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 !

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!

Bit of nostalgia here, but this FORTUNES OF WAR was an extremely fun event (despite the many dramas) and well worth revisiting. And you will see that there are lot's of familiar names on this historic fight card.

The Vietnam 🇻🇳 team was spearheaded by Dinh Hong Quân, a guy that had been on a winning run and was defending an IBF Title, but he was having lots of trouble with his weight in the lead up. He even collapsed at one stage and had to be resuscitated at one point !
We had top young prospects Lê Hoàng Hiep and Phan Minh Quân, who fought out of their skins against international pro boxers with more than 70 wins between them ! 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is obviously a legend on the local scene but had been inactive, so he was a bit of a "query" inclusion - yet he produced a memorable performance that culminated in two dramatic knockdowns.
But even more amazing was the debut of another Vietnam kid Thai Hoang Huy - this guy had never even boxed (he was a muay thai student that loved the idea of being a boxer !) And he went in with an opponent that had 14 knockouts in 15 wins - BIG BALLS !!
Suffice to say, the Vietnam 🇻🇳 team had a great experience and a lot of fun at this show - it was held at the beautiful Grand Ho Tram Resort in the coastal area of Vung Tau.

The visiting international team?
Well - some crazy talent on that side of the fence !

Philippines 🇵🇭 - Charly Suarez, Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, Jetro Pabustan and Jon Jon Estrada. 
These guys share plaudits as multiple national and regional title holders, with the unbeaten Suarez currently on the precipice of a world title.

Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Paisal Panjaitan - a really top unbeaten prospect who is now #2 in his country.
Defry Palulu - an Indonesia #2 and WBC belt holder.

South Korea 🇰🇷 - Chan Ho Song - an unbeaten 12-0 guy with blazing hands and a World Youth champ.

Thailand 🇹🇭 - Anuson Thonglueang - a top youth prospect with only one loss in 14 bouts, and who currently sits at #2 rated Welterweight in Thailand. 

Thanks for making this FORTUNES OF WAR a very memorable event boys, you put on a thrilling and entertaining show for everyone that was lucky enough to be there to see it.
VSP wish you continued luck and enjoyment in your boxing adventures ahead.

PS. the main event between Dinh Hong Quân 🇭🇰 and Arnel Baconaje 🇵🇭 was watched by more than 2 million people online !

SUAREZ SOON TO BE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

SUAREZ SOON TO BE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

Philippines best boxer Charly Suarez and his coach Delfin Boholst were welcome guests of the Games and Amusements Board office this week :

"Rising global contender and undefeated boxer Charly Suarez poses with Commissioner Angel P. Bautista at the GAB Central Office.

Charly Suarez rose to the top of the charts after securing a technical knockout victory against American Jorge Castaneda in the third round.

Suarez is undergoing intensive training as he prepares for an imminent bout with reigning champion Emmanuel Navarrete for the WBO Super Featherweight World Title."
"I'LL SMACK CHARLY SUAREZ ANY DAY !"
September 22, 2024

"I'LL SMACK CHARLY SUAREZ ANY DAY !"

World #2 Andres Cortes was not impressed with what he saw yesterday from the Philippines' champion Charly Suarez. 
But his words of belittlement are surely a bit rich from a guy who vanished from the title eliminator match up without any explanation !!

Andres Cortes sparked controversy on social media by dismissing claims that he's afraid of Charly Suarez, his original opponent for Saturday's IBF title fight in Glendale, Arizona.

Cortes took to the comments section, boasting that he would easily defeat Suarez, even comparing him to the legendary Manny Pacquiao. "You tweaking, I'll smack him (Suarez) any day of the week, (him) and Manny Pac Man. They both old, no difference."

He also targeted Suarez's physical attributes, calling him "a 5'5", 37-year-old" (Suarez is listed at 5'6" and 36 years old on BoxRec). 
"He's the easiest paycheck. I've seen him in the gym, and he's a very small old man, just being honest. I"ll send him back to his 9-5 !" claimed the cocky Las Vegas native. 

However, Cortes' words are likely to haunt him as Jorge Castaneda, his replacement, suffered a third-round savage knockout at the hands of Suarez.

The victory solidified Suarez's reputation as a potential boss in the super featherweight division, while Cortes' comments have drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike.

Many have questioned Cortes' decision to withdraw from the fight, citing concerns over his credibility and courage. Many proud filipinos had plenty to say regarding the fugitive's snide remarks.

"Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder," said one. "Cortes' comments reek of desperation and insecurity."

 "When you start mocking someone's age and physical attributes, it's a sign of weakness. 
Suarez proved himself in the ring, while Cortes hid behind words." said another.

Cortes' future in the sport remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – his words have fueled a heated debate in the boxing community. 
If he has a valid injury then we wish him a hasty recovery, but it has also been suggested that the evasive Cortes was baking cookies with his mother at the time that Suarez was knocking Castaneda into another galaxy.

