Filipino Alphoe Dagayloan (11-2-5, 5 KO's) impressively stopped strong Chinese foe Rongguo Wu (6-2-2, 2 KO's) in the 6th round to capture the vacant WBA Asia East Flyweight Title Saturday (Oct 27) at Quibors Boxing Gym in Bacoor, Cavite; a victory that might get the Dipolog native into the world rankings.
Fresh from a prior knock out win overseas, Alphoe Dagayloan, 26, overpowered the brave Chinese with rough, sharp combinations to the head and body, that prompted the demise of the Middle Kingdom warrior in a fight supervised by GAB Boxing Division Chief Dioscoro B. Bautista.
In his last combat, the tall southpaw Dagayloan spectacularly stopped unbeaten Kazakhstan fighter Madiyar Zhanuzak in eight rounds in Russia; and now the prot?g? of promoter Joseph Quibral wants more tough challenges.
Thrill of Victory. After knocking out the Chinese, the new WBA Asia East Champion Alphoe Dagayloan celebrates with team members and fans Saturday in Bacoor Cavite.
