Two days to go !!

Lots of great fights in Pangasinan this Thursday, but especially excited for these main three.

Benny Ligas and Genisis Libranza have genuine claims to being the Philippines best Flyweight, as their records attest. This one is impossible to pick the winner with any confidence.

Jonniel Laurente is unbeaten, but he jumps hugely in class when he meets Pablito Canada, a guy that has delivered great performances at the very highest level. Canada has been in with JonJon Estrada, Richard Pumicpic and no less than Charly Suarez in recent bouts. And let's not forget that he also had a huge KO win over top unbeaten prospect Michael Casama not long ago  - so this is a huge task for Laurente and one that will be a fantastic contest.

RoyRoy Sumugat and Richard Bulacan are two of the Philippines very best when they are "on", and be in zero doubt, both these guys will be prepped for killer performances this Thursday in Pangasinan.

Trần Tấn Quang Đạo đã có chiến thắng đồng thuận trước Trần Ngọc Phương Hiếu trong trận mở màn VSP Pro 3.

Đòn tay sau, đấm móc, và cả những cú body-shot của Quang Đạo tiếp tục đạt hiệu quả cực tốt. Không ngạc nhiên khi võ sỹ kinh nghiệm hơn, tuân thủ tốt chiến thuật của BHL đã giành chiến thắng với điểm số tuyệt đối 3-0. Xin chúc mừng Trần Tấn Quang Đạo với chiến thắng đầu tiên trên sàn Boxing Pro, sau 3 lần thượng đài

Nguyễn Hoàng Thắng thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Thành Phong ở  hạng 67kg VSP Pro 3.

Thành Phong tiếp cận chủ động và có đòn đấm móc hiệu quả trong hiệp 1, nhưng Hoàng Thắng cũng rất nhanh tìm cách điều chỉnh cự ly khoảng cách để giảm sự hưng phấn cũng như sự nguy hiểm từ đối thủ.

Hiệp đấu thứ 2 không có nhiều đột biến mà tốc độ của trận đấu chỉ được đẩy lên cao ở hiệp 3 với những pha chủ động ra đòn của Hoàng Thắng. Tay đấm đến từ Hà Nội từng vô địch giải Boxing trẻ và giải CLB quốc gia đã phần nào cho thấy kinh nghiệm bằng những tình huống di chuyển hiệu quả và tung ra những đòn đấm móc chất lượng.

Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng ưu thế nghiêng rõ rệt hơn về Hoàng Thắng. Một trong số những cú đấm móc uy lực của Hoàng Thắng đã khiến Thành Phong dính đòn khá nặng. Nỗ lực dồn ép và ra đòn của Thành Phong giảm rõ rệt sự hiệu quả vì thiếu sự đột biến và bị đối thủ bắt bài..

Chung cuộc Hoàng Thắng được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm nhỉnh hơn và thắng tuyệt đối trước Thành Phong.

Thái Hoàng Huy gây ấn tượng ở VSP Pro 2 với chiến thắng TKO, nhưng đối thủ tối nay của anh là võ sỹ kỳ cựu 34 tuổi từng tập nhiều môn võ và đã thi đấu ở giải võ thuật tổng hợp Lion Championship 2022, Vũ Văn Hải. Lối di chuyển khá ngẫu hứng và combo trả đòn bằng những cú đấm móc và đấm vòng của Văn Hải khiến Hoàng Huy rất khó tiếp cận và thậm chí còn dính đòn.

Hiệp 2 mọi thứ trở nên tốt hơn cho Hoàng Huy khi anh có 1 cú phản đòn tay sau và 1 cú đấm vòng chuẩn xác. Dù có phần ức chế vì lối di chuyển và động tác khiêu khích từ Văn Hải nhưng rõ ràng Hoàng Huy đạt hiệu quả ra đòn tốt hơn ở hiệp đấu này.

Tình huống đáng chú ý ở hiệp 3 đó là Văn Hải chủ động khiêu khích, nhưng anh lại hớ hênh hạ cả hai tay thõng xuống và nhanh chóng dính combo đòn của Hoàng Huy. Ở hiệp đấu này Văn Hải tiếp tục bị trọng tài nhắc nhở thái độ thi đấu cũng như ra đòn phạm quy khi dùng mu bàn tay. Cả hai đều có thêm những cú đấm móc thành công, nhưng không ai tỏ ra vượt trội ở hiệp này.

