Alvin Dologuin and Alex Alsayaad embraced on top of the ring the moment Alex was declared the winner.
Zamboangueño southpaw Alvin “Felemon” Dologuin left everything in the ring Friday night in Malvern, Southeastern Australia, but came up short against hometown Aussie Alex Alsayyad via 4th-round stoppage.
Felemon was ready to answer the bell for a 5th round. But his corner made the right call.
Caring Iloilo coach Jomar Fajardo stepped in and stopped it to protect his fighter. The 4th was a harsh chapter and Felemon finished it on his feet. After that, there was no need to risk anything, Diba? This is boxing — It's a sport and safety of our kid is paramount. Good call from coach Jomar. 👍
A Zamboangueño With a Heart! From the opening bell, the 5' 3" "Felemon" pressed forward. He took the fight to the taller Alsayyad, worked inside, and fought with the toughness that’s become his trademark.
He’s boxed across Thailand, the Philippines, and now Australia — and he came to coastal Malvern to fight, not to survive!.
Alsayyad, 6-1 with 3 KOs from Melbourne, got the win. But the story fans share is Felemon’s heart.
The stoppage puts a loss on the record. It does not touch our pride and love for our boxer.
“Felemon, you have a brave heart, and you are strong. We are all proud of you, younger hermano.”
Laban lang 🇵🇭🙏🥊
