The freakishly talented Charly Suarez makes his international debut here, and with an IBF title against Indonesia’s number one fighter just to add more spice.
But why would we expect any less from a man who is very definitely the best technical boxer that the Philippines has ever produced.
Suarez has racked up 15 wins at home at breakneck speed, and has perhaps lost 2 rounds in the process. He finished every bout unscathed and with a smile, suggesting it is all easy work for him. To add merit to this, Suarez certainly hasn’t had it easy, meeting guys like JonJon Estrada, Tomjune Mangubat, Delmar Pellio, Mark John Yap and Carlo Magali along the way. These are high skilled veterans that have a commonality – they punch with hurtful intent, yet Suarez has breezed through as if he is in a training session, picking up WBA and national titles into the bargain.
Charly Suarez moves on to another significant opponent here, Indonesia’s best fighter Defry Palulu.
This is a guy that Suarez was meant to fight in early 2020 for the WBC title, and it was a fight that the Indonesian was favoured to win. However the match was canceled due to the pandemic, and thankfully, these two great fighters get to meet in Vietnam for the IBF Asia belt.
In spite of Suarez’s amazing success as a pro, many of his countrymen doubt his ability to impact at world level. They cite his age and lack of power as the main impediments. But those close to the camp disagree!
This may interest some.
The Suarez team maintain he has lots of power, and that he had no intent on hurting his own countrymen. His Objective at home was to get valuable rounds and build a petrol tank for bigger fights abroad. Mission accomplished !
He says there will be absolutely no mercy shown to any foreign rivals, and if there is a knockout to be had, you’re going to see it in high definition !
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez is ready to take on Australia's best, and heading for a world title.
Charly Suarez (14-0) v Paul Fleming (28-0)
Wednesday March 15th Sydney Australia
This is genuine BEST v BEST !!!!
"Charly Suarez, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to take down undefeated 28-0 Australian champion Paul "Showtime" Fleming, and bring back the WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO belts. All of them !
In doing so, you will do your country a great service, and you will go to top 10 in the world, and become mandatory for IBF and IBO World titles. You will also become the likely target of Liam Wilson, the first man to drop Emanuel Navarrete.
This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.
Good luck Charly "
Philippines Charly Suarez looking to bring down Aussie champion Paul "Showtime" Fleming and move into the world top 10 with the WBC, IBF and IBO.
Don't miss history in the making !
Wednesday 15th March
Kevin Betts Stadium
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."
The team of Liam Wilson have turned their attentions to Australian indigenous star Paul Fleming, and possibly to Teofimo Lopez conqueror George Kambosos, if they are not granted a rematch after Saturday's controversial title fight in the US.
The No Limit team have lodged a complaint regarding the delay (up to 28 seconds) afforded to Emmanuel Navarrete after Wilson dropped him in the 4th round of their fight.
Paul Fleming has an outstanding record of 28 and 0, and many regard the man dubbed "Showtime" as the most naturally talented Aussie fighter in recent years. He is also ranked in the top 15 with the IBF, WBA and WBC, and will force his way into the top 10 assuming he is successful in his next bout on March 16th.
Paul Fleming meets Philippines star Charly Suarez in Sydney, and it appears the teams of Wilson and Fleming are both totally overlooking the unbeaten pinoy.
The word is strong in Australia that the Fleming team are extremely confident of delivering the King's Warrior his first loss, and are predicting it to come in spectacular fashion. They feel a knockout win is required to stamp his claims to being Australia's best in the weight class.
Alternatively, a win by Suarez elevates the Philippines man to #3 with the IBF, and a possible mouth watering clash with Liam Wilson.
Two of the best young emerging talents in the Philippines come out of Quibors Boxing Gym in Manila.
Weljon Mindoro and Jerald Into are still in the learning phase of their boxing careers, but have performed amazingly well so far, and have both managed to maintain unbeaten records.
Unlike many of their industry colleagues, Mindoro and Into are blessed with height and wing span, and this will be a huge asset once they progress to international bouts. Jerald Into has already had a taste, putting on a great performance to outpoint top Vietnam visitor Nguyễn Văn Hải at home in Manila in August 2022.
The two young fighters attracted some interested onlookers today, and were watched on by top trainer and fighter combination Delfin Boholst and Charly Suarez.\
Two of the most promising young boxers in the Philippines got a surprise visit from the King's Warrior Charly Suarez earlier today.
Jerald Into and Weljon Mindoro are both improving boxers on a steep learning curve, but have been outstanding in their ring performances so far. They also show all the attributes of excellent fundamentals provided by the hard working coaches at Quibors Boxing Gym.
Into is a tall southpaw lightweight, who is unbeaten in 7 fights. His most recent performance was a really impressive showing, stopping the experienced Monico Laurente in the 4th round.
Middleweight Weljon Mindoro has been nothing short of outstanding in his short career, also unbeaten, and scoring 10 knockouts in his 10 wins thus far. The youngster also has experience sparring with Olympic medallist Eumir Marcial, and it is pretty clear that "Triggerman" is running out of opposition at home.
It is hoped that both these top prospects will get an opportunity to show their wares in Vietnam in 2O23.
Charly Suarez will begin training soon as he has an important assignment in Australia on March 17th. The King's Warrior takes on Australia's best Paul Fleming, who with a record of 28 and 0, is no easy task !
Then again, beating Charly Suarez is no simple feat either !!

