Bago City, dubbed as the ?Boxing Capital of the Philippines? added three more wins to emerge as the top team in the Visayas Quarter Finals of the on-going PSC-Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Cup today at the Enan Chiong Activity Center here.

Carlo Guevarra and Nel Tambanillo both scored referee-stopped-contest wins while Jasper John Anda had easy job with a walk-over win against Calbayog?s Marvin Lucenesio in the Youth Boys bantamweight (56 kg) division. Guevarra also stopped Calbayog?s Minvil Valad-on in 1:10 of the opening round in the Youth Boys light flyweight (46-49 kg.) category. Tambanillo, on the other hand, landed solid combinations in the second round to force Bayawan?s Renz Lee Teves to quit at the start of Round 3 in flyweight (52 kg.) category. ?Medyo tsamba lang po at nanalo lahat. Pero talagang pinaghandaan namin ito,? said Semillano, a gold medalist in the 1997 Jakarta Southeast Asian Games. Four other Bago boxers won earlier in Day 1last Saturday. Pinweight Rodel Gamo (44-46 kg), light flyweight Samuel Manale (48 kg.) , flyweight Joshua Belicena (50 kg.) and light bantamweight Flint Jara (52 kg.) scored contrasting wins in the Junior Boys division to also advance to the Visayas Semi-finals set on March 17 in Calbayog City. ?Balik eskuwela muna ang mga bata for two weeks pero tuloy pa rin ang practice tuwing hapon,? said Semillano.

Flyweight April Jay Abne bombarded Cadiz?s Mark Alob with solid combinations en route to a RSC in 2:16 of Round 2.
