MICHAEL Casama of Matalam, North Cotabato is the new Philippine Boxing Federation featherweight champion after stopping veteran Ryan Rey “Mr. Pogi Jhongihong” Ponteras of Panabo City in the 8th round last night in Norala, South Cotabato.
The 22-year-old Casama, who is managed by Percy Anthony Consolacion, was also sent down by Ponteras early in the 5th round.