Former Olympian and still unbeaten pro boxer Charly Suarez faces a fellow undefeated opponent in Paul Fleming of Australia in what could be the toughest stumbling block to his world title dream.
The showdown between the two undefeated fighters will be held in Australia on March 17, with multiple super featherweight 130lb titles on the line, including the International Boxing Federation Intercontinental, World Boxing Association Oceania, World Boxing Council Asian Boxing Council and the International Boxing Organization Intercontinental belts.
“This will be the biggest fight in Australia this year,” said Robert Hill, Suarez’s promoter.
“Paul Fleming is Showtime, and he is facing the best boxer I have seen from the Philippines — point blank,” he added.
Suarez, who has 18 wins with 8 knockouts, is still fresh from his conquest of the International Boxing Federation Asia junior lightweight 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.
“Paghahandaan namin ito ng maayos. Magandang opportunity ‘pag nakuha namin ito” said Suarez’s coach and manager, Delfin Boholst.
Hill said Suarez was earlier being pitted against Japan’s top-rated Super Featherweight Yoshimutsu Kimura for the IBF Asia title, but the Japanese was knocked out in a non-title bout last week in Tokyo, hence, the focus was moved to Fleming.
Suarez’s exploits in the ring was also recognized by the Philippine Army, which promoted him to Private First Class for his achievements last year, including being named Boxer of the Month by the WBA Asia.
No less than Army Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., pinned the new rank on Suarez in a ceremony held at the Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City on Jan. 13.
As an amateur, Suarez won three golds — two in lightweight (2011 Jakarta, 2019 Manila) and one in the featherweight (2009 Laos) — and one bronze (2017 Kuala Lumpur) at the Southeast Asian Games. He also competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he dropped a split decision to the unbeaten IBF world champion Joe Cordina.
Paul Fleming of Australia is also a man of many accomplishments. The indigenous star is a former esteemed amateur and Olympian, and is undefeated in 28 professional fights.
Nation’s pride in professional boxing, the unbeaten (14-0-0) Charly “King’s Warrior” Suarez paid a courtesy call on GAB Chairman Atty. Richard S. Clarin at Games and Amusements Board (GAB) Office in Makati City.
The PH Army boxer Suarez won his fight against Indonesian Defry Palulu last December 10, 2022 in Vietnam for the vacant IBF Asia Super Featherweight Title by a Technical Knock-Out in the 2nd Round of a 12-Round bout.
Suarez (IBF no. 8 ) is slated to fight against a tough opponent Australian champion Paul Fleming (IBF no. 13) who has a record of 28-0-1. The clash of both undefeated boxers will be held in Australia on March 17, 2023.
Chairman Clarin personally praised the multi-awarded Suarez for his unblemished record. Knowing that every boxer who fights abroad has individual specific issues, Chairman Clarin pointed out that, among other assistance, GAB, through the GAB Legal Division headed by Atty. Ermar Benitez, is more than willing to provide legal support especially with contract negotiations.
Suarez openly shared his experiences in professional boxing and very much appreciate the dedication of GAB in coming up with fair contract agreement for fights abroad, simplification of document processing, protection of boxers by fair matchmaking, and provision for other benefits to professional boxers.
Chairman Clarin concluded the meeting with words of encouragement to the boxing champ with assurance of full support to all Filipino boxers here and abroad.
This just got made !!!!!!
Yes, it's official - Philippines best Charly Suarez will take on Australia's best Paul Fleming in a showdown for the IBF intercontinental, WBA Oceania and WBC Asia titles. The iconic bout will take place in Sydney on March 17th.
A win for either fighter will likely catapult them into a world title mandatory position. Both fighters are unbeaten, both are former Olympians, and both are blessed with supernatural hand and foot speed. Indigenous prodigy Paul Fleming was responsible for the "Fight of the Year" in Australia in 2022, and the man known as Showtime is peerless when it comes to non stop action.
To counter the claims of the Aussie, Charly Suarez has been on an ominous run of 10 wins in the last two years, all against quality opponents. Tellingly, he has barely broken a sweat in his rankings surge, and lost few, if any, rounds.
This is a HUGE FIGHT for both Australia and the Philippines, and a dominant performance by Suarez will certainly put the world on notice.

