CANDIJAY, Bohol -- With a viscous body attack in round two, Cebuano bantamweight Carlo Pepito Demecillo of the Big Yellow Boxing Stable ravaged fast-moving Margarito Moya to claim the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) Bantamweight Title Wednesday afternoon at the Gym of Bohol Island State University (BISU) here in the Municipality of Candijay in the Paradise Island of Bohol.
During the opening chapter, fans saw Moya making good use of his southpaw stance, throwing and landing combinations to the head and body of Demecillo, who appeared cautious in the middle of the ring defending himself while setting Moya into a dangerous trap.
The first stanza might have gone to Moya's credit, though Demecillo was not thinking about points.
A more determinado Carlo Demencillo came out for the second round, sending jabs and straight rights, appearing more aggressive, pressing forward against his opponent; while Moya was attemptting to surprise with sporadic attacks that employ his right uppercut, a punch that he managed to land with limited success earlier in the fight.
Half-way through in round 2, Demecillo suddenly bombed with huge artillery the bread-box of Margarito Moya, gassing him out to the canvas in obvious pain.
Seating on his butt against the ropes with arms on his knees on a neutral corner, the very Christian Margarito Moya - who has an image of the face of Our Lord Jesus tattooed on the right side of his chest - listened the full 10-second count delivered by international referee Delbert Pelegrino and the fight was over.
The new Philippines Boxing Federation (PBF) Bantamweight Champion Carlo Demecillo was belted.
The official time recorded by the accurate GAB time-keeper Mr. Cipriano "Machete" Gonzales was 2:05 minutes of round 2.
