Farenas Ko's Foe,New WPBF World Champion!
By Gerry Pe?alosa, PhilBoxing.com, October 04 2009
Michael Farenas has proven to everybody that he has got a heart of a champion and has beaten Korean Jae Bong Jang in a race to get the World Professional Boxing Federation Featherweight belt. The match was a classic because of the exchange of fist power between the two boxers. During the first few seconds of the second round, a mean punch from Farenas sent his Korean foe down the canvas but Jae Bong Jang was able get up ¡ made a counterattack minutes later and gave Farenas a vicious blow which also sent him down the canvas.
What happened after the second round was a test of both fighters' strength and determination to win. Both are determined and both have amazing fist powers. The deciding round was on the tenth by a knock out and this time the Korean pugilist was hit by combination of punches. For always, it's the stronger boxer who emerged as the winner¡the one with the most heart, the one who is more determined and the one with more firepower.
Australian super bantamweight champion Mark Quon won the WPBF World Bantamweight Title with a TKO over Thailand's Mongkoichai Singmanasak (24-14-1, 9 KOs) in five rounds in the main event at Port Melbourne,Victoria, Australia on September 25.
