VINCENT ASTROLABIO has proven himself a different fighter now than the last time he beat Cuban former world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Astrolabio, 25, controlled the early rounds before flooring his 32-year-old foe in the fifth round with a left hook and hitting him with a right straight in the sixth round that ended their International Boxing Federation bantamweight eliminator fight with 1:34 remaining. It’s going to be a big break for Astrolabio’s career to become a world champion next year because Japanese unified bantamweight world champion Naoya Inoue would be vacating the IBF, WBO, World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council belts to climb up soon to 122-pound category.
“Soon Philippines will have a new world champion and Vincent has a great opportunity to get either the IBF or WBO belt, as Inoue will go up to the super bantamweight class.”
