It was raining knockouts during Sanman’s closed door pandemic event debut “The Restart” held at the Sanman Gym yesterday in General Santos City.
The curtains opened with a sensational second round finish of Michael Espedes over Vergil Deguma. It was followed by a big bounce back of Joey Canoy who stopped Jovab Lucas in the fourth round.
World title contender Aston Palicte showed the boxingdom that he’s still on the game as he easily disposed Reymark Taday in the third round. Dave Apolinario also made an exciting show as the destroyed Bonjun Luperez in the fifth round.
Finally, former world champion Marlon Tapales proved that he can reclaim his glory by downing dangerous Eden Sonsona twice in the opening round via vicious body shots before finally ending the night in the second stanza courtesy of a perfect timed uppercut to the mid-section.
Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil was more than satisfied with with the outcome of the closed door event which was broadcasted live via Facebook. “We delivered as promised. A night of 100% knockouts. Thanks to all fans who supported us all these years. We will never get tired of bringing you exciting events that will also launch our new breed of Filipino world champions,” Manangquil stated.
