Published by the Bohol Chronicle Two Boholano boxing prospects training at the famed ALA Boxing Gym scored contrasting victories in separate non-title bouts last Dec. 29 in Bantayan Island.
WBO Asia-Pacific junior flyweight kingpin Along Denoy first scored the most impressive win.
The Candijay-born Denoy needed only 1:12 of the sixth round to stop veteran campaigner Nelson Llanos in the mainer. Denoy, who is apparently feared by Thai fighters, was originally set to defend his crown against Neth Sasiprapa and his next title defense in a rematch against ex-champ Kaitchon Sor Vorapin. The two Thai warriors, however, opted not to face the power-punching Boholano owing to his easy handling of Vorapin when he dethroned the latter for the WBO tiara.
The other Boholano upstart Rufino Mante of Ubay, however, failed in his bid to win the championship of the 1st ABS-CBN Boxing Idol search after he was outpointed by Alejandro Belonguel in the finals of the recent boxing event at the ALA Boxing Gym in Cebu.