Ở hiệp đấu cuối cùng Hoàng Huy ghi thêm điểm với 1 tình huống jab hiệu quả, nhưng võ sỹ trẻ này cũng tỏ rõ sự ức chế và quá khích trước lối đánh của đối thủ. Thêm một hiệp đấu không có đột biến và kết quả cũng mang đến sự bất ngờ đôi chút khi Văn Hải thắng điểm không đồng thuận (2-1). Đây là chiến thắng đầu tiên của Vũ Văn Hải trên sàn boxing pro.

Võ Lê Trung Long thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Quí Thịnh tại hạng 63,5 kg sự kiện VSP Pro 3

Trung Long bắt đầu bằng những cú jab tay trái cực nhanh và sau đó là combo đòn đấm móc suýt chút nữa đã tạo ra khác biệt. Tuy vậy, tay đấm Quý Thịnh cũng rất biết cách phản đòn khi bị đối thủ dồn ép. Hiệp 1 cả hai võ sỹ đều tích cực ra đòn nhưng sự vượt trội rất khó phân định.

Bước sang hiệp 2, Trung Long bắt đầu tỏ rõ sự nhỉnh hơn. Combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay và cú jab của tay đấm này khiến Quý Thịnh dính những đòn nặng nề. Thế nên dù có 1 tình huống phản đòn hiệu quả thì hiệp đấu này Quý Thịnh vẫn lép vế thấy rõ.

Khá bất ngờ khi hiệp 3 Trung Long dính vết cắt nhỏ bị chảy máu ở đuôi mắt phải. Ở hiệp đấu này dù không vượt trội nhưng Quý Thịnh lại tạo ra 3 tình huống ra đòn tay sau hiệu quả. Trong khi đó Trung Long sau nửa đầu hiệp phần nào bị ảnh hưởng bởi vết rách ở đuôi mắt đã tìm lại nhịp thi đấu và có 1 cú jab hiệu quả ở nửa cuối hiệp.

Sang hiệp đấu cuối cùng Quý Thịnh xuống sức thấy rõ, anh gần như không có đòn nào hiệu quả. Ngược lại tay đấm từ Bình Dương boxing team, Trung Long đã tìm lại được sự kiểm soát như 2 hiệp đầu và tung ra những đòn đấm móc cực nặng. Ở những giây cuối cùng Quý Thịnh chỉ còn biết chống đỡ hoặc chủ động giữ khoảng cách né đòn. May mắn cho tay đấm đến Manny Boxing Cần Thơ khi anh tránh được kết quả bị knock-down.

Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Trung Long hoàn toàn xứng đáng.

Huỳnh Thị Vũ Duyên có chiến thắng trước Hoàng Thùy Linh trong trận đấu nữ duy nhất tại VSP Pro 3

Huỳnh Duyên nhập cuộc chủ động, tích cực ra đòn và cũng đạt hiệu quả tốt hơn hẳn võ sỹ trẻ 17 tuổi Thùy Linh đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy. Những combo đòn 1-2 và đòn đấm móc của Huỳnh Duyên giúp cô ghi điểm. Ngược lại, Thùy Linh dù sở hữu chiều cao tốt 1,7m nhưng tỏ ra chậm chạp và ra đòn thiếu hiệu quả.

Bước sang hiệp 2 Thùy Linh chủ động tạo ra sức ép khi tiếp cận và liên tục ra combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay. Tuy vậy, độ sát thương không đạt mấy hiệu quả khi Huỳnh Duyên phòng thủ tốt. Thậm chí tổ hợp đòn chuẩn xác của Huỳnh Duyên còn giúp cô ghi điểm cuối hiệp. Rõ ràng, tay đấm từng giành HCV Cup CLB, HCV giải trẻ, Huỳnh Duyên vẫn vượt trội.

Kịch bản trận đấu không thay đổi ở những hiệp còn lại khi Huỳnh Duyên với sự linh hoạt trong di chuyển và kết hợp combo đòn tốt hơn tiếp tục ghi điểm với những cú đấm nặng ký chuẩn xác. Kết thắng điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Huỳnh Duyên trước Thùy Linh, tay đấm từng giành HCĐ giải trẻ 2020 là hoàn toàn thuyết phục.

