Bolcio floored the Thai in the fifth round of their scheduled 10 round match although Pichitchai Twins Gym managed to stand up. But the Kapangan fighter smelled blood, landing a barrage of punches in the body against the Thai as the referee stopped the contest with less than 36 seconds remaining.The newly crowned champion diminished the height and reach advantage of the Thai fighter right at the start of the opening round, throwing punches which landed on Pichitchai’s week torso resulting to a fall in the first round.
“Yung plano po talaga namin eh sa tyan lahat ng tira kasi nga mas matangkad sya sa akin kaya nung nakita kong bumagsak sa first round eh hindi ko na tinigila,” said Bolcio after winning the biggest fight of his three year old professional career.
Bolcio then followed it up slowly but surely as he landed another one – two combination to the body which sent the Thai boxer to the canvas for the second time in the fight in the third round.
Then in the fifth round, a thundering left by the Kapangan orthodox boxer sent Pichitchai anew to the canvass but was able to beat the mandatory eight count.
Sensing blood, Bolcio poured in several punches, with Pichitchai not throwing even a single punch to counter the onslaught with the referee stepping in to stop the fight in the fifth round at the 2:35 minute mark in the main event.
“Masayang – masaya talaga ako kasi di ko inaasahan na makukuha ko yung corona kasi magaling din yung nakalaban,” added Bolcio in the event sponsored by the City Government of Baguio, Sen. Loren Legarda, Cong. Bernardo Vergara, Mayor Domogan, Cong. Ronald Cosalan and Naris Singwangcha.
Boxing promoter Raffy Panagan, meanwhile, sees a bright future for the righty pug who has been promoting Bolcio since turning pro in 2008.
“Malaki talaga ang pag-asa ng batang yan na makakuha pa nga ibang korona dahil sa kanyang sipag na mag ensayo,” added Panagan who promoted the event dubbed Great Fights at the Heights with Benguet Electric Cooperative, Philippine Amusement and gaming Corporation, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes, Landbank of the Philippines, Thunderbird Resort and Casino, Eurotel and Philippine Veterans Bank also backing the event.