YAP IS BACK !
Mark John Yap makes his eagerly awaited ring return at UKC REVOLUTION 2023 against former Manny Pacquiao sparring partner Leonardo Doronio.
Yap has the reputation as one of the Philippines' best internationally performed boxers of recent years, thus earning him The Journey Man tag, and he will be looking to embark his 2023 trip with a great performance at home.
The former bantamweight star has only recently made the super featherweight division his new home, yet will challenge Doronio at Lightweight, such is the difficulty in getting the Mindanao product decent competition in a season opener.
Mark John Yap produced a classy performance against Charly Suarez for the WBA Asia title, and endorsed that effort with an impressive win over Papua New Guinea's best Junior Kauko Raka.
Yap then ventured to Vietnam to compete at Fortunes of War, and looked good in a fast paced short format exhibition event.

Philippines' greatest boxer Charly Suarez recently secured the IBF Asia belt, and by defeating Indonesia’s top rated Defry Palulu (WBC Asia champion) he was elevated to #8 in the world ranking by the International Boxing Federation.
Suarez has progressed through the professional ranks at breakneck speed, winning 14 in a row, and picking up WBA, IBF and RP National belts in the process. He is also now ranked at #4 in the latest OPBF rankings.
Suarez will look to defend his IBF title, and was originally mooted to meet Japan's top rated Super Featherweight Yoshimutsu Kimura.
Kimura was viewed as a solid offensive fighter with poor defense, and not a serious challenge for Suarez. This viewpoint proved accurate when Kimura was knocked out last week in a non title bout in Tokyo.
The focus has now moved to a fighter that VSP are a huge fan of - the unbeaten Australian champion Paul Fleming.
The proud indigenous prodigy dubbed "Showtime" has an amazing record of 28 and 0 with 18 knockouts, and brings an electric brand of high octane energy to the ring that fans just love.
Fleming also holds IBF, WBA, WBC and IBO regional belts, and like the King's Warrior, is gunning for a world title shot.
Sounds perfect !

Fortunes of War is organised by Việt Nam's top boxing units of VSP Promotions and Cocky Buffalo with support from Vietcontent, the leading sports content in Việt Nam. VNS
NEWS FROM WEBTHETHAO
Professional boxing events in Vietnam began to rekindle in the period of 2015, when management units such as Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF) or Ho Chi Minh City Boxing Federation. Ho Chi Minh City (HBF) organizes this form of competition, with the participation of famous boxers in the domestic amateur boxing village. After that, promotion companies began to appear with names like VSP Promotions, Cocky Buffalo, Saigon Sports Club, VBC, Trigger Boxing... continued to appear to bring more national elements. economic: events, title matches, friendlies.
However, it was not until 2018, when the promoters really embarked on a comprehensive approach, at this time, the challenge for the development of professional boxing began to really appear.
To be recognized at the professional level, competitions must be under the supervision of organizations capable of recognizing professional achievements around the world. This supervision is based on the rules - the rules of the game (regulations) are specified in the operating regulations of professional organizations such as WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF...
In Vietnam, the presence of these organizations is not much. Therefore, boxers have only one option: to conduct tours in countries with developed boxing backgrounds such as Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, ... to be recognized for their achievements. However, the issue of funding, training procedures - competing with Vietnamese boxers is not a simple problem, despite the participation of experienced promotion companies in the region.
As a result, promoters have opted for a more pragmatic approach: organizing events right in Vietnam. To do this, they need to contact to get the approval of professional organizations in the world, through sending professional teams, supervising the organization and competition of martial arts.
Since 2019, units like VSP Promotions have made their mark with a series of events such as Victory 8, VSP Pro,... bringing Vietnamese boxers to participate in professional matches at home, recognizing their achievements. in the international system, gradually removing barriers for boxers who want to pursue this path.

