It?s been a great WBO Convention for the Philippines with ?Promoter of the Year? Sammy Gello-ani joined by two other boxers and a referee at the recently concluded WBO Awards ceremony in Puerto Rico.
WBO Asia Pacific vice president Leon Panoncillo told the Manila Standard that undefeated 22 year old Froilan ?The Sniper? Saludar who has a record of 13-0-1 with 10 knockouts was named WBO Asia Pacific and WBO World Youth flyweight ?Boxer of the Year.?
Saludar won the Asia Pacific title with a rousing 10th round TKO over Gabriel Pumar in an exciting title fight at the Island Cove Resort in Cavite telecast by AKTV IBC Channel 13 last August 6.
Saludar had earlier won the vacant Youth title with a sensational 1st round TKO over Thailand?s Liempetch Sor Veerapol on the top rated weekly boxing show ?The Main Event? also telecast on AKTV IBC Channel 13.
Undefeated 19 year old southpaw Jerwin Ancajas was named WBO Asia Pacific Youth bantamweight ?Boxer of the Year? for winning the title by a unanimous ten round decision over Rex Tito last April 16.
Referee, lawyer Danrex Tapdasan was awarded the WBO Asia Pacific ?Official of the Year? and commended as ? as one of Asia?s most promising officials.?
