MANILA, Philippines–Rimar Metuda crowned himself as the Philippine super lightweight king after beating Alvin Lagumbay in a battle of southpaws during Manny Pacquiao Presents: Blow-By-Blow late Friday in General Santos City.

A part of the boxing legend’s 45th birthday celebrations, no less than Pacquiao was at ringside during the event held at Oval Plaza.

The weekly boxing program every Sunday night, Blow-By-Blow is now in its second year following its revival in November 2022.

“We are delighted that the public got to see another round of fights and this is exactly what we had promised to boxing fans and the Philippine boxing community,” Pacquiao, the premier product of Blow-By-Blow, said.

The last 12 months, Pacquiao staged shows not just in Metro Manila but in the provinces as well.

In 2024, Pacquiao has promised to put on more events so Philippine boxing gets a regular dose of fights.
