Criztian Pitt Laurente remained undefeated as he vanquished the rugged Hebi Marapu (19-3) to win the IBF Pan-Pacific Lightweight title, upping his record to a pristine 15-0. Laurente outboxed the aggressive challenger from start to finish, delivering a masterclass that left little doubt about his rising stature in the division.
The scores reflected his dominant performance: 100-90, 100-90, and 99-91. In a post-fight interview, Laurente expressed his joy and relief, saying, “I am happy to win my first regional title. I want to thank my family, Sanman Boxing, Knucklehead, and all who support me.”
In the co-main event, former two-time interim world champion Reymart Gaballo (30-2) returned with authority, stopping Pawan Kumar Arya in the fourth round. The victory improved Gaballo’s record to 30 wins and 2 losses, a statement that he remains a serious contender in the bantamweight division. The night was promoted by Sanman Boxing and held at Phela Grande in General Santos City, to celebrate the Tuna Festival.
