Joey Canoy immediately sprawled to the squared apron after the fight was stopped. No, it was not because he lost the fight but an explicit gesture of euphoria after knowing he is the new Asian Boxing Federation one hundred-five pound titlist. Having to hold back the stiff challenge of a late substitute, who is a veteran of more than sixty bouts is another thing that's forcing an actuation ironic to what is happening. A championship belt wrapped around a pugilist's waistline is a gratifying feeling that's second to none. Standing in the dais amid the cheers and commendatory remarks of spectators, one can overhear someone saying, "Congrats Canoy, Flores Boxing Academy".
The boxing gym is also popularly known as the Noy Pacing Boxing Academy in recognition to one of the pioneer boxing trainers in Cebu, the late Noy Pacing Flores. He started the winning disposition of the stable that still continues to this day. The gym is now being managed by his son, former Philippine amateur boxing team member and outstanding pro coach Brix Flores. The stable of up-and-coming contenders racked up four wins in a fight card over the start of the week in Atillo Gym, Barangay Punta Princesa, Cebu lead by Canoy aka Canoy J. Singwangcha. This is somewhat a confusing name as one can assume that it is from someone originating in the "Land of the Free". The Singwancha label is from promoter and sponsor, Thai boxing patron Naris Singwangcha. Two undefeated fighters from the team also displayed immense talent and potential. Ardie Boyose, known by his nom de guerre as Boyose A. Singwangcha raised his unbeaten streak to fifteen wins by forcing a surrender on Phil Angcamor of Valencia, Bukidnon. Elias Joaquino aka Joaquino E. Singwangcha registered the fastest win of the night by putting into submission Marlon Talili with just over one and a half minute of the initial round. Pin point accuracy and heavy hands were enough for the one hundred-eight pounder to raise his ring resume to 6-0-1 (4 KO's). Melmark Dignos (Dignos M. Singwangcha) of Lapu-Lapu City started the triumpant ways for the stable with a close decision against Ponciano Remandima of ST stable. The two lanky boxers engage in a torrid exchange of straights and hooks from the start of the bout to the closing bell of the last round.
JIMENEZ WINS
In another bout that is also important to note, Junrel Jimenez scored a decision win over Boholano Roga Libres. The southpaw from Alaska, Mambaling scored a knockdown in the fourth round but could not finish off the rugged Libres.
