Petalcorin says Alvarado used ‘dirty tactics’home/Sports/Top Sports/Petalcorin says Alvarado used ‘dirty tactics’Randy Petalcorin alleged that Felix Alvarado employed “dirty tactics” to beat him for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) light flyweight title on Monday at the Midas Hotel in Pasay City. I told the referee to warn Alvarado about it but he did not listen,” Petalcorin told The Manila Times in Filipino. Alvarado (34-2 win-loss record with 30 knockouts) punished the Filipino early in the seventh round with crisp body shots. A referee should have good eyesight so he can see those low blows,” added Petalcorin, whose win-loss-draw record fell to 29-3-1 with 22 knockouts. Unbeaten Dave Apolinario improved his record to 9-0 with six knockouts with a first round knockout victory over Joan Imperial in their non-title flyweight bout.
