Vincent Astrolabio Vs Guillermo Rigondeaux
His tremendous effort, hard weeks of training, and faith in himself have all paid off.
Vincent Astrolabio (17-3, 12 KOs) of General Santos City, Philippines, has won the most important fight of his 6-year pro boxing career, dropping and decisioning veteran former champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (20-3, 13 KOs) to claim the vacant WBC International Strap on Saturday, February 26 at the plush Emirates Golf Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The 24-year-old Astrolabio caught the distinguished Cuban at the right second in round eight, rocking him to the canvas, leading some spectators in attendance to believe that the Filipino may stop Rigondeux, a two-time Olympic Gold medalist who has only fought once before.
