PAEL KO?S ECHAVEZ, WINS PBF BELT IN SIQUIJOR By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Fri, 11 May 2012 LAZI,SIQUIJOR- Rajah Renoel Pael had trouble figuring out Roger Echavez? awkward southpaw style early in the fight. The action turned up a notch in the third round as both boxers traded wild swings. In the 4th, Pael fired a sharp one-two combo that sent Echavez down. Echavez got up and fought back but he looked spent at the end of the sixth. In the seventh round, a crisp right hook from Pael drove Echavez into the canvas flat on his back. Referee Ben Necesario signalled the end at the 57 second mark. Pael fought under the banner of the Princesa Bulakna Resort of Siquijor. He won the flyweight division in the ?Buhay Boksingero? boxing series held last year by GMA TV. It was decided by the PBF and RWS Promotions earlier this week that Pael and Echavez would be fighting for the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) bantamweight belt and the fight between Fernando Ocon and Aroel Romasasa held in San Fernando,Cebu would be for the PBF flyweight title. Ocon beat Romasasa by 9th round TKO on the same night. For the supporting bouts in Lazi: Rogen Flores knocked Roldan Malinao down thrice (1st, 3rd and 4th rounds) and won by TKO at 27 seconds of the fourth canto. Referee Nick Banal stopped the contest when Malinao collapsed after receiving a fusillade of body punches. Alvin Arresgado gave his hometown Siquijor fans another reason to cheer when he won by TKO in the 3rd round over Ian Panganiban of Siaton, Neg. Oriental. Panganiban went down in the opening round and in the third, Arresgado threw a stunning right straight that made Panganiban spit out his mouthpiece as he staggered prompting Referee Ben Necesario to halt the bout at 2:40 of the round. There were two exhibition bouts between Bryan Samson of Siquijor vs. Gerry Castroverde of the RSW Gym and TI Yamagata Masashi of Japan vs Ardie Boyose of the TI Cebu Stable. The event was opened by four amateur bouts featuring amateur boxers from Siquijor. The boxing promotion was held Thursday night and sponsored by the local government of Lazi and the provincial government of Siquijor. The pro bouts were supervised by Celso Miranda of GAB-Cebu. Philboxing would like to thank the people of Siquijor for their hospitality. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Rene Bonsubre, Jr..  |
