Parrenas.
In a fantastic, action-packed fight card at Barangay Pook in Taal, Batangas, WBO Oriental super flyweight champion Warlito Parrenas scored a clear unanimous twelve round decision over game Indonesian Espinos Sabu whose father is a Filipino, to retain his title before a huge crowd on a hot and humid evening on Viva Sports ?The Main Event.?
The fight will be telecast on the leading cable channel Pinoy Box Office (PBO) over Sky Cable at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
It was a technically excellent fight with Parrenas working behind a stinging jab and solid one-two combinations from the outside and on occasions ripping shots to the body of the Indonesian challenger who hardly flinched and even connected with good combinations of his own.
But the work-rate of the defending champion was just too much for Sabu whose solid defense was a key to his survival.
The lanky 31 year old Parrenas who fights out of Japan where he also uses the ring name Wars Katsumata ultimately ran out a comfortable winner to improve his record to 20-6 with 17 knockouts while Sabu suffered only the second defeat of his career to wind up with a record of 11-2-1 with 5 knockouts.
Fight fans who crowded the venue since early afternoon enjoyed the fight card presented by promoters Edgar ?Mark? De Castro of United Boxing Gym which is based in Malate, Manila and Ryuta Kato of the United International Boxing Gym of Japan with Taal Mayor Michael Montenegro as host and Art Monis as matchmaker.