63,5kg: Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận trước Hà Minh TuấnTrận so găng thú vị giữa những tay đấm ở hai thế hệ. Nguyễn Văn Hải là tay đấm cựu trào từng vô địch quốc gia nhiều năm và giành huy chương quốc tế. Còn Hà Minh Tuấn đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy từng giành HCB giải các CLB, HCV giải trẻ và thắng 1 trận ở sự kiện VSP Pro.Trận đấu này rất được chờ đợi nhưng thực tế trên ring Văn Hải đã nhanh chóng tỏ rõ bản lĩnh kinh nghiệm dày dạn và sức nặng cú đấm vượt trội đàn em. Một đòn đấm vòng tay phải uy lực của Văn Hải và serie đòn ngay sau đó tưởng như đã kết liễu trận đấu ngay trong hiệp 1.Cũng phải dành cho Minh Tuấn lời khen khi tay đấm trẻ từ Hà Nội đã trụ vững thêm 2 hiệp đấu dù bị đàn anh dồn ép và liên tục hứng đòn từ những cú móc, jab và body-shot như búa bổ của Văn Hải. Bước sang hiệp cuối cùng, Minh Tuấn có thêm 2 tình huống jab và đấm vòng ấn tượng, nhưng sự chênh lệch vẫn nghiêng hẳn về Văn Hải.Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho tay đấm 35 tuổi Văn Hải. Theo tiết lộ ở cuộc phỏng vấn sau trận, Văn Hải sẽ nỗ lực tập luyện để chuẩn bị cho 1 trận tranh đai vô địch vào cuối năm nay.

Trần Quang Lộc thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Bùi Việt Hoàng tại hạng cân 61kg

Màn so găng hấp dẫn từ hai võ sỹ đã giành thành tích tốt ở giải trẻ quốc gia và đặc biệt đến từ hai đội boxing kình địch là Hà Nội và Quân đội. Đây cũng là trận đấu cuối của sự kiện VSP Pro 3 và hai võ sỹ đã mang đến bầu không khí phấn khích khi chủ động nhập cuộc tích cực và liên tục trao đổi đòn.

Tốc độ, lối di chuyển linh hoạt và cách tung ra combo đòn 1-2 đặc trưng là lợi thế của Quang Lộc. Trong khi đó Việt Hoàng cho thấy sự chủ động trong tiếp cận, duy trì cự ly áp sát và tung ra những đòn đấm vòng bằng cả hai tay đạt độ chuẩn xác cao.

Cả 3 hiệp đầu thế trận không hoàn toàn nghiêng về tay đấm nào. Tốc độ cực nhanh cùng những màn trao đổi đòn liên tụ của hai võ sỹ khiến khán giả hưng phấn. Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng Việt Hoàng phần nào ghi điểm với 2 tình huống đấm móc trúng đích lợi hại. Những bước di chuyển ngẫu hứng trước khi ra đòn của Việt Hoàng cũng khiến Quang Lộc khó phán đoán để phòng thủ tốt.

Khép lại một trận đấu căng thẳng, màn công bố kết quả cũng "nóng" không kém khi Quang Lộc được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm cao hơn và đồng nghĩa với chiến thắng đồng thuận cho tay đấm trẻ của Quân Đội. Kết quả này rõ ràng đã khiến Việt Hoàng và BHL Hanoi Boxing Academy ngạc nhiên. Đáng tiếc cho Việt Hoàng bởi ở sự kiện VSP Pro 2 anh cũng đã thi đấu tốt nhưng chỉ có 1 kết quả hòa đồng thuận trước Phan Minh Quân.

On March 25th, Ho Chi Minh City will once again host the highly anticipated professional boxing event, VSP PRO 3. This will be the third installment of the series, which has already gained a reputation for showcasing some of the most talented boxers in the country.

The event will feature both returning boxers who are looking to continue their professional careers, as well as debut fighters who are eager to make their mark in the sport. VSP PRO 2, which took place last month, was a thrilling event that left fans eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Boxing fans can expect a night of intense action and skillful displays of athleticism, as some of the most promising boxers in Vietnam take to the ring.

