By Sanman Boxing

Sanman boxer Richie Mepranum now W34 KO9 L7 D1 has just captured the IBF Pan Pacific Super Bantamweight Belt as he beats Chinese titleholder Sen Chen W11 KO2 L2 D0 in a fight held at the Wynn Palace in Macau, China.

Mepranum who appeared to be in a terrific condition used his superior experience and ring generalship to claim the unanimous decision victory.

It was a needed notable comeback for the Filipino having suffered a recent three fight losing streak against Aarthur Villanueva, Luis Nery and Carlos Cuadras.

Mepranum was ecstatic about the victory:

“I felt so down in my career and this win is what I badly need. I feel rejuvenated with my new team at Sanman. I admit having neglected myself during training thus the losing streak I suffered.

“But I’m back and I’m onfire. I will train even harder. I am still young and can come back to the top rankings. I want to thank Sanman through my manager Jim Claude Manangquil for this very needed opportunity.”

For Sanman CEO Manangquil, “This is a good win for my team having lost the Ben Mananquil fight recently. I always know the true potential of Richie.

“We always believed in him. He just needed more focus and discipline. If he stays on the right track then he will soon contend again for a world title.”