The Philippines 🇵🇭 Charly Suarez heads to Glendale Arizona this Saturday where he takes on talented American fighters Jorge Castaneda. 
Suarez will fight for the IBF International belt on a card headlined by outstanding Mexican Jaime Munguia. 
Castaneda is a superb change of opponent for Suarez, and he replaces world #2 Andres Cortes in a bout originally billed as a world title eliminator and main undercard bout.
Mystery surrounds the withdrawal of Andres Cortes, but in reality, he was going to cop an ass whooping from Charly anyway, so Top Rank did the right thing by grounding him.
Bravo to Jorge Castaneda for stepping up.
A great fight coming this Saturday !!
SUAREZ FORCES TOP RANK STARS INTO HIDING

SUAREZ FORCES TOP RANK STARS INTO HIDING

Henry Lebron and Andres Cortes obviously think so !!
This is the second time in his last three fights that Charly Suarez has turned Top Rank lions into pussy cats that don't wanna fight no more !
We understand the business Top Rank, but hey, if these pinup boys are ducking a 36 year old Charly Suarez - then surely they were never genuine world champion material in the first place ?
So let's send those boys to the back of the queue, and let's see what the new boy Jorge Castaneda can muster. 
Castaneda is a tall orthodox fighter, with a nice jab and decent power. He's beaten some world class guys in amassing a 17-3 record, so he should at least be a good measuring stick for the Philippines star's world title claims. 

But in future, please Mr. Arum - no more kitty kats ! Where's that kid Navarrete at ? 
He loves a challenge, right ??

SUAREZ SENDS ANOTHER CHAMP PACKING !!

Charly Suarez confirmed his status of one of boxing's most avoided, two weeks out from a World Title elimination showdown with Top Rank star Andres Cortes.
World #2 Andres Cortes has sensationally pulled out of his fight with the Philippines phenomenon,  and the circumstances have an eery similarity to a previous canceled bout with the unbeaten Henry Lebron. 
The word is Charly Suarez has been lighting up sparring partners at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gyn in Los Angeles  - and there were many "interested" observers.
News travels fast - and Andres Cortes has now bitten the dust. 
Suarez was expected to be the 36 year old B side in Top Rank's game of Snakes and Ladders,  but it appears the team of young lion Cortes have screamed a collective MEOW !

So another big name whimpers out, and Charly Suarez will now fight for the WBO International Title against American Jorge Castaneda 17-3.

CORTES A TOP RANK POSTER BOY ?
August 27, 2024

CORTES A TOP RANK POSTER BOY ?

World #2 Andres Cortes (22-0, 12 knockouts) will face the Philippines’ Charly Suarez (17-0, 9 KOs) in a ten-round junior lightweight clash in Glendale Arizona on September 20th. 
The bout will serve not only as the evening’s co-feature on a card headlined by recent Canelo victim Jaime Munguia, but is also pitched as a world title eliminator.
 
Both fighters are signed to Top Rank, with Suarez sitting on the tail of a three fight deal. 
The King's Warrior is now 36 years old, and is definitely viewed as not being as marketable as Andres "Savage" Cortes. 
And he certainly has not as heavily invested in as the Las Vegas native. 
So should Philippines 🇵🇭 fans be worried ?

Anyone that has watched Charly Suarez can quickly see he is the most technically brilliant boxer that the Philippines has ever produced. 
And he is without flaw. 
No matter how good Andres Cortes (or any other for that matter) - Suarez possesses a fight template that is just so impossible to beat.
But as the "unloved stepson" in an already crowded Top Rank family, will the Philippines star likely get a fair shake in his upcoming bout in the States ?

Andres Cortes, who beat Teofimo Lopez twice in the amateurs was always viewed as a future goldmine before turning pro. 
He has really impressive power and timing to go with his obvious skills, and possesses that killer instinct that fans go crazy for. 

Upon signing with Top Rank, it was quoted :

"Andres Cortes is a tremendous action fighter and fits right in with all of the contenders at 130 pounds,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. 
“He’s earned a promotional contract and the right to fight on major cards. I truly believe he can be the next homegrown world champion from Las Vegas.”
Cortes said, “This is an incredible opportunity, and I’m thankful to Bob Arum and everyone at Top Rank. Every time I fight, it’s the ‘Savage Show.’ I strive to entertain the fans and give them action-packed fights. With this contract, the sky’s the limit. My goal is to fight in main events and eventually bring a world title home to Las Vegas.”

Cortes is coming off his most notable win to date, though perhaps almost his most disputed as well. The unbeaten North Las Vegas native edged Abraham Nova (23-2, 16 KOs) in a June 24 disputed points win in Las Vegas. With the win came the expectation of a title shot soon to follow.

That dream remains in place, though Cortes wisely chose activity while building towards that moment.