Not only for boxers, bringing international events to Vietnam also creates opportunities for domestic professionals, namely management units, referees, supervisors, etc. exposure to professional environment according to world standards. From there, events in Vietnam will gradually move to international level - something we all want in the development of all sports.

Charly Suarez has been nothing short of outstanding since turning pro. But if there has been any doubts regarding his ascent to a world title, it's been that he perhaps lacks the killer instinct or power required at the highest level.
But rumors abound that the King’s Warrior never had any intention of hurting his countrymen, and that he was just happy to get valuable rounds in before heading abroad. And the word is, no such luxury will be afforded to any foreign opponents that stand in his way of a world title.
Believe it, or don't !
But if this line of thinking is correct, then one thing is sure, Indonesia’s best best boxer Defry Palulu is in deep trouble !
Here is Charly Suarez facing Domenico Valentino, not long after the Italian won the world amateur Lightweight title. You be the judge.
Vietnam is a hotbed of boxing talent, and there are many picturesque locations in that special country to show case the best action matches to fight fans.
The Grand Ho Tram situated in the southern beach area of Vung Tau is simply iconic, and as the name suggests, they have some very GRAND plans.
This beautiful coastal resort plans to be "THE PLACE" for boxing in Asia - think of Vegas by the beach !
And yes again, they actually have an incredible Casino (and a Greg Norman designed golf course too !)
The Grand Ho Tram have already staged two events this year, and on December 10, are going all out with the biggest sports event in Vietnam this year.
The Fortunes of War event brings together many of Asia's best fighters for the very first time, and will host three title matches sanctioned by the IBF and WBO.
The event will also embrace the fun side of boxing, and will avail three novice Vietnam prospects the opportunity to share the ring with top foreign professionals. These exhibition bouts will be fast and furious and held over 4 rounds - if they go that long!
Congratulations
to our friends at The Grand Ho Tram for being such great supporters of boxing, and for hosting the most iconic sports event in Vietnam this year.
A perfect way to end 2022 !

THE GRAND HO TRAM JUST GOT HOTTER !!!
Saturday December 10 Fortunes of War !
WBC champion Defry Palulu was meant to fight a novice professional named Charly Suarez back in March 2020.
The fight was canceled due to the pandemic !
Indonesia’s best fighter and his team were supremely confident of victory, and rightfully so.
Palulu was on a hot winning streak with a 21-2 record, which compared very favourably with the King's Warrior's 3-0 relative inexperience !
Fast forward to The Grand Ho Tram Vietnam on Saturday December 10, and now the clash of two of Asia's very best 130lb fighters, who were always destined to meet - has been set !
Defry Palulu has now recaptured his pre-pandemic form with four successive wins since resuming.
Charly Suarez has stayed busy at home, picking up wins against quality locals, and grabbing WBA and Philippines national titles in the process.
Palulu feels that Suarez doesnt have the power to make an impact at top level. It's an opinion that has even been echoed by many in the Philippines. The Indonesian is also of the belief that previous opponents have allowed the pinoy star to impose his "amateur" style way too easily. He contends that many have simply followed Suarez around the ring, thus falling victim to his mesmerizing hand and foot speed.
The Indonesian southpaw champion says all of that nonsense will finish on December 10 in Vietnam !
It seems hard to imagine anybody in world boxing outpointing Philippines' Charly Suarez, but can he be stopped ?
"That is our plan ! Team Palulu have worked very hard for this, and we will not let this opportunity slip.
Suarez does not have the power to hurt me, or even hold me off. But I know when I catch him, he will go down.
Indonesia will have a new IBF champion on December 10."
Charly Suarez v Defry Palulu
12 rounds IBF Asia Super Featherweight 130lb
THE GRAND HO TRAM STRIP VIETNAM
Saturday December 10
Indonesia’s top fighter Defry Palulu is Vietnam bound, and intent on reclaiming his lofty place in the world rankings.
The accomplished southpaw was the WBC Asia champion back in 2019, and was looking to leverage that belt towards some bigger bouts.
He was actually slated to fight novice professional Charly Suarez back in March 2020, a match that he was confident of winning, and one where he undoubtedly would have started a betting favourite.
But the pandemic made a mess of best laid plans, and Palulu was stripped of his WBC belt due to his inability to defend that title. Boxing in Indonesia had completely shut down, and the champion was without a bout for almost 2 years !
Now the Unseen Hammer is back !
Defry Palulu has won 4 on the trot since resuming, taking his impressive tally to 25-2, and has run himself into a rich vein of form.
His most recent win against India #1 Asad Khan was equal parts flawed and impressive, yet it was enough to highlight that Palulu had recaptured his pre-pandemic form.
The Unseen Hammer has a deceptively effective style that has seen him incur only one solitary loss in 8 years - a disputed split decision at that !
He is a southpaw that changes direction and cuts the ring with ease, yet throws punches from unorthodox positions. He varies his power cleverly, and has great insticts when it comes to throwing the "money" shot. Palulu has the sort of thudding power with an often surprising delivery that has deservedly earned him that ring monicker of the "Unseen Hammer".
The Philippines' Charly Suarez has looked outstanding soaring unbeaten in 13 fights, but it is fair to say that Defry Palulu represents a significant test for his debut international bout. Suarez has certainly brought all his wonderful amateur attributes to the pro arena, yet there are many skeptics, and Palulu is one of those.
Despite his skills, many doubt that Charly Suarez has the power to worry the world top 10, and Palulu intends to exploit that deficit. He also believes that Suarez has been "followed" around the ring by previous frustrated opponents, and that he has the tools to cut the ring and corner the Philippines man.
Palulu is confident that the world title charge of Charly Suarez will end on December 10.
That claim remains to be seen, but what is certain, is that this December match in Vietnam will be an intriguing clash of styles and it's a rare treat to get to see two fighters of this calibre in the ring together !

