BANGKOK, Thailand -- Filipina Jessebelle Pagaduan (14-2-1, 5 KO's) scored an eight-rounds unanimous decision win over tough warrior girl Pimchanok Thepjanda of Thailand to claim the vacant WBC ASIA Female Flyweight belt in a Highland Boxing Promotion on Thursday, June 27, at the SpacePlus Night Club in Bangkok, Kingdom of Thailand.
The Filipina 3-time world title challenger had to dig deep into her fighting experience to defeat the big-hearted Pimchanok, who gave her very best effort against her more-experienced foe.
At the end, the Thai judges gave the nod to the winning Jessebelle Pagaduan by scores of 78-74 (twice) and 77-75.
The smiling Benguet native was guided to victory by her head coach Rene Toto and teammates Allan John Alegria and Fel Morales.
