GEN. SANTOS CITY (PNA) ? Stablemates John Vincent ?Mulawin? Moralde and Romero ?Dynamite? Duno scored contrasting wins in capturing their separate titles to remain undefeated during the Brawl at The Mall: Glory held Saturday night at the Gaisano Mall Atrium in General Santos City.
Moralde, 21, used his impressive boxing skills and proved too quick and classy in scoring a convincing unanimous decision win over Anthony ?Zorro? Sabalde of Cebu to capture the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) International featherweight title.
Moralde, a native of Davao City also posted his 15th straight win to remain undefeated with no loss or draw.
?Medyo nanibago ako dahil pareho ko siyang kaliwete,? said Moralde, who only started to dominate the fight in the fourth round.
Moralde landed his stinging jabs and left-right combinations to damage Sabalde?s right eye. It was swollen and almost close already in the 7thround that forced ring physician Dr. Edgar Tan to check it twice in the 8th and 9th rounds.
Sabalde, who tried to mix it up but failed to hit the quicker and smarter Moralde, suffered his 5th loss against 10 wins and no draw.
Duno, on the other hand, stopped the veteran Jason Egera of Cebu by a technical knockout in the 8th round to bag the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super featherweight title.
Egera quit after injuring his left arm in the seventh round.
?Sakit na kaayo akong bugton. Na injured,? said Egera, who was earlier knocked down twice in the second and sixth round.
Duno is still undefeated with 9 wins and 8 knockouts while Egera dropped to 21W-7L-0D-10Kos
Meanwhile, Ronnie ?Ultimate Warrior? Tanallon also of Sanman Stable retained his PBF minimumweight title via a convincing unanimous decision over veteran Rodel ?Hardworker? Tejares.
Three other Sanman boxers also prevailed in the undercard.
Hardhitting Reymart ?Assassin? Gaballo knocked out Bryan Samson of Cebu in 1:28 of the first round while Jayson Daming stopped Sadam Barambangan of Sarangani Province by a technical knockout in 1:12 of the third round.
Sanman?s newest fighter Jayson Mama successfully made his pro debut by scoring a TKO victory over Ramil Padayhag of Gensan in the curtain raiser.
Mama, a former outstanding amateur boxer, immediately waxed hot like a raging bull in the opening round. Mama kept on attacking with his left-right combinations to hurt Padayhag.
?It?s a good start for us in Sanman,? said Chief Executive Officer Jim Claude ?JC? Manangquil.
Also present were Sanman Chief Finance officer Dexter ?Wang? Yu and co-manager John Ray ?Mafia? Manangquil.
The other bout saw Bukidnon?s Robert Panadero pummeling to submission Jon-Jon Santos of Gensan in 2:43 of the 1st round.
Sanman?s inaugural card for 2016 was supported by Mount Sabrina Resort, Krispvic, Warell Salvador, Sydney Hotel, Isla Jardin del Mar, Grand Casres Spa, Boyzcut, Ocean Deli and Gaisano Mall Gensan. ? LITO DELOS REYES