“Ever since the Nova fight, I’ve been working on my craft in the gym,” insisted Cortes, who fights for the third time this year. “I’m showing the world my full arsenal on September 20. I want a world title shot soon, and I need to earn it with a devastating performance over Suarez.”

There is no doubt that the September 22nd bout between Andres Cortes and Charly Suarez delivers the clash between two of the world's best 130lb fighters - so let's hope the result is clear and without controversy. 

Charly Suarez for the win - and Philippines next world champion !

Suarez has a pending fight in the States in September, but at this stage, no opponents are stepping up. The King's Warrior has been a heavily avoided fighter in his short pro career, and hopefully we see this future world champ suitably matched in this coming bout.

Today he was Stateside, winning his return bout in Corpus Christi Texas on a Top Rank event. Suarez broke his hand in August of last year, but resumed in style today in a near shutout win over America's Luis Coria. 
It was an emphatic performance, and likely to earn Suarez a world title eliminator shot at his next outing.

The Philippines' Charly Suarez always looks great in sparring, but apparently a session where the King's Warrior was "on fire" was witnessed by the coach of Henry Lebron - and was enough for them to immediately pull out of their world title eliminator next Saturday night.
Lebron has now been consigned to the "Top Rank Scaredy Cat" bench warmers list, and will be replaced by Luis Coria 15-6 in what is Suarez return from a broken hand last August. 
A win for Suarez will guarantee him a world title eliminator at his next outing - and you can bet your bottom dollar it won't be Henry Lebron in the other corner !
Charly Suarez fights on a Top Rank show in Corpus Christi Texas next Saturday night April 13th.
SUAREZ BACK BETTER THAN EVER

SUAREZ BACK BETTER THAN EVER

The Philippines' best boxer Charly Suarez resumes next Saturday on a big Top Rank show in Corpus Christi Texas - 8 long months after sustaining a broken hand in August of last year. 
Despite looking comfortable in a lopsided decision win, Suarez actually did the damage in round one against tough Yohan Vasquez, and was forced to fight the remainder of their bout in southpaw. 
An incredible effort !
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez last fought in Vietnam in December 2022 (hence the Christmas tree !) and followed up his win at Ho Tram with a 4 title win in Australia over unbeaten star Paul Fleming. 
Suarez has been promised a world title eliminator bout if successful in next week's American bout, and all his friends at VSP wish him a career defining performance on that big stage.
Good luck Charly boy !

SUAREZ IN HAND CAST FOR 6 WEEKS

The King's Warrior will have his broken right hand in a protective cast for the next 6 weeks, but the good news is, he is expected to make a full recovery.

Suarez staged an amazing effort to stay composed after injuring the hand early in round one, and being put under constant pressure by excellent Dominican Yohan Vasquez.

It was a bitter sweet US debut for the Philippines best boxer, who will be hoping for a ring return later this year.

SUAREZ WINS ON USA DEBUT

Charly Suarez turned away a scrappy challenge from Yohan Vasquez to enjoy a successful U.S. debut. after a ten-round, unanimous decision victory over Dominican Republic’s Vazquez. Scores were 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93 for Suarez in the opening bout of the evening.

Action from bell to bell was entertaining and competitive, to the point where Vasquez (25-4, 20KOs) was disappointed when he heard the lopsided scores. Suarez landed the crisper combinations and cleaner punches but was forced to fend off Vasquez who effectively cut off the ring in the middleweights.

Suarez—a 35-year-old from General Santos City, Philippines—regained control late in the fight to advance to 16-0 (9KOs). The bout was his third straight on the road, having previously posted wins in Vietnam last December and a come-from-behind 12th round stoppage of unbeaten Paul Fleming on March 15 in Sydney, Australia.

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez has just completed his preparations in Las Vegas for this Sunday’s fight, and reports he is in killer shape and more than ready to fight.

Suarez will battle Dominican Yohan Vasquez 25-2, a hard hitter with 22 knockouts on his resume.

The Davao son was able to get some fast paced rounds in with both sons of fabled Ferocious Fernando Vargas, and also share the ring with Chris Eubank jr (pictured). Prior to that, the champ worked with Philippines national team members back home in Baguio.

Despite the calibre of his opponent, and the question marks surrounding his first bout in the US, Suarez will enter the ring a heavy favourite to put opponent Vasquez to the sword.

Suarez v Vasquez will take place at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa Oklahoma this Sunday.

CEBU CITY, Philippines– Charly Suarez, the unbeaten and world-rated super featherweight contender nicknamed “King’s Warrior” will debut in the United States on August 26, 2023.

The 34-year-old Olympian turned professional boxer will face Dominican Republic’s Yohan Vasquez in a non-title bout at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This will be Suarez’s first fight in five months. His most recent bout was nothing short of impressive as he wrested three regional titles and earned a world title bout.

Last March 15, he went to Sydney Australia to challenge the erstwhile International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental, International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental, and World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia super featherweight king Paul Fleming.

