It was similar to an axe that hit Auxilio on the face.
Betran and Auxillo were both trading body blows and hitting punches on the faces since the start of the 1st round.
But Betran proved to be stronger as he landed a vicious left hook to send Auxillo down near the ropes.
Betran ran around the ring as a sign of victory with his manager Firmo Aligato.
“I really pray for this fight to get the victory,” said Beltran, who received the golden belt from Kagawad Jenny Ann Nicolas.

“Congratulations to all boxers and everyone for the successful event,” said Aligato.
