Blow By Blow: Carcosia bags crown

SOCIAL MEDIA

Hometown bet Presco Carcosia carved out a unanimous decision over Arnel Baconaje to seize the Philippine Boxing Federation super-featherweight title Sunday at the Lagao Gym in General Santos City.

Presented by Manny Pacquiao’s Blow By Blow, the Carcosia-Baconaje encounter was for the vacant crown and it was the third main event of the television program that was revived by the eight-division champion late last year.

Carcosia, fighting out of SanMan Boxing of General Santos City, improved to 11-2 with nine knockouts.

Baconaje, the pride and joy of Elorde VSP Fight Team of Sucat Paranaque, dropped to 15-6 with 11 knockouts.

It was a big win by Carcosia as Baconaje came into the clash hardened by fights held in Japan, China, Russia and Vietnam.

But the local fighter was determined to emerge victorious and he eventually won the vacant PBF 130-lb crown.

Pacquiao, who is bankrolling the card with San Miguel Beer providing solid backup, said he will continue to hold regular shows to provide Filipino boxers to make it big.

“My priority is giving every Filipino fighter a chance to show his courage and skills,” Pacquiao said, stressing the vital role Blow By Blow played in his rise to superstardom in the 1990s.

One Sports is the broadcast partner of Blow By Blow with choice fights regularly shown every Sunday at 8:30 p.m.
