Eman Bacosa Pacquiao scored a fourth-round technical knockout over Indonesia’s Reynold Kundimang in their scheduled eight-round lightweight bout during Kumong Bol-anon XXIV on Saturday night in Tagbilaran City.
The 22-year-old Filipino boxer controlled the fight early, establishing his jab and dictating the distance against Kundimang. Pacquiao began to break down his opponent in the third round with combinations to the body before closing the bout in the fourth.
Midway through the round, Pacquiao unleashed a series of punches along the ropes that forced the referee to stop the contest, handing him the stoppage victory.
The win marks another step in the young fighter’s professional career. While carrying the surname of eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, Eman continues to develop his own style in the lightweight division with improved composure and ring control.
Actress and former IAM ambassador Jillian Ward was among those present at ringside to watch the bout.
Following the victory, IAM Worldwide formally introduced Pacquiao as its newest brand ambassador.
“IAM Worldwide does not simply support promising athletes—we invest in their future,” the company said in a statement. “We are proud to grow alongside and be part of the journey of a future boxing champion. Eman embodies the discipline, humility, and relentless mindset required to succeed at the highest levels.”
As part of the partnership, Pacquiao is currently featured in a campaign promoting IAM Amazing Organic Barley Gummies. The campaign includes a billboard along EDSA in front of SM Megamall.
Pacquiao also appears in a commercial alongside fellow IAM ambassador and actor Piolo Pascual, whom he has long cited as one of his idols.
With the victory in Bohol and his new endorsement partnership, Pacquiao continues to build momentum in both his boxing career and public profile.
