Former WBA Interim world light flyweight champion Randy Petalcorin won by wide unanimous decision over Arnold Garde over twelve rounds and captured the IBF Pan-Pacific light flyweight title in General Santos Sunday night, Petalcorin's co-manager Peter Maniatis has informed Philboxing.
?It was a nice win for Petalcorin,? Maniatis said. One judge scored it 100-89 while the other two judges had identical scores of 98-91 in Petalcorin's favor.
?Petalcorin dropped Garde with a nice shot and boxed a shut out,? Maniatis informed.
Petalcorin (25-2-1, 18KOs) has now won two straight after dropping a controversial split decision to Omari Kimweri in Australia last April. Garde dropped to 8-4-2, 3KOs.
Petalcorin is currently ranked No. 13 by the IBF in the light flyweight division but is bound to improve his ranking after winning the IBF Pan-Pacific belt.
?The end game here for Team Petalcorin is [to fight] IBF world champion Akira Yaegashi but he needs to fight Interim champion Milan Melindo next so we just have to wait patiently and see what happens,? said Maniatis who added that if the Yaegashi-Petalcorin fight is possible, he will try to bring the fight to Australia. ?I would like to bring [that] fight to Australia... but if we have to travel to Japan to fight Yaegashi, so be it,? Maniatis said.
Meanwhile, according to Maniatis, Petalcorin will take a Christmas break and relax and then start training again at co-manager Jim Manangquil's gym in Gensan and get ready for the big fights in 2017.