BUT !!!
Will he look as stylish as Team Suarez?
Ahhhhh that's impossible to imagine!
Watch out Palulu, the Suarez army is coming !

THE GRAND HO TRAM STRIP VIETNAM
Saturday December 10th
FORMER Olympian and current World Boxing Association Asia super featherweight king Charly Suarez takes on Indonesian Defry Palulu on Dec. 10, 2022, at The Grand Ho Tram Strip in Vung Tau City, Vietnam.
The 34-year-old Suarez has already become one of the best Pinoy fighters despite only being a pro for just four years. The former amateur standout is dominating the local boxing scene by beating fighters like Marjohn Yap, Tomjune Mangubat, Delmar Pellio and recently Carlo Magali.
Suarez has had an impressive year thus far, winning all his in dominant fashion. He started the year with a 12th-round technical knockout of Mangubat, followed by a one-sided unanimous decision beating of Junny Salogaol. He then outclassed crafty veteran Yap by unanimous decision and also defeated tough Magali also by a unanimous verdict.
Suarez is now finally ranked in the World Boxing Council at No. 37 in the super featherweight class.
The 31-year-old Palulu, in the meantime, is on an impressive run, winning 10 of his last 11 fights. He hasn’t been beaten in six years. The last time he tasted defeat was when he lost by split decision to Jason Butar Butar.
Palulu has fought the likes of former world title challenger AJ “Bazooka” Banal and Isack Junior. He’s coming off a unanimous decision over Asad Asif Khan last June 12.
Suarez is 13-0 with seven knockouts, while Palulu is 25-2-2 with 14 knockouts.
Also in the same card, Arnel Baconaje (15-5, 11 KOs) challenges hometown bet Dinh Hong Kwan (9-1-1, 4 KOs) for the latter’s International Boxing Federation Asia lightweight belt.
The Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam has grand plans !
Saturday December 10
Full fight card coming soon, but already signed :
Vietnam - Dinh Hong Quan
Philippines - Arnel Baconaje
Indonesia - Defry Palulu
Philippines - Charly Suarez
Uzbekistan - Olimjon Nazarov
Vietnam - Nguyễn Văn Hải
Indonesia - Paisal Panjaitan
and will soon include top fighters from South Korea and Thailand.
This end of year festive event at The Grand Ho Tram wil also give young Vietnam hopefuls Phan Minh Quân, Le Hiep and Thai Hoang Huy the chance to share the ring with Philippines idols Mark John Yap, Jetro Pabustan and the Wolverine JonJon Estrada.
Indonesian champion Defry Palulu (25-2) takes on the Philippines' champion Charly Suarez (13-0) at The Grand Ho Tram Strip in Vietnam on Saturday December 10th.
This is ONE versus ONE where the thudding style of the Indonesian southpaw will be looking to disrupt the plans of the livewire Suarez.
This is already shaping as a phenomenal card, where the main event sees the Vietnam lightweight champ Dinh Hong Quan (9-1) will defend his IBF Asia title against top class pinoy Arnel Baconaje (15-5) in what is as close to a 50/50 match as you will ever likely see !
Charly Suarez and Carlo Magali go at it for WBA Asia and RP national title supremacy!
Suarez will return on December 10 in Vietnam to close out the year, taking on his first foreign challenger.
Indonesia’s best fighter and former WBC champion Defry Palulu has signed on to fight Charly Suarez in Vietnam next month.
Palulu was on a shortlist of a number of national champions to fight Suarez, but interestingly, was the only one to call the King's Warrior out.
The Indonesian champ bears the ring name "The Unseen Hammer", which bears testament to his deceptive southpaw style and thudding hands. Palulu was robbed of his WBC title when his country closed for the pandemic, and he was unable to defend his belt. He has since resumed with four straight wins, and boasts the excellent record of 25 and only 2 losses, the most recent being a contentious split decision many years ago.
The Unseen Hammer has also had success in the hurt department, having knocked out 15 of his opponents !
The match between Charly Suarez and Defry Palulu will take place at The Grand Ho Tram on December 10, and is Suarez's first foreign assignment in the pro ranks.
