The Barangay Una Boxing Team of Panabo City continues to wreak havoc in the region’s amateur boxing scene as they extended their mastery of the sport in the recently concluded 2015 Davao Regional Athletic Association (DAVRAA) event held in the scenic Mati City, Davao Oriental.
The Tonyboy Floirendo-founded boxing team captured a total of 3 golds 1 silver and 1 bronze out of the 5 disputable weight categories available.
Leading the charge was Batang Pinoy and Palaro veterans Jiple Jay Cabrera and John Benedict Cadavido who both dominated their respective class in their way to a gold medal.
The Light Flyweight (49 kgs.) Cabrera trounced Marklin Itim of Davao del Sur in the finals. He earlier defeated Davao City’s Cornelio Yurong Jr. in the semis.
Cadavido on the other hand, pummeled Davao del sur’s John Endoel Prevendido in the semis before giving a similar beating to Davao City’s Junmilardo Ogayre to capture gold in the Pinweight (46 kgs.) Division.
Panabo City’s 3rd gold came from Christian Betonio in the Light Mosquito weight after he defeated Elmar Catesio of Comval and Davao City’s Adrian Kieth Fernandez.
Neophytes Michael James Bacalso (42 kgs.) and Maynard Rosales (40 kgs.) were not as lucky as they were dominated by their more experienced rivals but getting the valuable experience they need. Comval’s Iave Laurence Arguelles and Davao del Norte’s John Michael Diocares got the gold in the said categories.
All gold-medalists qualified to represent the region in the forthcoming Palaro National Games slated later this May in Tagum City.
Indeed, this was another fine showing for the Barangay Una Boxing Team, a multi-titled grassroots sports development program that is also backstopped by Davao del Norte 2nd District Congressman Anton F. Lagdameo, Jr.
The team was headed by Brgy. Una Executive Director Edwin B. Pardillo together with Gym Manager Edgar Encabo, Head Coach Jonas Jerusalem and Asst. Coach Lelios Siodina. (edwin lagumbay)
