Since his win on against Ma Yi Ming on Friday, April 24, Randy Petalcorin has been rated No.6 by the Ring at 108 pounds.
Randy Petalcorin (23-1-1, 18 knockouts) of Davao City, Philippines blitzed the overmatched Chinese fighter Ma (12-6, 7 KOs) from the opening bell. Using his southpaw jab to occupy his opponent, Petalcorin opened up a barrage of straight left hands that sent Ma to the canvas face-first 50 seconds into the fight.
Petalcorin went back on the attack after the mandatory eight count and put Ma back on a knee seconds later for the second knockdown. Sensing the end was near, Petalcorin continued to pound away with one-two combinations and after toppling Ma for a third time, referee Raul Caiz Jr. stopped the bout at about the 1:43 mark.
Champion boxer Randy ”Ultra Tune” Petalcorin returns to the Philippines with his record now at 23-1-1 (18Kos) after defeating Ma Yi Ming in Beijing China with a first round knockout ! Determined Petalcorin raced off his stool to take the fight to the local favorite. Only 40 seconds into the bout he floored Ming and he never recovered. Referee Raul Caiz Jr. was forced to stop the contest at roughly 1:45 of round one following two more excellent knockdowns.
Well done to Randy! An excellent win and proof that hard work, determination and passion are key to success.
HE might not have the profile of some big-name Australian fighters but Australia’s world boxing champion Randy Petalcorin hopes to make further inroads on the international scene with a win against China’s Ma Yi Ming in Beijing on Friday.
The Melbourne-based Filipino-born Petalcorin defends his interim WBA world light-flyweight (59kg) title against the rugged challenger in Beijing’s 17,000-seat Capital Gym.
Both fighters are southpaws.
After his career was developed in Melbourne, Petalcorin won the title against Panama’s Walter Tello in Shanghai last August before a crowd that included his friend Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino great who will feature in the richest fight of all time next week against Floyd Mayweather.
Petalcorin’s manager Peter Maniatis said he first saw his fighter boxing in 2010 in Manila.
“It was on the undercard of a world title fight and I was immediately impressed,” Maniatis said.
“I signed a deal with Randy after that fight to co-manage him with the Sanman gym in General Santos City.
“My plan was to always bring Randy to Melbourne so he could train and fight under Mick Hargraves at the Boxing Fit gym in Port Melbourne.
“l am lucky that I had the support of Sean Buckley, the CEO of Ultratune to promote Randy at Malvern Town Hall in November 2013 and March 2014.

“It was a buzz for the local boxing industry to see a potential superstar such as Randy fight there.