The event will be held at a VSP Boxing Gym in Ho Chi Minh City, and tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Fans who are unable to attend the event in person can still catch the action via live on VTV Cab and Youtube.

Overall, VSP PRO 3 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with an impressive lineup of talented boxers set to take center stage. Boxing enthusiasts and sports fans alike should not miss this opportunity to witness some of the most skilled fighters in Vietnam compete in the ring.

Vietnam has recently seen the emergence of some great fighters, and Nguyen Van Hai is undoubtedly one of the greatest among them. The "Hanoi Hitman" is set to grace the ring once again, this time at VSP PRO #3 in HCMC. Fans are eagerly waiting for his showdown with promising young northern boxer Ha Minh Tuan, who has already made a mark with an impressive debut win in February at VSP PRO #2.

Nguyen Van Hai is a force to be reckoned with, and his appearance at Fortunes of War in Ho Tram last December was a testament to that fact. In a dominating performance, stopping unbeaten Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan.

It's not just his impressive win record that makes him stand out, but his boxing skills and style that sets him apart from the rest. He has a deadly combination of speed, agility, and power that make him a dangerous opponent for anyone who dares to face him in the ring.

His upcoming bout at VSP PRO is a testament to his dedication and hard work. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action once again, and with his impressive track record, it's hard not to feel excited.

Nguyen Van Hai is a true icon in the world of Vietnamese boxing, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.

VSP boxers Charly Suarez and Nguyễn Văn Hải are arguably the best fighters that their respective countries have ever produced.

The two are friends from their days as national team amateurs, and they even fought in an exhibition mstch at Victory8 in Hanoi in 2019.

Last night in Sydney, Charly Suarez moved a step closer to his world title dream with a knockout win over Australian Paul "Showtime" Fleming, an unbeaten star unbeaten in 28 fights.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is rapidly climbing in the professional ranks also. The "Hanoi Hitman" has 3 wins, and will be looking to add to his tally at VSP PRO on Saturday March 25th.

*story courtesy of Manila Standard

Former Olympian Charly Suarez has vowed to go all out against fellow undefeated Paul Fleming of Australia in their International Boxing Organization super featherweight title bout on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.

"Pambihira lang itong ganitong pagkakataon. Ito na talaga chance ko,” said Suarez, who at 34 cannot afford to be delayed any longer in his quest for a world boxing title. “Ang totoo kong kalaban is sarili ko. Kahit saang larangan, malaking part ‘yung maturity. Iba ka nang mag-isip kaysa dati.”

“Basta ako lalaban ako at dapat makuha ko ito. Ito na ‘yung level ng mindset ko ngayon. ‘Di ko na pakakawalan, wala ng excuse,” added Suarez, a former Filipino Olympian, who spent most of his boxing career as a national athlete.

After beating all his first 14 opponents, eight of them via stoppage, Suarez is facing his toughest test in his two-year professional boxing career—a taller foe, who has 29 wins with 18 knockouts and without a defeat.

Suarez’s manager and coach Delfin Boholst said they have done everything in their training camp to make Charly stronger than ever.

“Makikita natin si Charly may edad na pero, ‘yung body niya sariwa. Sa laban makikita niyo talaga ‘yung ginawa namin na preparation ni Charly,” he said.

Without the backing of a moneyed manager and promoter, Suarez’s camp turned to friends and supporters for their needs. Some of those who answered their plea for support were former Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas and businessman-philanthropist Edward Aguilar.

Sinas and Aguilar, who are close friends and partners in several business ventures, provided financial support for training and other needs of Suarez.

Suarez is coming off a big conquest of the International Boxing Federation Asia junior lightweight title with a technical knockout win over Defry Palulu of Indonesia at the Grand Ho Tram Hotel in Vietnam last Dec. 10.

Two months earlier, the many-time Southeast Asian Games champion decisioned compatriot Carlo Magali to successfully defend the World Boxing Association Asia Super Featherweight title.

As an amateur, Suarez won three Southeast Asian Games golds—two in the lightweight division (2011 Jakarta, 2019 Manila) and one in the featherweight category (2009 Laos)—plus a bronze in 2017 in Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, the left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez as he has set a fight strategy that suits him against a smaller opponent.

