Gakit stops Lubguban in Fight Night series

By Rommel C. Manlosa



SIX days after suffering a one-sided defeat, Wenceslao Gakit of the Phil-Aust Boxing Club vented his ire on the unsuspecting Raffy Lubguban of Catmon, Cebu to lead the winners of the Summit Natural Drinking Water Fight Night Amateur Series at the Gaisano Country Mall Car Park last Saturday.

Gakit broke hold from the closely fought battle from the first round as he broke Lub-guban’s nose en route to scoring a Referee Stopped Contest due to Injury (RSC-I) win at the 1:25 mark of the fourth round of the 54-kilo division.

On the other hand, substitute Rame Vega of the Flores Boxing Club showed too much skill as he forced Mark Emmanuel Villarino of the Talamban National High School to retire at the end of the second round in the 38-kilo bout.

Vance Cabahug of Pagsa-bungan, Mandaue City and Jessie Dignos of the Flores BC each scored identical RSC wins both in the first round to complete the list of impressive wins.

Cabahug overwhelmed Mar-vin Llansa of the Flores Boxing Club at the 14th second of their match in the 47-kilo class, while Dignos proved too much for Jamewell Amacanin of Consolacion, just 37 seconds into their 48-kilo class bout.

The other winners of the night were Phil-Aust BC’s Exel Mogar (20kgs), Bebe Rama (23kgs), Kint Mike Tuñacao (25kgs) and Richard Rama (25kgs), Alson Seno of Banilad Elementary School (28kgs), Melmark Digsco of Flores BC (30kgs), John Mark Yabut of Kalibo, Aklan (48kgs) and Jinky Gako of Pit-os, Cebu City (55kgs.).
