Jhuriel Ramonal of the Wow Magic Sing Boxing Stable of Binan, Laguna scored the biggest win in his young career by knocking out former RP super-bantamweight champion Alex Escaner (Marty Elorde Stable) in the co- main event of the “Sagupaan sa Santa Rosa” (Encounters in Santa Rosa) held Friday night in the Brunsmick Compound of Engineer Araja who promoted the event. The bout was fought at closed quarters with both boxers trading shots mostly to the body. Ramonal was able to hold his own against his vastly more experienced opponent, even taking well the usual stiff punches of Escaner. The opportunity opened for Ramonal in the 8th round when Escaner let his guard down allowing Ramonal to unleash a big right hook that landed below Escaner’s ear sending him crashing instantly to the canvas. Escaner, out of sheer courage, tried to get up from the knockdown but was too dazed to beat the count. The official time was 27 seconds of Round 8. The fight was fought at 122 pounds and was scheduled for 10 rounds.
In the other co-main event scheduled for 10-rounds, flyweight Brix “Bomb” Ray of the Tony Dacer Stable engaged Rodel Quilaton (Gello-ani Stable) in a tactical fight where he often beat the latter to the punch. The busier Ray was rewarded with a win when Quilaton quit 47 seconds into the night round after absorbing a knockdown.
Rounding off the results of the other bouts:
