ALA Boys Rollen Del Castillo and Milan Milendo scored contrasting wins last Tuesday in the 'Kumo sa Kumo: Rambolan sa Bantayan' boxing card at Bantayan Island's Multi-purpose Center.
The event was held in celebration of the Bantayan Island annual fiesta and presented by the Bantayan Executive Committee, Pepsi and SGG Sports Promotions.
Del Castillo prevailed on a lackluster majority decision over tough-as-nails Edmund Velayo, earning a 97-93 and 98-96 verdict from two judges while the third judge had it a draw at 96-96.
In an impressive showing, Milan Milendo kept his unbeaten record with a fourth-round technical knockout win over Arnel Tadena after the latter refused to continue at the 1:03 mark of the round.
The win improved Milendo's record to 12 wins, with 3 KO's.
Weng Haya also kept his unbeaten mark with a technical knockout victory over Reggie Binueza at 1:09 of the fourth round. Haya unleashed several head and body combination on Binueza to earn the win.
Fernando Otic also prevailed on a unanimous decision over rugged Danny Boy Bontilao. Scores were 78-74, 77-75, and 79-75 all for Otic.
In the night's biggest upset, visiting Roldan Malinao stopped the previously unbeaten Frank Albia with a big right uppercut to the jaw at 2:45 of the opening round. Albia managed to pick himself up after a knockdown, but Malinao swarmed all over him prompting referee Sev Necesario to stop the contest.
In the curtain-raiser, Mark John Yap earned a unanimous decision nod over Marjo Borres, 58-56, 59-55 and 58-57.
