wednesday. The 23 year old Filipino southpaw has a record of 22-1-1 with 17 knockouts and is coming off back-to-back TKO victories over Thailand?s Samransak Singmanasak. Petalcorin won via 3rd round TKO to capture the Pan Asia Boxing Association title on November 8, 2013 when referee Tony Moretta called a halt at 1:14 of the round to save Singmanasak from further punishment while in a rematch on March 28, 2014 Petalcorin won by a 2nd round TKO in a scheduled ten round bout with referee Chris Anderson stopping the bout at 1:04 of the round. Petalcorin is scheduled to defend his title in Beijing on April 24 against China?s Ma Yi Ming, the 34 year old southpaw slugger with a record of 12-5 with 7 knockouts. Ma Yi Ming has won nine straight fights after his 1st round TKO loss in a scheduled eight round bout against Filipino Jonathan Baat who fights out of Japan on August 29, 2010 in a fight card in Ishikawa. Among the Chinese boxer?s victims was Filipino Albert Alcoy over whom he scored a 5th round TKO on December 22, 2012 when Alcoy suffered an injury. Maniatis told the New Standard/Viva Sports that Ma Yi Ming started his career as a super bantamweight and ?fought really well to beat a good boxer in Tommy Seran? by a ten round unanimous decision in his last fight on December 16, 2014. The Indonesian Seran had a record of 24-3 with `5 knockouts when he entered the ring against the Chinese in Shanghai.
