AGUELO SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDS PBF SUPERBANTAMWEIGHT TITLE IN MAASIN CITY


PhilBoxing.com




MAASIN CITY, SOUTHERN LEYTE - The reigning Philippine Boxing Federation superbantamweight champion Adonis Aguelo sent challenger Phil Angcamor to the canvas four times, enroute to a successful defense of his crown before thousands of cheering local fans at the Maasin City Gymnasium Monday night.

Aguelo was well ahead in the scorecards of the three judges in every round when Angcamor was floored once in the third round and three times in the sixth round. Punches unleashed by the champion took heavy beating on the challenger who was specifically weak in his torso.

But Angcamor, who hails from Cagayan de Oro City, showed gallant stand from the beginning until the end of the fight, absorbing astoundingly Aguelo?s blows in six rounds especially those that hit his head. He showed some his cleverness by swaying his head to evade the crushing blows of the Maasin champ.

But the determination to give the hometown crowd something to cheer about inspired Aguelo to end the fight with a bang. The curtains closed on the challenger when referee Ben Necesario stopped the fight at 1:44 of round 6 when Angcamor hit the canvas three times in that round.

The fight was dubbed ?Makalingawng Sangka sa Adlaw ni Mayor? or ?Entertaining Fight for Mayor?s Birthday? and true to its billing, the fights amused the full-packed crowd of all genders and ages. Boxing is alive and kicking in this capital city and it was evidenced by the upbeat response of the crowd in every fight.

In the supporting professional bouts, the fight between Jaime Bermiso of Bontoc, Southern Leyte and Joseph Alteza of Butuan City ended in a technical draw when Bermiso was cut in the right eye due to an accidental head butt in the second round. Upon the advise of the ring physician Dr. Teodulo Salas, Jr., referee Necesario stopped the fight 1:20 of the second round.

While Michael Ramos of Maasin City rallied in the fourth and final round to end the fight with Geboi Mansalayao of Butuan City a majority draw. Ramos dominated the bout in the first round but lost steam in the second and third round. He went back in the final canto and the bout ended a majority draw with two judges scoring it 38-38 and the third judge scoring it 39-38 for Ramos.

Nine amateur bouts were fought between Maasin City and Bato-Matalom, Leyte boxers. There were five winners from Maasin, namely Daryl Ramos, Aldrin Mori, John Mark Vanzuela, Jose Lito Ayaay, and Joel Rosales. While the four winners from Bato-Matalom were Jaybee Payac, Gerry Mancio, Jaybe Galia, and Robert Payac.

The promotion was presented by the Maasin City Government thru the auspices of the Maasin City Sports Council in coordination with Rex Wakee Salud International and the Games and Amusements Board-Visayas headed by Rolando Villanueva.
