NAGA City, Cebu<\/span> \u2014 Tagged as the “Boxing Capital of the Philippines,” Bago City has added three more wins to emerge as the top team in the Visayas quarterfinals of the ongoing PSC-Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Cup at the Enan Chiong Activity Center here on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bago City boxers, mentored by 2000 Sydney Olympian Larry Semillano, made a clean sweep of their seven bouts in the two-day event sponsored by the Philippine Sports Commission in coordination with the Office of Sen. Manny Pacquiao.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlo Guevarra and Nel Tambanillo both scored referee-stopped-contest wins while Jasper John Anda had an easy job with a walk-over win against Calbayog\u2019s Marvin Lucenesio in the Youth Boys bantamweight (56 kg) division.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guevarra also stopped Calbayog\u2019s Minvil Valad-on in 1:10 of the opening round in the Youth Boys light flyweight (46-49 kg.) category.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tambanillo, on the other hand, landed solid combinations in the second round to force Bayawan\u2019s Renz Lee Teves to quit at the start of Round 3 in flyweight (52 kg.) category.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semillano, a gold medalist in the 1997 Jakarta Southeast Asian Games, said he has prepared well for the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four other Bago boxers won earlier on Day 1 last Saturday. Pinweight Rodel Gamo (44-46 kg), light flyweight Samuel Manale (48 kg.), flyweight Joshua Belicena (50 kg.) and light bantamweight Flint Jara (52 kg.) scored contrasting wins in the Junior Boys division to also advance to the Visayas semifinals set on March 17 in Calbayog City.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBalik eskuwela muna ang mga bata for two weeks pero tuloy pa rin ang practice tuwing hapon (The boys will go back to school first for two weeks but their practice will continue every afternoon),\u201d said Semillano.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omega team of Mandaue City added two more wins to finish second with a total of five qualifiers to the semifinals. Flyweight April Jay Abne bombarded Cadiz\u2019s Mark Alob with solid combinations en route to a referee-stopped-contest (RSC) in 2:16 of Round 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bantamweight Jhorne Pasculado, likewise, pummeled to submission Maasin\u2019s Andy Poblete at 1:43 of Round 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

After two walk-over wins on Day 1, Victorias City got two hard-earned victories in the Youth Boys division from flyweight Genel Alit and bantamweight Herlan Gomez.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alit stopped Murcia\u2019s Joven Caguan by RSC in 1:56 of Round 1 while Gomez downed La Carlota\u2019s Terso Ello via RSC in 2:43 of the first round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murcia, however, finished with three wins followed both by Cebu and Escalante with two.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other results in Day 2 all in the Youth Boys Division:<\/span><\/p>\n

Light flyweight (46-49 KG.) Michael Adolfo (Cadiz) def. Jaylord Redondo (DSB) by RSC in Round 3 Edmund Oro (Escalante) def. Jimmybe Cais (CCSI) by split decision, 3-2<\/span><\/p>\n

Flyweight (52 kg.) — Johnro Taneo (CCSI) def. Gilbert Cainap (Cebu) by walk-over<\/span><\/p>\n

Bantamweight (56 kg.) — Mike Angelo dela Torre (Murcia) def. Gerald Postrano (Sipalay) by RSC in rest period of Round 2<\/span><\/p>\n

Lightweight (60 kg.) Romer Pinili (Bayawan) def. Randy Tanodra (SBC) by unanimous decision.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