The Filipino scored a technical knockout in the 12th round against Fleming for a resounding upset.

The victory catapulted Suarez to No. 7 in the IBF super featherweight division, No. 10 in the World Boxing Organization (WBO), and No. 15 in the WBC.

He remains unbeaten with 15 wins and nine knockouts. Besides the three regional titles, Suarez is also the IBF Asia super featherweight king.

Meanwhile, Vasquez, 29, has a more experienced record. The former Dominican Republic lightweight champion holds a record of 25 wins, 20 knockouts, and three defeats.

THIS IS THE FIGHT THAT "MUST" HAPPEN !!!

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 !

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.

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.

SUAREZ VOWS TO GO ALL OUT ON FLEMING

*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.

FLEMING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME

FLEMING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME

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.”

LEMING BRINGS IN THE STARS FOR SUAREZ

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.

CHARLY SUAREZ  - RINGSIDE VIEW OF DEBUT
February 18, 2023

CHARLY SUAREZ - RINGSIDE VIEW OF DEBUT

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.

THE BIG FIGHTS ARE COMING YOUR WAY

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 !

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.

DID HE FORGET ABOUT CHARLY SUAREZ  ???
February 7, 2023

DID HE FORGET ABOUT CHARLY SUAREZ ???

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."

LIAM WILSON CALLS OUT PAUL FLEMING
February 6, 2023

LIAM WILSON CALLS OUT PAUL FLEMING

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.

PUT THESE TWO ON YOUR "WATCH" LIST

PUT THESE TWO ON YOUR "WATCH" LIST

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.\

QUIBORS BOYS CHASING BLUE SKIES

QUIBORS BOYS CHASING BLUE SKIES

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 !!

TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN HOLDING ALL THE ACES

TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN HOLDING ALL THE ACES

When you have got height, reach, youth and good looks - what else do you really need ??

17 year old Binh Duong Boxing Team prospect Truong Hai Bien returns to VSP PRO, only two months since he debuted against Nguyễn Khắc Dũng. Bien dropped a points decision to his Hanoi opponent, but it was very obvious he has a mile of improvement, and his team were keen to get him back into the ring as soon as possible.

Bien at 173cm has nice height for the super lightweight class, and if he can learn to create angles a little more, will be able to have more success fighting on the outside than he did at his debut. But despite his inexperience, he certainly has the makings of a good boxer.

Nguyễn Khắc Dũng brought lots of pressure in the August bout, and next Saturday night, Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long brings pressure in spades !

But for sure, height, reach, youth and good looks will all combine on the night and we will see a vastly improved Truong Hai Bien at VSP Gym next Saturday.

This event is made possible by the sanctioning of the Vietnam Boxing Organization, who are the regulator of professional boxing in Vietnam.

IT'S A "LONG" WAY TO THE TOP - VSP PRO 9

IT'S A "LONG" WAY TO THE TOP - VSP PRO 9

(If you wanna Rock'n Roll)

One of Ho Chi Minh City's most popular boxers returns to next Saturday night for the 9th installment of the very popular VSP PRO.

Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long has perhaps been one of Saigon's unluckiest boxers with injuries, and he resumed from a very long break at VSP PRO last July.

In what was meant to be a "soft" return to the sport he loves, Long was unfortunate to lose his debutant opponent at the very last moment.

Not one to avoid a challenge, Long accepted the monumental task of being matched with in form national team star Nguyễn Hà Minh.

Long showed lots of great signs in his comeback fight, before being caught by his top class opponent late in the bout.

Next Saturday night, Long meets Binh Duong youngster TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN in what should be a cracking bout. Long definitely possesses the experience edge over his taller and rangier rival, and it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep this young gun on a tight leash.

One thing for sure, Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long is a real crowd pleaser and he will definitely be throwing bombs however long the battle lasts.

This event is made possible by the sanctioning of the Vietnam Boxing Organization, who are the regulator of professional boxing in Vietnam.

THE "KILLER" KHAI TO UNLEASH ON OCT 28
October 20, 2023

THE "KILLER" KHAI TO UNLEASH ON OCT 28

Lương Nguyễn Công Khải is one of the best known names in Vietnam boxing, yet the Quảng Ngãi fighter vanished from the sporting landscape for close to 3 years !

Khải was highly regarded on the local scene, even winning a HCMC title, but years of training took a toll on his body. He decided enough was enough, and ended up having surgery to deal with his chronic shoulder pain, and also his restricted power and movement. But whilst the surgery was deemed a success, there was an extensive period of rehabilitation to endure.

These were long hours of constant stretching and strengthening, and finally Khải knew it was time to put his shoulder to the test. He entered the ring for the first time in three years back in August - a VSP PRO match against former youth champ Truong Ngo Gia Huy  - definitely no easy task for your first time back in the ring !

