Dacullo got the nod from two of the three judges with identical 57-56 scores from judges Sammy Bernabe and Nowel Haduca. Al Llaneta scored it the other way for Lagune 57-56.
The fight was close even though Dacullo dropped Lagune in the opening round.
Dacullo remained undefeated 4-0 with two knockouts, while Lagune suffered his first career loss and dropped to 3-1-2 with two knockouts.
Dacullo trains under the tutelage of veteran Cebuano trainer Brix Flores at the Noy Pacing Flores Boxing Academy in Mandaue City.
The 20-year-old Dacaullo started boxing back in 2017 and had over 20 amateur fights. He turned pro back in 2022 with a unanimous decision over Raffie Jamero.
Dacullo fought in Pacquiao’s “Blow by Blow” last year and scored a fifth-round stoppage of Eman Alajid.
In the main event, Albert Francisco (12-0, 8 KOs) stayed undefeated with an eighth-round technical knockout of Dennis Endar (6-2-1, 5 KOs). / EKA
