An interesting ten round bout between IBO International super flyweight champion Rene Dacquel against southpaw Mateo Handig in a ten-round non-title bout at the well laid out Taguig Sports Complex in a fight card promoted by United International Promotions headed by Japan?s Ryuta Kato and executive director Warren Evison will be featrured in the top-rating Viva Sports telecast of ?The Main Event? on Pinoy Box Office (PBO) over Sky Cable at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday with a replay at 10:30 a.m.on S unday.
Dacquel who was coming off a twelve round unanimous decision loss to Japan?s Takuma Inoue in an Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation title fight last December 29 started cautiously against Handig who was also coming off a 3rd round KO loss to Benjain Mananquil last September 6.
Dacquel soon settled down and began to hammer Handig with some solid combinations, often catching him against the ropes with ripping shots to the body and head.
The 25 year old Dacquel out-punched the 26 year old southpaw Handig and went on to win comfortably on the scorecards of all three judges.
British judge Robert Bridges, a resident of Angeles City, Pampanga had Dacquel the winner 98-92 while Jerrold Tomeldan and Oliver Garcia turned in identical 97-93 scorecards in favor of Dacquel who improved to 15-6-1 with 5 knockouts while Handig fell to 13-10 with 7 knockouts.