The match was excellent, and despite some ring rust and being slightly short of fitness, the Killer showed many qualities of his former self. At the end, the judges could not seperate the two fighters, and declared it a draw, but it was very obvious that Khai would soon be a force to be reckoned with.

And as if it was scripted, the KILLER returns next Saturday night for VSP PRO 9. He is matched up against DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO - a southpaw from Max Fight club in HCMC who will be making his professional debut. The reports are extremely good on this boy, and his team are confident they can keep Khải out of the winner's list for a little while longer.

But based on what we saw in August, and knowing  the level that Lương Nguyễn Công Khải was at before he was injured, this may be a big task for Bao.

EXPECT TO SEE A KILLER UNLEASHED NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT !

LÂM TRÍ SIÊU LEAN AND MEAN FOR VSP PRO 9
October 17, 2023

LÂM TRÍ SIÊU LEAN AND MEAN FOR VSP PRO 9

Matrix Boxing prospect Lâm Trí Siêu has always had skills, but his love for beer and buffet has always challenged his love for boxing !

Siêu made a nice debut in June, scoring a points win over a very combative Nguyễn Dat Viet.

But it was a very "cuddly" fighter that presented at that show, weighing in at a touch under 80kg.

In spite of the impressive performance, it was suggested that the HCMC boxer would be better suited in a lighter weight class, and soon we get to see if the opinion is on the money.

Lâm Trí Siêu returns for VSP PRO 9 next Saturday October 28th, and it will be a leaner 76kg that will appear in the ring. Siêu takes on promising debutant PHAM HỮU TÀI in what will likely be one of the best fights on the card.

If you have never been to the fights, do not miss this show next Saturday at VSP Gym in HCMC. Admission is free, but please arrive early as seating is sometimes limited.

It was a really nice foreign debut for Phan Minh Quân in Korea last Sunday.

Great quality fight, and Phan Minh Quân will COME BACK STRONGER !

ONE YEAR IS A LONG TIME IN BOXING

This time last year Muay Thai fighter Thai Hoang Huy was looking to make his boxing debut.

And what a debut  !  

The fighter dubbed "Naksu" (which means WARRIOR in Muay Thai) fought an exhibition with Philippines famed KILLER  JonJon Estrada - a boxer with 16 wins and ouch !   -  14 Knockouts.

That exhibition bout inspired Thai Hoang Huy to turn professional  - and the Ho Chi Minh City boxer now owns the impressive record of 4 wins and one split decision loss in his five bouts to date.

Certainly not one to walk away from a challenge, Naksu now has some huge news breaking !

Thai Hoang Huy will represent Vietnam at an international event at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on November 18th on a top class card assembled by Cocky Buffalo Promotions.

Huy will take on Botswana hotshot Moabi Ngaka, in what will be a prelude for the African boxer's title fight in late December.

Ngaka was a superb amateur that has transitioned impressively to the pro format, and is now regarded as his country’s best fighter.

And Ngaka will take his own place in history, as this will be the first time we get to see an African boxer perform in Vietnam.

Thai Hoang Huy has been one of the consistent improvers at VSP PRO this year, and we wish him lots of luck in this monumental yet exciting challenge that lay ahead.

WE SAVED THE BEST TO LAST !

This was the main event, and it was a cracking contest between two very promising featherweights.

Without doubt -  the best fight of the night !

ĐỖ VĂN THIỆN NGÂN and ĐOÀN HOÀI NHỚ went non-stop, sharing plenty of great moments in a fight that rightfully could have gone either way.

The judges nod was a split decision win to the Ca Mau boxing team fighter ĐOÀN HOÀI NHỚ.

Very excited to see both of these top prospects in future bouts !

PHAM VĂN THÀNH PUTS ON CLASSY DISPLAY

It was a super impressive debut by southpaw Pham Van Thành to win the main undercard bout.

The super bantamweight contest was high level, and opponent Truong Ngo Gia Huy showed nice skills and movement throughout.

But it was the more consistent touches and ring control that won the judges, and the Binh Duong boxer Pham Van Tan scored the first of what is surely many wins to come.

FAST AND THE FURIOUS ON DEBUT
September 30, 2023

FAST AND THE FURIOUS ON DEBUT

Excellent bout between two fighters making their debut - Team Manny boxer LÊ NGỌC MINH KHÔI and Khang Anh Martial Arts Club PHẠM LÊ GIA HUY.This was an excellent bout where both boxers adhered to basics, maintaining a decent punch volume throughout.Huy was the much taller boxer, and used his range well to outpoint his opponent, who often tried to broach distance with a high guard but lacking the fast head movement and jab. The Khang Anh boxer impressed the judges, and lots more wins seem assured.LÊ NGỌC MINH KHÔI was an excellent debut, but certainly had issues with the height and range of his opponent. He looks like a drop to 48-50kg class will suit him far better, and expect to see him winning with more experience under his belt.

