Four young boxers from Maribojoc, under the tutelage of Municipal Boxing Coordinator Jeremias Gentallan, recently bagged two gold medals and two silver medals during the fiesta boxing tournament on June 13-15 here.
The exchange of punches was one of the highlights in the 60th foundation day celebration of this “once sleepy town†that has now become a bustling niche of developmental activities.
June 13 saw Kenneth Paul Gentallan as he shrunk a Candijay boxer in three rounds.
It was followed by the victory of Rommel Hibaya who outsmarted a rival from Ubay.
Sith Gentallan sent his opponent from Panglao to the canvas in the second round, prompting the referee to stop the game.
Shane Gentallan followed suit by defeating his foe in a game which was decided in his favor.
On championship night last June 15, the young pugilists from San Roque, Maribojoc met their townmates in the search for gold and silver medals.
Rommel Hibaya defeated Kenneth Paul Gentallan to snatch the gold, while Shane Gentallan defeated Sith Gentallan to earn another gold medal.
Kenneth Paul Gentallan and Sith Gentallan went home with a silver medal each.
