THE Philippines has a third world champion as Marlon Tapales shocked Murodjon Akhmadaliev via split decision to grab the Uzbekistan fighter’s World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation super bantamweight belts Sunday at the Boeing Center in Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.
“Easy fight … easy,” the 31-year-old Tapales jokingly told BusinessMirror in a video call before getting an ice treatment with coaches Sugar Ting Ariosa and Arnel Fontanilla on Sunday. “Marlon [Tapales] proved what I always said that if you have a good jab, you can win a fight with a jab alone and that’s what he did,” International matchmaker and MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons told BusinessMirror also on Sunday.
Vincent Astrolabio, meanwhile, will be up next for a crack at the vacant World Boxing Organization bantamweight title when he faces Australian Jason Moloney on May 13 in a still to be determined venue.