THÁI HOÀNG HUY TURNS THE TABLES
September 30, 2023

THÁI HOÀNG HUY TURNS THE TABLES

Improving novice Thai Hoàng Huy went on the attack in round two, after trailing 10-8 in the early scorecards.

Huy was unfortunate in round one, after appearing to slip just prior to receiving a glancing blow, and was deducted two points for the knockdown.

But the former muay thai fighter quickly made up for it, landing a peach of an uppercut on Tran Ngọc Phuong Hieu to end the battle in stunning fashion.

Despite his inexperience as a boxer, Thai Hoang Huy has improved markedly since he debuted, and moves to 4-1 as a professional.

18 year old Quảng Ngãi prospect Duyên returns for VSP PRO 8 for a featherweight 57kg bout against Can Tho team's TRẦN THI KIM CHI.

Duyen is a former youth and club champion gold medal winner, and debuted in March at VSP PRO with a classy victory over Hoang Thuy Linh. She looked very restrained in that performance, and expect to see something special from Duyên this coming Saturday.

She is certainly one of the future stars for women's boxing in Vietnam.

ELORDE DUO SCORE WINS AT BLOW BY BLOW
September 24, 2023

ELORDE DUO SCORE WINS AT BLOW BY BLOW

Ali Cañega and Joseph Ambo scored wins in the two main bouts at Manny Pacquiao’s show in Mandaluyong last night.

Cañega took a well deserved majority decision over quality prospect Jhun Rick Carcedo, who made it an enthralling 10 rounds for the fans. The win earnt Cañega the PBF super lightweight belt, but a title that may have been void with a different result. Carcedo weighed in 5lb over the limit, and a good 6lb heavier than Ali Cañega, who always looks very long and lean.

Joseph Ambo got the victory against outstanding southpaw Gary Tamayo, but it presented in unfortunate circumstances.

The bout seemed to be trending in Tamayo's favour, but he struggled for breath at stages of the contest, and was forced to retire in the 4th round. "The Hawk" was taken to hospital shortly afterwards, and our thoughts are behind him in making a swift and full recovery.

Congratulations to all the fighters who put on a great show yesterday at BLOW BY BLOW.

VICTORY8 TO WELCOME BOTSWANA NOV 11
September 22, 2023

VICTORY8 TO WELCOME BOTSWANA NOV 11

Vietnam will be the focal point of the best in boxing this November when VICTORY8 makes it's long awaited return.

The event which promises to deliver the ultimate in culture and sports to Hanoi, will take place outdoors at the historic Hoan Kiem Lake in the Old Quarter of the capital.

VICTORY8 pitches Vietnam's best and most promising boxers against the might of a World Team - a squad carefully selected for their variety of skills, styles and geography.

And those attributes lead us to the gem of Africa  - BOTSWANA  !!

This country is landlocked and nestled in the middle of the continent, and whilst famous for it's diamonds, it will surely become renowned soon for another commodity.

BOXING  !!

Breaking news is that Vietnam will get it's first look at an African fighter this November, with Botwana #1  Moabi Ngaka confirmed to make the trip for VICTORY8.

Ngaka had a great amateur career with over 70 fights, and has already scored 2 wins as a pro. It is expected that the champion Ngaka will compete in a 6 round bout at VICTORY8 as preparation for a huge match to be held in Botswana at the end of the year. It is likely that the African boxer will take on the Philippines hurtful puncher Mark John Yap as the main event.

The Botswana contingent will also do a media conference in Hanoi detailing their big plans for their star's title match in December, and Yap will face off with his African foe in Vietnam to market the event.

Watch this space, as we will have more information on Vietnam and World Team selections in the coming weeks.

LÊ NGỌC MINH KHÔI BAPTISM OF FIRE

VSP PRO has unearthed lots of unheralded yet talented fighters so far, and our next installment on Saturday September 30th promises to continue the trend.

One of six boxers that will make their debut is 52kg firebrand Lê Ngọc Minh Khoi - a 22 year old boxer who always looked destined for the pro ranks.

The solidly built Dong Nai fighter has actually been around boxing since he was a kid, and even achieved a bronze medal at the nationals back in 2014. But his come forward and aggressive style always beckoned the professional format, and as destiny has it, the Team Manny boxer will make his long awaited first appearance at the VSP Gym in two weeks time.

Khoi will take on Pham Lê Gia Huy of the Khang Anh Martial Art Club in HCMC, and for sure, this will be a hell fight between two very fiery combatants making their debuts.

BEN LIGAS v ANDRES CAMPOS TONIGHT

Watch Philippines national champion Ben Ligas assault on the IBO Intercontinental belt tonight when he takes on hot South American boxer Andres Campos.

Campos was unbeaten in 15 fights before dropping a points decision to world champion Sunny Edwards in June.

Ligas has plenty of local support, attracting the attention of Andrew and Jason Maloney. The Philippines champ is flanked by master trainer Jetro Pabustan.

