Veteran Donny Mabao?s clash with favored Michael Enriquez for the vacant Philippine flyweight title will be telecast on Pinoy Box Office (PBO) over SkyCable nationwide at 8:30 p.m. tonight with a replay at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.
The fight was one of five title fights staged at the Taguig Sports Center by United International Promotions headed by Japan?s Ryuta Kato and executive director Warren Evison, a British boxing trainer.
Nicknamed ?Mr. Shallow?, Mabao who was ranked No. 11 light flyweight in the ratings of the Games and Amusements Board in January outhustled Enriquez whose name didn?t appear in the ratings with a fight plan that was certainly not shallow.
Enriquez, nicknamed ?Blade? was unable to cut through the defense of the quick-footed Mabao who used his veteran?s experience to eke out a majority decision with judges Benz Penafiel (115-113) and Ver Abainza (116-113) scoring the fight for Mabao while judge Oliver Garcia saw it a draw (114-114.).
With the win Mabao improved his record to 21-24-3 with a mere 4 knockouts while Enriquez who failed to use a four inch height advantage and wasn?t able to catch Mabao with a solid punch dropped to 11-3-1 with 7 knockouts.
