Two very promising
new Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO)
champions were crowned on Sunday afternoon,
August 28, in Lagonglong, Philippines.

Eldin
“Goldenboy” Guinahon had his 100 percent
knockout-streak broken, and got a stern test
from co-challenger Mike Kinaadman before winning
a unanimous decision and the vacant UBO
International Flyweight title.
In an
excellent fast-paced fight, both men appeared to
be going for the knockout, with toe-to-toe
exchanges and throwing power-shots galore.

But
Guinahon (22) was just a little bit sharper, and
floored Kinaadman in round four with a well-placed
left hook to the body. Kinaadman beat the count of
referee Delbert Pelegrino, and made it through the
onslaught that followed.
While
Kinaadman continued to be very dangerous and game,
Guinahon was more accurate and consistent from the
fifth round onwards, and out-landed his aggressive
foe in most rounds.
Despite hardly
a lull in the action from start to finish, both
men found the energy to slug it out the last ten
seconds of the fight, emptying the tank, but after
ten rounds of thrilling action it was clear that
Guinahon deserved the victory.
Judges Roel
Densig and Fatima Buat scored the fight 97-92 and
98-91, while scoring referee Pelegrino also had it
98-91.
Guinahon
took his pro record to 8-0 (7), while Kinaadman
drops to a very misleading 7-17-2 (5) after a
performance he can be proud of.

In the
co-main event, James “Dynamite” Pagaling won the
vacant UBO International Super Bantamweight
title, scoring a third round technical knockout
when opponent Macrea Gandionco retired on his
stool after round two.
It was
quite anticlimactic, as Gandionco had made a
good account of himself during the first two
stanzas, giving almost as good as he got and
even landing some solid shots on Pagaling.

Pagaling,
only twenty-two years old, improves his
professional record to 7-0 (4). Former WBO
Asia-Pacific titlist Gandionco falls to 13-13-3
(8).
The “Stars
of the Future” UBO championship double-header was
promoted by Marban Boxing Promotions.