The live stream of tonight's bout will be posted here later.

BEN LIGAS IN IBO TITLE BID DOWN UNDER

"The Sniper" Ben Ligas is in career best shape to shock them at the beautiful coastal  town of Burleigh Heads in Australia tomorrow night.

Ligas 15-3 takes on Chile's Andre Campos 15-1 for the IBO Intercontinental Fly title, and is expected to be easy pickings for the South American.

Campos had been destroying everything in his path in a 15 fight winning streak, before a points loss to world #1 Sunny Edwards in June of this year. The Chilean was only a fraction behind in that contest, and surely The Sniper represents a far easier task for him !!

But the Philippines national champion Ben Ligas will have other ideas, and as you can see from today's weigh in, he cuts an imposing figure and looks set to create a major upset in Australia tomorrow night.

MARK JOHN YAP IN WBC ASIA TITLE BID

Breaking news is the announcement that Philippines Mark John Yap will fight in Bangkok later this month for the WBC Lightweight crown.

Cagayan de Oro product Yap will challenge Thailand champion Apichet Petchmanee (15-1) for the belt that he secured back in late 2022. Petchmanee has been very dominant at home, and suffered his lone points loss abroad at Korakuen Hall against the outstanding Japanese boxer Katsuya Yasuda (10-0)

Mark John Yap has been a revelation since fighting Charly Suarez in Manila one year ago. He had previously done his best work at Bantamweight and was contemplating retirement, but rose to meet Suarez at 130lb.

Despite losing that contest, Yap looked in great touch, and is unbeaten in 4 subsequent fights.

He has defied the stigma of increasing weight, but Petchmanee looms as his first serious test at 135lb.

BABY KONG HITS WINNING FORM

VSP PRO has already showcased some excellent boxers this year, and what has been most exciting, is the improvements that many of the Vietnam fighters have brought to the ring when they have competed more than once.

But the man known as "Kong" - Le Hoang Hiep -  is one Vietnamese fighter that really stands out !

After suffering a "controversial" loss early this year, Hiep has been simply outstanding since scoring two electric wins at VSP PRO.  And there are all the positive signs that this fan friendly boxer is sure to win many more in the near future.

Hiep works with former World ranked super middleweight Ben Mcculloch in this video at VSP Gym.

SUAREZ IN HAND CAST FOR 6 WEEKS
August 30, 2023

SUAREZ IN HAND CAST FOR 6 WEEKS

The King's Warrior will have his broken right hand in a protective cast for the next 6 weeks, but the good news is, he is expected to make a full recovery.

Suarez staged an amazing effort to stay composed after injuring the hand early in round one, and being put under constant pressure by excellent Dominican Yohan Vasquez.

It was a bitter sweet US debut for the Philippines best boxer, who will be hoping for a ring return later this year.

CHARLY SUAREZ BREAKS HIS HAND

CHARLY SUAREZ BREAKS HIS HAND

Despite a dominant win at his USA debut, the King's Warrior Charly Suarez was the victim of misfortune.

Suarez broke his hand early in round one, forcing him to turn to his amateur skills and box his way to victory. The Philippines star turned southpaw frequently in the bout to ensure he survived  the ten rounds against his rugged opponent Yohan Vasquez.

SUAREZ WINS ON USA DEBUT

SUAREZ WINS ON USA DEBUT

Charly Suarez turned away a scrappy challenge from Yohan Vasquez to enjoy a successful U.S. debut. after a ten-round, unanimous decision victory over Dominican Republic’s Vazquez. Scores were 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93 for Suarez in the opening bout of the evening.

Action from bell to bell was entertaining and competitive, to the point where Vasquez (25-4, 20KOs) was disappointed when he heard the lopsided scores. Suarez landed the crisper combinations and cleaner punches but was forced to fend off Vasquez who effectively cut off the ring in the middleweights.

Suarez—a 35-year-old from General Santos City, Philippines—regained control late in the fight to advance to 16-0 (9KOs). The bout was his third straight on the road, having previously posted wins in Vietnam last December and a come-from-behind 12th round stoppage of unbeaten Paul Fleming on March 15 in Sydney, Australia.

Vietnam Pro Boxing market update
August 27, 2023

Vietnam Pro Boxing market update

Tính tới tháng 8/2023, theo thống kê từ trang BoxRec - nơi ghi nhận thành tích của giới Boxing chuyên nghiệp, số võ sĩ người Việt Nam đang thi đấu là 110 võ sĩ (77 nam, 13 nữ). Đây rõ ràng không phải một con số khả quan với một quốc gia 100 triệu dân.

So sánh với các quốc gia khác trong khu vực, Philippines đang có 764 võ sĩ (753 nam, 11 nữ) trên 103 triệu dân. Thái Lan sở hữu 781 võ sĩ (634 nam, 147 nữ) trên 67 triệu dân. Số lượng võ sĩ của Việt Nam hiện mới xếp trên các quốc gia không nổi trội về Boxing chuyên nghiệp trong khu vực như Indonesia (91 võ sĩ), Singapore (16 võ sĩ), Malaysia (11 võ sĩ),...

