Who doesn’t enjoy a good brawl during an exciting sporting contest? It is popular in the USA and its many sports and seems to exist in the Philippines. John Amores was like an outraged commando who took out everyone in his way, doubling down, throwing punches at anyone who was within his reach, and even knocking out a young boy towards the end of the fight, which almost turned into an all-out clash.
John Amores of JRU and CJ Flores of CSB became entangled on the court during a play after the rebound, and the coaching staff of the Heavy Bombers had to help Amores take a break to deal with the situation.
However, Amores became involved in a verbal dispute with an individual on the other bench, which forced him to run over to the Benilde side and start throwing punches, which hit numerous St. Benilde players.
The Blazers’ Mark Sangco was observed attempting to punch Amores to stop him from approaching, but Amores continued on his frenzy and struck another Blazers player in the eye and another in the jaw. After an hour of review, the NCAA opted to call the game, with the Blazers taking a landslide victory and the security led Amores to the locker room.
