DALAGUETE,CEBU - Vergilio ?Maton? Silvano of the Omega Boxing Gym of Mabolo overpowered Lester Jun Pronco of the Dr. Sajulga Boxing Stable and retained his Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) light flyweight title by TKO in the eighth round.
The southpaw Silvano was boosted by the cheering of his hometown fans and repeatedly pummelled the game Pronco from the opening bell. Pronco tried to fight back past the halfway mark but Silvano knocked him down in the seventh round. Silvano continued his onslaught in the 8th prompting Pronco?s corner to throw in the towel. Referee Tony Pesons signalled the end at the 1:04 mark.
This was the first defense of the title that Silvano won last July with a fourth round TKO win over Charlie Cabilla at the J Centre Mall in Mandaue City.
