Gasca captures OPBF crown

ALA fighter Roli "Gasca" Nengasca carved out a thrilling 12-round majority decision win yesterday against reigning champion Oohashi Hiromasa to capture the OPBF super bantamweight crown in Aioi Hall, Kariya, Aichi, Japan.

A native of Japitan, Barili in Cebu, Gasca started out with quick left and right power punches that connected with the face of Hiromasa to take the lead in the scorecards of two of the three judges after four rounds.

He continued to land solid shots on his Japanese foe in the succeeding rounds but the defending champion bulldozed forward and landed some significant body shots of his own that had the Filipino boxer in defensive mode.