“If Suarez comes at me, I have a counter-punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him,” the Australian said.

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez has just walked in to Kevin Betts Stadium in Sydney.

Suarez v Fleming coming soon!

SUAREZ CAPTURES FOUR BELTS

story courtesy BoxingTalk.com

Australia’s undefeated indigenous boxer Paul Fleming is on a mission to win his next three fights and set up the opportunity to capture a 130-pound title. After years of low activity (three fights since the start of 2019), Fleming's next step takes place in St. Marys, Sydney on March 15th when he faces undefeated Filipino challenger Charly Suarez. Fleming comes from the small town of Tully in outback northern Australia where he first started boxing at age 12 in 2001.

Fleming (29-0-1) finds himself carrying on the tradition of past Australian indigenous boxers such as Aboriginal boxing legend Lionel Rose who unified the world titles (1964-76), superstar rugby league players and champions of the boxing ring Tony Mundine and his son Anthony Mundine Jr., Dave Sands inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame as “the greatest boxers never to have won a world title”, 2005 world champion Robert Peden, Wally Carr, who competed in six divisions over a stellar fifteen-year career, and Daniel Geale who won two titles before losing to Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square in 2014.

While Fleming takes  confidence from his unbeaten streak, he accepts as “a matter of fact” that he has been ignored on the international stage. “By now I should have become a world champion. I see it as the way of the boxing world, and the cards didn’t fall my way. But I feel my destiny is in the winning circle, as the coming world champion.“

As for Suarez (14-0), Fleming says, “Suarez, like me, hasn’t been beaten. This is where our paths come together – here in Sydney – and I am ready.”

The left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez, who is 34 years old and almost 4 inches shorter in size. “All my fights have been about fighting with a winning strategy,” he asserts. “If Suarez comes at me I have a counter punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him.”

Fleming has spent several months sparring with top Aussies, including the Maloney brothers. “Neither of us held back while sparring.” he said after some competitive rounds with Andrew Moloney.

But Fleming knows that the window is closing for him to win a world title. "What’s been so good for me in boxing is that I have not been beaten, not once. I haven’t been bashed, and I have gained a lot of experience. I’ve fought against the best in Australia and now it’s time to break out and take on the best in the world... after this the world title will be one big step closer.”

Set to be Australia's very best fight of 2023.

The match up of the Philippines and Australia's two unbeaten champions.

Paul "Showtime" Fleming 28-0 goes head to head with the King's Warrior Charly Suarez 14-0 for the IBF, WBC, WBA and IBO belts.

Wednesday March 15th in Sydney Australia.

Cagayan de Oro fight legend Mark John Yap had a busy start to the new year.

Yap finished 2022 with a torrid exhibition bout in Ho Tram Vietnam, followed up shortly after with an explosive win in Manila against hard man Leonardo Doronio. But amongst the close scheduling of fights, he also experienced the blessing of the birth of his baby daughter Yuri.

The Yap family took some much needed "down time" and this week, the Mindanao star has resumed light training again.

It is expected that fans will see Mark John Yap back in the ring perhaps late April or early May.

Can't wait  !!!

The Hanoi Hitman returns to the ring later this month at VSP Gym in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.

Despite a wealth of various fight form experience, Hai is a relative newcomer to professional boxing.

He ventured to Manila in August 2022, and showed lots of ring rust when outpointed by the very promising and unbeaten Jerald Into.

But the granite featured Hanoi boxer made amends at his next bout in emphatic fashion - a stoppage victory over Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan. Nguyễn Văn Hải dropped his opponent in the first, before finishing his task with power shots in round 3.

Nguyễn Văn Hải will be appearing at "VSP PRO" on Saturday March 25th at VSP Gym in District 1 HCMC.

HANOI'S NEW KID ON THE BLOCK!

‍

Outstanding youth prospect Bùi Việt Hoàng made a big splash at his pro debut in February 2023. The Hanoi Boxing Academy protégée was exhilarating, fighting a Draw with and equally talented Phan Minh Quân from HCMC.

‍

Hoàng returns to VSP PRO later this month, and gets an opportunity to open his professional account. Watch this northern boy - he is just turned 18 and may just end up one of Vietnam's best fighters !

