    PRESCO Carcosia gave his hometown fans a fistic treat by outpointing Arnel Baconaje to claim the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation super-featherweight crown over the weekend during the Manny Pacquiao Presents Blow By Blow show at the Lagao gym in General Santos City.

    Presco Carcosia claims PBF crown

    Carcosia won by unanimous decision over the Iloilo-born Barconaje, whose vast experience included a coveted stint as sparring partner of former undisputed bantamweight champion Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue.

    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 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 eventually win the vacant 130-pound crown.

    Pacquiao, who is bankrolling the third show of the San Miguel Beer-backed TV program relaunched late last year, swore Filipino boxers would benefit from the regular staging of fights in the coming months.

      “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.