The Indonesian champion represents a mouth watering match up for his initial foray, as Palulu has been very dismissive of the amateur style and lack of firepower that he perceives from Suarez. He also recognizes the skills in the unbeaten pinoy, but believes that he will cut the ring on Suarez far better than previous opponents. Further, he has stated that Suarez does not punch hard enough to worry the top 10, and he will not only damage his world ambitions, he will do damage to the Philippines freak talent.
Contract signed, done deal, December 10 !
Congratulations to the Philippines fighters that will be competing at the Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam on Saturday December 10. Arnel Baconaje and Charly will contest IBF titles in two of the main event matches.
Baconaje will take on incumbent lightweight champion Dinh Hong Quan, a Vietnam fighter that has recent history with pinoys Delmar Pellio and Jules Victoriano. Charly Suarez is expected to have a confirmed opponent soon.
*story courtesy Daily Tribune
Utilizing his all-around skills, Rio Olympics veteran Charly Suarez kept his unbeaten record intact with a lopsided 12-round unanimous decision win over rugged Carlo Magali over the weekend in Sucat, Parañaque. Suarez was defending the World Boxing Association super-featherweight title and likewise vying for the Philippine crown and easily got the job done by earning scores of 119-109 (twice) and 118-110 on the judges’ scorecards.
The crowd at the Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Center rallied behind Magali but Suarez had no trouble keeping his foe at bay with shots fired from long range. The victory raised Suarez’s record to 13-0 with seven knockouts and the Magali conquest put him on line for a quick return to the ring on 10 December in Vietnam.
“We are fast-tracking his climb to the world ratings,” Suarez’s chief trainer and longtime national team pal Delfin Boholst. Charly’s ripe (for a title shot) because of his age and his wealth of experience (fighting in the amateur ranks),” Boholst added. Though already 34, Suarez has fought extensively and once faced Vasyl Lomachenko, now regarded as one of the world’s finest fighters.
"The Ferocious" Carlo Magali looking absolutely shredded at the BATTLEFIELD weigh in just moments ago.
National champion Magali takes on the unbeaten freak talent King's Warrior Charly Suarez in a bout which will decide both RP and WBA Asia titles.
Both fighters weighed in within the Super Featherweight limit at 129 pounds.
Action takes place tomorrow at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque.
The Philippines’ Charly Suarez will headline a huge card in Manila this Sunday, when he defends his regional WBA belt agsinst national champion Carlo Magali.
Suarez is without peer in Philippines boxing right now, and arguably sits with Naoya Inoue as the most technically gifted fighter in all of Asia,
The Davao native sits unbeaten at 12 and 0, and such has been his dominance against quality local opposition, he has scored 7 knockouts so far in his pro career.
Carlo Magali will be another solid test for Suarez. A winner of 25 fights, Magali has a very awkward and resilient style that has upset more heavily favoured opponents. Blessed with a great chin and thudding power, the man that has earned the ring name “The Ferocious” is regarded as a killer in his homeland, and in the literal sense.
National champion Magali had an historic battle with Australia’s top 130 Davey Browne a few years back, and such was the bludgeoning that Magali delivered, the unbeaten Aussie lost his life as a result of his injuries.
Carlo Magali comes into Sunday’s match in career best condition, as reported by his camp, so it will be interesting to see if he can subdue the freakish Suarez in any way.
Charly Suarez will be looking to put on another electric display in Sunday’s WBA title defense, and is eyeing off bigger bouts in future. News just broken is that he will head to HO Tram Vietnam on December 10 and look to win the IBF belt, against a soon to be named opponent. The unbeaten boxer will be focussed on world top 10 fights in 2023, and with wins over world champs Oscar Valdez and Joe Cordina in the amateurs, he has every reason to have claims to the throne now that Shakur Stevenson has departed.
“I will fight anyone, anywhere !” beamed the ever smiling Suarez.

