UNDEFEATED Criztian Pitt “Golden Boy” Laurente of General Santos City could be the next Manny Pacquiao after he made a grand entrance last Sunday at the Blow-by-Blow revival boxing program at the Mandaluyong City College Gym in Mandaluyong City.
The 22-year-old Laurente stopped veteran JR “Star Boy” Magboo of Mindoro Oriental in just 25 seconds of the first round.
Laurente landed a solid right straight to send down Magboo at the corner as referee Danrex Tapdasan completed his count as the 32-year-old Magboo was not able to recover.
