FORMER world title challenger Giemel Magramo and younger brother Arvin dismantled their respective foes at the resumption of Johnny Elorde’s Boksing Kontra sa Droga held over the weekend in a bubble setup at the Elorde Sports Center in Parañaque City.
The 27-year-old Giemel beat Jay-R Raquinel via unanimous decision to take home the vacant Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation flyweight belt in the main event, while the 24-year-old Arvin knocked out Jerry Francisco in the second round for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) oriental light flyweight belt.
Giemel improved his win-loss record to 25-2 with 21 knockouts as he slowly recovers from a forgettable world title bout last November in Japan where he was knocked out by Japanese Junto Nakatani. Arvin holds a 13-1-1 record with nine knockouts.
Juan Miguel Elorde, also a former world title challenger, won by unanimous decision over Aroel Romasasa to improve to 29-2 record with 15 knockouts.
It was Elorde’s first fight since losing to WBO super bantamweight champion Emanuel Navarrete via a fourth-round technical knockout last September 14, 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