Australian champion Paul Fleming 28-0 meets Philippines freak talent Charly Suarez 14-0

Wednesday March 15th Sydney

The word is that Australian Paul Fleming has been on fire in training, and has been shredding sparring partners in advance of his huge clash with Charly Suarez on March 15th.

So much so that Team Fleming has been forced to bring some big names into camp in order to be pitch perfect for Suarez.

George Kambosos has done rounds, and now former world champ Andrew Maloney is the latest to lend his skills. The boys did some high quality rounds this week and Fleming really impressed.

The Aussie star will spar again with Maloney this Sunday as part of a public workout to promote the impending battle with Suarez.

There is huge confidence coming from those close to Fleming that he will not only hand the whiz kid Suarez his first defeat, it will come by way of stoppage.

Paul "Showtime" Fleming is unbeaten in 28 fights, with 18 of those wins coming by way of KNOCKOUT.

Philippines best Charly Suarez goes head to head with Australia’s best Paul "Showtime" Fleming.

Wednesday March 15th Sydney Australia

‍

Philippines star Charly Suarez heads to Australia next month to take on the unbeaten local champion Paul Fleming (28-0)

Suarez was an acclaimed amateur, and despite a relatively recent transition to the pro ranks, the King's Warrior has already racked up 14 impressive wins.

And identical to Fleming, the Davao fighter also retains an unbeaten record.

But what seems astounding about Suarez is that, for a boxer with such a wealth of amateur experience, he has improved markedly since turning pro.

So much so, he actually appears to be an even better prospect at the longer round format.

That said, Suarez was touted as the "next big thing" when he decided to finally go pro, and here is some ringside action taken from the first professional performance of Charly Suarez.

He shows all that dynamism that he is renowned for, and it will give you some insight as to what Australia will be getting come March 15th.

Arnel Baconaje takes the show on the road, when he heads to General Santos City for a national title bid on Sunday February 26th.

"The Silencer" faces top local prospect Presco Carcosia (10-2) for the Philippines national super featherweight title. Success guarantees the winner a top 10 ranking with the OPBF.

Arnel Baconaje has been in great form, having competed recently in Vietnam in December 2022.

Despite competing above his weight class, the pinoy turned in a fantastic performance in his bid for the IBF Asia Lightweight title.

In a match that could have gone either way, Baconaje lost narrowly on points on two cards, and was given a draw on another. It was an epic contest, and a valiant effort by Vietnam's Dinh Hong Quân, but there were many in attendance that thought the win should have gone to The Silencer.

You can watch the match here and judge for yourselves.  It is the brand of Arnel Baconaje action that will be heading to GenSan next week and winning a national title !

Friday training at Elorde Southbox , and there were three really good ones in the ring today !

King's Warrior Charly Suarez, MMA prospect Ian Batoto, and the Silencer Arnel Baconaje engaged in light sparring for upcoming bouts.

Baconaje heads to GenSan this week for a crack at the Philippines national belt on Sunday February 26th.

Charly Suarez has a big assignment if his own. He heads to Sydney very soon, where he will challenge Aussie #1 Paul Fleming for four major belts. A win places Suarez in the world top 10 with three of those, and perhaps makes him mandatory for both IBF and IBO world titles.

Exciting fights coming up !

Arnel Baconaje was recently in Vietnam at VSP Gym prepping for a December match with Vietnam  champ Dinh Hong Quân.

That was a bout in Ho Tram for the IBF Asia Lightweight title, and despite the match being above his usual weight class, Baconaje and Quân fought an extremely close battle.

The Philippines man revered as "The Silencer" returns to the ring in General Santos City (the former home of Manny Pacquiao) on Sunday February 26th. And this time, it is another big fight.

Baconaje takes on the "the Iceman" Presco Carcosia (10-2 9KO) for the Philippines national championship at Super Featherweight.

The weight class will be more favorable this time, but he faces a seriously skilled and fast opponent in Carcosia, so it should be a great main event.

VSP are big admirers of Arnel Baconaje, who always prepares well and turns in excitement filled performances, so we wish him luck in pursuit of the Philippines title next Sunday.

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez is ready to take on Australia's best, and heading for a world title.

