In an exciting clash, Clyde Azarcon (13-1, 4 KO's) of the Big Yellow Boxing Stable outpointed tough Davae?o Bonjun Loperez (10-9-1, 5 KO's) to claim the vacant Philippines Boxing Federation (PBF) 105-lbs belt Wednesday night at the gym of Florance Technological College in the seaside paradise municipality of Anda in eastern Bohol.
Throughout the battle, the 24 year-old Bonjun Loperez was the aggressive, come-forward, fan-friendly warrior, but Azarcon used his effective hit-and-run technique to pile-up points throughout the 10-round encounter. At the end of the duel, two of the judges saw Azarcon winning by comfortable margins of 97-92 and 96-93; although one judge scored the fight for Loperez.
Clyde Azarcon, 23, is trained by Big Yellow Boxing Gym head coach Christopher "Ping Ping" Tepora of Danao, Cebu.
