TRIBAL WAR: MANOBO BOXER BEATS MUSLIM FIGHTER


PhilBoxing.com




Manobo boxer Michael Andip Bravo of Cotabato landed more telling blows to beat Muslim fighter Saddam Barambangan of Sarangani Province by a unanimous decision in their 4-rounder bout.
All three judges scored 39-37 in favor of Bravo. The two fighters, who entered the arena in their native costumes immediately started trading blows with Bravo taking the slight edge.

Bravo, however, landed the more telling blows in the last three rounds despite the fearless counter-attack of Barambangan.
"There should be a rematch for these guys. Ang ganda ng laban nila. It's like a tribal war," said SSMI COO Soc Pinol.
Former Panabo City Boxing Team standouts Ryan "Rapido" Lumacad and Jaime Quitoriano both made their successful debuts in the SSMI stable.

Lumacad remained undefeated in his comeback by knocking out Robert Awitin of Butuan in 43 seconds of the 3rd round.
Lumacad, a native of General Santos City, landed a right cross on the midsection to send down Awitin near the ropes. Awitin was still lying on the canvas when referee Abduil Marajan finished the mandatory count.

"Masayang-masaya po ako talaga dahil nanalo ulit ako," said Lumacad, who thanked Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and SSMI for giving him a chance to resume his ring career.

Quitoriano, on the other hand, scored a unanimous decision win over Bryan Samson to improve his record to 2 wins and 2 loses.
Promising Rosekie ?Kapre? Cristobal of Cotabato used his height advantage and boxing skills to survive against the never-say die Robert Awitin of Cebu and earned a unanimous decision win.
The 5-foot-10 Cristobal connected stinging jabs and body shots to keep 5-foot-3 Awitin at bay in their 6-round bout.
