TIBAY NG PINOY 6: Cabalquinto, Palicte KO Thais to cop IBF titles By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Sun, 01 Feb 2015  DAVAO CITY -- Filipino fighters Adones Cabaquinto and Aston Palicte knocked out their Thai rivals to emerge as the new International Boxing Federation (IBF) Asia junior welterweight and World Youth super flyweight champions, respectively Saturday night at the Almendras gym here. Cabalquinto punished Denkamon Pakdee Gym in the first two rounds with his solid left-right combinations before landing a left straight on the face of the Thai for a technical knockout win in 27 seconds of the third round. Former world-rated Bobby Pacquiao awarded the golden belt to Cabalquinto together with Games and Amusements Board Commissioner Fritz Gaston. The undefeated Cabalquinto, also reigning World Boxing Council Asian Boxing Council and Philippine jr. welterweight champion, improved his record to 19 straight wins with 12 knockouts. "Pasalamat ko sa akong pamilya ug mga taga Talaingod na nihatag ug suporta sa akoa dire (I thanked my family and friends from Talaingod for their support to me here)," said the 26-year old Cabalquinto. Palicte, on the other hand, had a shorter work against Jomyuthlek Sor Narongchai by stopping the Thai in just 2:11 of the first round. The 22-year old Palicte connected a left upper cut to the body that sent down Narongchai lying on the floor for several minutes. It was Palicte's 11th knockout in 15 wins against only one loss and no draw while Narongchai only suffered his third loss in 16 fights. "Napakalakas talaga ni Aston. Ready na siya ilaban sa mga Mexikano," said MP Boxing Davao Gym chief trainer Raides "Nonoy" Neri.