Philippines star boxer was celebrated by none other than President BongBong Marcos today at an awards ceremony in Manila.
Also acknowledged for their outstanding achievements were world champion boxers Melvin Jerusalem and Marlon Tapales.
Charly Suarez recently ventured to Australia to take on a man who VSP regarded as that country's best 130lb fighter - Paul "Showtime" Fleming.
The match was as exciting and dramatic as expected, with Suarez clinching victory courtesy of a last round knockout.
But despite the quality of that encounter, there are those in Australia less than convinced.
The feedback was that perhaps Fleming was "faded", that maybe Suarez got lucky, with even some there referring to the Philippines' best as a "cab driver !"
The overwhelming sentiment is that these two great fighters would be no match for a younger and more powerful Liam Wilson.
Queensland star Liam Wilson was responsible for the knockout of former top Philippines 130lb Joe Noynay, and despite a loss, consolidated his fearsome reputation with a cracking display against Emanuel Navarrete just recently.
In an ominous show of power, Wilson rag dolled Navarrete and became the first man in the world to drop the staunch WBO champ.
Impressive stuff, and for Wilson, there are surely big wins ahead.
But Charly Suarez is far and away the best boxer in the Philippines right now, so for Wilson, he represents another significant but exciting challenge.
So how about it NO LIMIT,
let's fight our two roosters and let's see who comes out victorious !!!!
This is a huge fight for Australia, and for sure, for betting shops, as everyone in the Philippines will be putting their cash on the "cab driver" from Davao !

Philippines Romeo Tenorio Jr looked primed and ready at today's weigh in Vietnam for THE RISING STARS show.
"Yong" from the Elorde Davao stable has always shown ability, and his first outing after the pandemic, his win over Julius Bala was a promising return.
Gun Kim is a promising and rangy South Korean, who is 2-1 but perhaps unlucky not to be unbeaten. His loss to Jae Young Kim was by split decision, yet most good judges agree that he should have been awarded the victory.
The match is the first international foray for Romeo Tenorio, and is a great opportunity for the Philippines fighter to secure his 9th win.

VSP strong man Nguyễn Văn Hải "the Hanoi Hitman" takes on China's rising star Xiao Tao "the Sadist" Su next Saturday at Ho Tram Vietnam.
Despite the greater experience of his Chinese rival (11-2), Nguyễn Văn Hải was upbeat :
"Every opportunity to fight is a blessing for me. I like to show my skills, and now that I am learning the differences of professional boxing, I also like to show my power.
I have had many fights in different sports, also in amateur boxing. I know to respect all opponents, because they have trained hard to win also. But I also know how to be ruthless, and the China fighter will find out next Saturday what it feels like to face a Vietnam fighter. I wish him good luck! "
Romeo Tenorio heads to Vung Tau to take on South Korean sharp shooter Gun Kim.
It's sure to be love at first sight !

Nguyễn Văn Hải is revered as perhaps the most experienced multi discipline fighter in Vietnam - but he also lays claims to being pound for pound the strongest !
A man with a passion for physical fitness, Nguyễn Văn Hải went for close to three years without a boxing match, all the time training young pupils in Hanoi in various fight techniques. But a return to the ring last year in Manila against Jerald Into rekindled his love for the sport, and he has since scored two impressive pro wins.
VSP Boxing star Hải will be fighting the main undercard bout in Ho Tram Vietnam next weekend, and will be joined by young Philippines prospect Romeo "Yong" Tenorio, who gets his first taste of competition on foreign soil.
Nguyễn Văn Hải (4-1) takes on resuming top Chinese prospect Xiao Tao Su (11-2) over 8 rounds in what should be a thriller.
Asked his feelings on the bout, Hải was very enthusiastic:
" I am very excited to be able to do what I love once more. Each match for me is a gift.
I respect all opponents, but I plan to give him a welcome to Vietnam that the fans will love !
I know I will hurt him and plan to finish him "

