RIVETING INSIDE STORY OF DACQUEL?S IBO INT?L TITLE FIGHT VICTORY ON ?THE MAIN EVENT?-PBO-SKY CABLE, SATURDAY AT 8:30 P.M. By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 04 Sep 2015  Get a riveting inside look at what young Rene Dacquel went through in his International Boxing Organization International super flyweight title victory in East London, South Africa on ?The Main Event? over Pinoy Box Office (PBO) on Sky Cable this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. Hardly ever has a Filipino boxer taken the long and grueling flight to South Africa and returned home a winner. But the 24 year old Dacquel who was befriended by a Filipino who has lived in South Africa for over 30 years and looked after him and well-known matchmaker Art Monis who accompanied the former Philippine super flyweight champion during their stay. Dacquel reveals a fascinating story of how, after he lost his title to Jonas Sultan because he had hardly trained, he was determined to go to South Africa and beat the odds against the bigger South African champion Thembelani Nxoshe and trained himself for the challenge, running up the hills of Antipolo until his legs ached and he ran out of breath. Four weeks of hard training was, along with his faith in God, the key to his victory where he dropped the South African champion three times although the referee ruled the third clear knockdown a slip en route to a split decision victory that was an affront to fight fans who cheered the Filipino.