This is a great undercard bout in Pangasinan. Expect RoyRoy Sumugat to come swinging that HAMMER  !

Mark John Yap opened his new year account in stunning fashion, scoring a stoppage win over what appeared to be a very good version of Philippines Lightweight Leonardo Doronio.

Unable to secure a suitable 130 opponent for his first hitout of the year, Yap opted to jump a weight class and get a physical exam with the vastly experienced and durable Doronio.

It was very noticeable at the weigh-in, that aside from being the much larger boxer, Leonardo Doronio was in the best physical shape that he has been in for a very long time.

And he performed very well, while it lasted, and we look forward to seeing Doronio back again this year to see what he can produce.

But for Mark John Yap, it really was a patient yet lethal execution of a necessary task, and certainly showed shades of the brutality that he inflicted on Japan's best fighters prior to the pandemic.

Watch the full fight here, and you will see this dog has got a bite worse than his bark.

Yap Yap !

Le Hoang Hiep is calling out anybody willing to get in the ring with him February 25th  for the upcoming VSP PRO at VSP Gym in HCMC.

But he has some ominous advice :

"Wear two mouthguards, and take out some insurance. Life insurance I mean !

I watched that guy JonJon Estrada recently, and wow, that's a guy who really knows how to clean house. I think I've learned some new stuff watching him.

I'm ready to drop bombs on February 25. Baby Kong is coming to put the judges out of a job ! BOOOM !!"

Paul Fleming has questioned the experience of Liam Wilson's team after the younger man's controversial world-title loss, saying he would never have let the weigh-in go ahead.

And the ageing super featherweight says he will not be a "rebound fight" after being called out following Wilson's gut-wrenching defeat in Phoenix.

Wilson has appealed against the decision in his loss to Emanuel Navarrete, keeping alive slim hopes of a rematch after footage showed a 27-second allowance - almost triple the traditional count - when the Australian floored the red-hot favourite in the fourth round.

The rank outsider, in his US debut, also weighed in about 2kg lighter than expected in a bizarre lead-in drama that had Wilson's camp threatening to boycott the WBO title fight after claims of cheating.

Wilson was eventually stopped in the ninth round on Friday by a resurgent Navarrete, who became a three-division champion and improved to a perfect 11 wins in world-title fights to set up a lucrative blockbuster with fellow Mexican Oscar Valdez.

"I would have said, 'No way, these scales aren't right' and stopped it then and there and requested another set of scales," Fleming told AAP of the weigh-in drama in which Navarrete came in narrowly under the 59kg limit.

"I guess that's just inexperience."

Keen to capitalise on a profile boost after scaring the likely future hall-of-famer, Wilson has called out Fleming for an all-Australian blockbuster.

But Fleming (28 wins, one no result) fights at the same weight, is world ranked by rival bodies the WBA and IBF and is quickly rebuilding his following in a late-blooming career.

If the 34-year-old beats impressive Filipino Charly Suarez (18-0) on March 16 in Sydney he will move closer to an overdue title shot - but potentially further from a duel with WBO favourite Wilson.

He just got his shot at the world title," Beijing Olympian Fleming said.

"I'm nearly 35 and still haven't had mine, so it's the Suarez fight first and then I'm not going to fight Liam for his ego or a rebound.

"I only want fights that'll move me closer to a world title.

"If it is one of those, then 150 per cent let's do it; we've been calling for it and it's a bit funny now it suits him he's calling it out."

If the pair continue to diverge it could mean they only fight to unify different world-title belts.

"Liam's very dangerous very early, but from what I've seen he loses his way (in the later rounds)," Fleming said.

"He's got a good left hook, but that one shot ain't going to work fighting me.

"I'm more elusive; you've got to have more in your repertoire."

Le Hoang Hiep took a dive in the deep end when he took on the Philippines Jetro Pabustan last December.

Despite jumping some weight classes, the rumored Russian gang member was confident he could handle the former WBO World title contender, and true to his word, he delivered a great all action display.

Baby Kong will return to the ring for VSP PRO this month, and as usual, he is immodest about his prospects.

"Please get me the address of my opponent's parents, I will send an apology note and flowers.

Sorry for the ass kickin' It was just all business. Signed Baby Kong!"