Paul Fleming is arguably the most talented fighter that Australia has ever produced, and he carried an unbeaten record of 28-0 to the ring when he recently took on Charly Suarez in Sydney.
The Aussie champ put four titles on the line, and a world title eliminator was also up for grabs.
In what was a cracking contest, Fleming brought all his trademark energy and flair. The man known as "Showtime" is renowned for making great fights, his previous effort having been voted Australia's best of the year in 2022.
Suarez waits for notification from the Fleming team as to whether they wish to option a rematch clause in their contract.
The Hanoi Hitman Nguyễn Văn Hải is back April 22nd at Vung Tau !!
Philippines Romeo Tenorio will also appear on this card at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino.
This is a clip from last year in Manila, where Hai took on hot unbeaten Lightweight prospect Jerald Into.
It was the Vietnam boxer's first time to see a boxing ring in more than 2 years, but it turned out to be a quality bout.
Hai has won both follow up engagements since this match, and is now 4-1 in the pro ranks.
Davao boxer Romeo "Yong" Tenorio is set to make a surprise ring return on April 22nd in Vietnam against a South Korean opponent.
Tenorio has been called in at late notice to battle Gun Kim, a young boxer with a 2 win and 1 loss record. The promising Korean had his original combatant succumb to injury, and Romeo has answered the call.
Yong was starting to put it together in the pro ranks, winning 4 of his last 5 bouts prior to a three year break courtesy of the pandemic. But he resumed in promising fashion in October 2022, beating Julius Bala by unanimous decision, and will be looking to impress in his foreign debut later this month.
Romeo Tenorio will fight Gun Kim at the Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on Saturday April 22nd.
Vietnam's Nguyễn Văn Hải and the Philippines Romeo Tenorio take on international opponents at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on April 22nd.
DUONG TO BATTLE PHILIPPINES CHAMP ?
Vietnam's premier fighter Nguyễn Văn Duong hasn't seen much ring time since the Olympics, and will make a return for the SEA Games in early May. But his lack of recent competition has many wondering if the Bac Ninh boxer still has what it takes to fight at the highest level.
Philippines champion Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam in May for a training camp, and former 3X OPBF titleholder is open to working with the local talent while he is here.
A winner of 32 professional fights, Yap tore the heart out of Japan's feared Bantamweight division, going unbeaten in 10 fights over a 3 year period. His most recent fight was in January of this year, where he jumped two weight classes and knocked out former Manny Pacquiao sparring mate Leonardo Doronio.
Asked whether he would be open to an exhibition bout whilst he is in Vietnam, potentially against a killer like Nguyễn Văn Duong, the Philippines star smiled and said :
" Sure, why not, it sounds like a lot of fun ! Let's make it happen !! "
Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.
Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.
The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.
Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic, so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.
The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.
Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.
Ben Ligas put on a masterful boxing display in Pangasinan yesterday to keep the RP National Flyweight title in his grasp.
"The Sniper" took on the outstanding Genisis Libranza, a winner of 20 of 21 bouts, and he didn't disappoint.
Libranza threw hard questions at Ben Ligas from the opening bell, but a cool head and excellent shot selection by the incumbent champ was enough to secure a unanimous decision in the eyes of the judges.
Ligas is pictured post fight with top bantamweight and coach Jetro Pabustan.
HERE ARE THE WINNERS
Happy Fiesta guys - and a great way to start hosting some of the Philippines best young fighters and letting them showcase their talents today.

Ligas is current national Flyweight champ with a 14-3 record, and takes on Libranza who has the amazing stats of 20-1.
Nobody is ducking anybody here !
Great main event for Pangasinan.
What a fight !!
A lot of people are really looking forward to this main undercard match between unbeaten hotshot Jonniel Laurente and the vastly experienced Pablito Canada.
VSP have a huge opinion of Canada, who has always stepped up at late notice and performed great against the very best fighters in the Philippines. Pablito Canada endorsed our opinion when he traveled to the General Santos City base of unbeaten star Michael Casama, and handed him his first loss by way of stunning KO.
There is no doubt that JL Laurente has a lot of potential, but the question remains, has he taken on too much top early by stepping in with the way more experienced Pablito Canada ??
Expect this to be one of the best fights all day !!
Catch all the action from last weekend's VSP PRO, and the best of the Philippines and Vietnam Boxing talent at VSP PROMOTIONS YouTube
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

SUAREZ CAPTURES FOUR BELTS

Suarez v Fleming coming soon!
*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.
SUAREZ FLEMING Media Day
Shirts off, smiles all around as the Philippines Charly Suarez and Aussie Paul Fleming meet for the first time today in Sydney.

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.

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.
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 !!!
