TABUGON WINS PBF SUPER FLYWEIGHT CROWN BY 5TH ROUND KO


PhilBoxing.com




GENERAL Santos City --- Raymond ?Tornado? Tabugon landed powerful bodyshots and head blows to force Renante Suacasa to quit in the 5th round in their championship fight for the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super flyweight crown on Wednesday night at the open field in T?boli, South Cotabato.

The 28-year old Suacasa turned his back after Tabugon continued to hurt him with left-right combinations with still 1:36 left in the 5th round.

Referee Alberto Hamili ? asked Suacasa if he will quit already. The stubborn boxer from Koronadal City answered him: ?Sa inyoha na lang nang korona!?

Suacasa, who immediately went down the ring and left the venue together with his team, suffered his 16th defeat against seven wins.

The 24-year old Tabugon improved his record to 18 wins with 8 knockouts, 4 losses and 1 draw.

?Mas beterano siya sa akua pero mas naunahan nako siya permi ug igo,? (He?s more veteran than me but I was able to hit him first) said Tabugon, a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental and IBO Inter-continental light flyweight champion,

Suacasa suffered a cut on his right eyebrow due to an accidental headbutt in the second round. In the 3rd round, Tabugon landed solid body shots and a left cross on the head.

In the next round, Tabugon continued to hurt Suacasa, who was also downed after an accidental low blow.

After he was given a 5-minute rest period, Suacasa was hit on the midsection by Tabugon?s jab. Suacasa tried to clinch on Tabugon and was saved by the bell.

In the 5th round, Tabugon continued to attack against Suacasa, who later quit.

Earlier in the main supporting bout, Michael Angelo ?Magic Mike? Plania also of Sanman Boxing Stable remained undefeated by scoring a convincing unanimous decision against veteran Rogen Flores of Dipolog City.

Plania knocked down Flores in the opening round of their 8-rounder bout with a left-right combination. But Flores was saved by the bell.

Flores tried to distract Plania with his ?dirty antics? like hitting his young opponent at the back of his head during a clinch.

Flores was finally deducted on the scores for continuing to hit Plania at the back of his head. Both fighters turned more heat in the next two rounds as they also exchange trash words.

Plania continued to chase Flores, who was now backpedaling to avoid the attack. Flores was floored early in the 8thu round due to an accidental low blow.

?Pero dili man to low blow. Nag inarte lang dyud siya,? (But it was not a low blow. He was just acting) said Plania, who kept his unblemished record at 9 wins with 4 KOs and no loss or draw.

Flores dropped to 14 wins, 29 defeats and 6 draws.

Meanwhile, promising Adam Diu ?Big Daddy? Abdulhamid continued his winning form by stopping former Philippine champion Eusebio ?Raging Bull? Baluarte of Valencia City by a knockout in the last 43 seconds of the 6th round.

Abdulhamid also showed his patience and was not distracted by Baluarte?s ring antics on the ring. Abdulhamid started attacking on Baluarte with his left-right jabs since the first round.

Abdulhamid finally caught Baluarte with a solid left on the midsection at the corner in the 6th round.

?Grabe ka kusog ang sumbag ni Abdul sa akoa,? (The punch by Abdul on me was very solid) said Baluarte.

The 20-year old Abdulhamid now has 9 wins with 4 knockouts against only 2 losses while Baluarte suffered his 16th loss against 19 wins.

Two other fighters from Sanman - Markquil ?Gunz? Salvana and Rimar Metuda both scored second round knockouts in the undercard.

Super bantamweight Salvana knocked out Dondon Navarez of Zamboanga in the second round while reigning World Boxing Federation (WBF) Asia Pacific featherweight champion Rimar Metuda stopped Joel Hecotibo.

The curtain raiser between Japan?s Shota Misukami and Gensan?s Simboy Vejano ended up in a majority draw.

The boxing show was co-presented by the Sanman Promotions headed by CEO Jim Claude ?JC? Manangquil and T?boli Mayor Dibu Tuan as part of the annual T?boli fiesta celebration. ? LITO DELOS REYES
