DAVAO CITY --- Current International Boxing Organization (IBO) junior flyweight champion Rey ?Hitman? Loreto of Tamayong, Calinan pummelled to submission Heri ?The Magic Baby? Amol in the 7th round via a knockout in the main event of the Boxing Revolution II on Saturday dawn at the Almendras gym.
Loreto first knocked down Amol in the 5th round with his right-left combination. The 5-foot-3 Dabawenyo kept on chasing Amol in the next round as the Thai fighter kept on running away.
Loreto finally caught Amol with his left-right solid punches in 2:53 of the 7th round. Amol, who was downed with a bloodied nose, surrendered before referee Bruce McTavish completed his mandatory 8-count.
?Nagpapasalamat ako sa Panginoon at kay Pastor Apollo Quiboloy sa pagbigay sa akin ng pagkakataon na maka laro dito sa Davao,? said Loreto.
Former Gov. Manny Pinol, CEO of the Sonshine Sports Management Inc. thanked the huge crowd that included no less than City Mayor Rody Duterte after the boxing event.
Also present were SSMI president and chair Nelida Lizada and legal counsel Atty. Charmalou Aldevera. Pinol also thanked the full support of popular evangelist and SSMI honorary chairman Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy and his staff from the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
"Dako ang mahitabo sa sport because of the participation of Pastor Quiboloy. The landscape of Philippine sports will change because of him," Pinol said.
The sponsors were the Jose Maria College, Pepsi Cola Products, Galilee Purified Drinking Water and Chocalatea.
A hometown crowd included Loreto's family and former 3rd District City Councilor Louie Villafuerte, who handled him when he was still a struggling amateur boxer. Also present was his manager Brico Santig, who came all the way from La Trinidad, Benguet.