Boxing Việt Nam bắt đầu trở lại từ những năm đầu thập niên 2002 kể từ sau lệnh cấm từ năm tại giải Vô địch Quốc gia 1994 ở Hải Phòng. Kể từ đó tới nay, chúng ta đã chứng kiến những bước tiến đáng kể ở đấu trường nghiệp dư: HCV SEA Games 2011, 2015, 2021 và 2023; HCĐ Asiad 2014, 2018; có ứng viên giành vé chính thức dự Olympic Tokyo 2020 gọi tên Nguyễn Thị Tâm - Nguyễn Văn Đương.

Dù vậy, Boxing chuyên nghiệp lại là câu chuyện khác khi đây là thị trường cần sự tham gia của các công ty tư nhân, hay còn được biết tới với tên gọi hình thức xã hội hóa.

Những nhà vô địch châu lục và thế giới có thể là hình mẫu để các công ty quảng bá đánh dấu hoạt động của mình tại thị trường Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, câu chuyện "đào rộng trước khi đào sâu" vẫn là thách thức mà tất cả đang cùng phải giải quyết, bởi một nền Boxing chuyên nghiệp không thể chỉ dựa vào tên tuổi của những nhà vô địch ít ỏi.

Theo thống kê của BoxRec, từ năm 2015 tới nay, 27 sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp đã được tổ chức tại Việt Nam, chỉ bằng với số sự kiện được tổ chức tại Philippines từ tháng 7/2015 tới nay. Có lẽ, đây cũng chính là câu trả lời cho việc tại sao số lượng các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam ít đến như vậy.

Hãy thử quan sát theo hai hướng sau: Nếu một công ty quảng bá muốn gây sự chú ý, họ sẽ cần những sự kiện lớn, với các trận tranh đai. Tuy nhiên, một sự kiện như vậy chỉ có thể cho phép tối đa 10-15 trận đấu. Liệu những võ sĩ mới bắt đầu thi đấu chuyên nghiệp có được lựa chọn xuất hiện tại đây?

Nếu tổ chức một sự kiện nhỏ, tạo cơ hội cho các võ sĩ mới xây dựng bảng thành tích, xuất hiện trên BoxRec với những trận đấu đầu tiên. Sự kiện đó sẽ không đủ sức hút với khán giả cũng như tạo tiếng vang trong cộng đồng.

Chúng ta không thể trách khán giả chỉ chú ý tới những sự kiện lớn như Victory 8, Fortunes of War, LEAD có sự xuất hiện của những võ sĩ nổi tiếng, nhưng điều đó chỉ đáp ứng được bề nổi của bài toán phát triển, mà không giải quyết được vấn đề cơ bản: số lượng võ sĩ.

Bài toán số lượng võ sĩ bắt đầu được tính đến giai đoạn cuối năm 2022, khi VSP Promotions giới thiệu chuỗi sự kiện chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro, liên tục đem đến những màn ra mắt của các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp. Mục tiêu của VSP Pro không gì khác ngoài tạo dựng bảng thành tích cho các võ sĩ chưa tên tuổi, cho phép họ làm quen với sàn đấu chuyên nghiệp. Các trận đấu của họ được công nhận bởi những tổ chức WBO, IBF, WBC, cùng với các tổ chức Boxing tư nhân của Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc hay Philippines.

Tương tự, LEAD Boxing sau hai sự kiện đầu tiên, cũng cho thấy sự xuất hiện của những cái tên chưa hề có tiếng tăm trong giới Boxing Việt Nam. Thành tích của họ bắt đầu được ghi nhận bởi các tổ chức như WBC, WBA.

Việc các công ty quảng bá bắt đầu dành nguồn đầu tư của mình cho các "tân binh", đã phần nào cho thấy bài toán số lượng của Boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam đang được tìm cách giải quyết. Chúng ta cần nhiều sự kiện, nhiều cơ hội cho những võ sĩ mới, hơn là chỉ tập trung vào các trận đấu lớn chỉ để thu hút sự chú ý.

Fight 7: Lương Nguyễn Công Khải hòa điểm Trương Ngô Gia Huy
August 26, 2023

Fight 7: Lương Nguyễn Công Khải hòa điểm Trương Ngô Gia Huy

Tay đấm 28 tuổi dày dạn kinh nghiệm Lương Nguyễn Công Khải đánh dấu sự trở lại sàn boxing nhiều một thời gian khá dài nghỉ đánh vì chấn thương. Trong khi đó dù ít hơn đến 8 tuổi nhưng Trương Ngô Gia Huy cũng có thâm niên nhất định tập boxing và đạt thành tích ở giải boxing nghiệp dư quốc gia.

Áp sát đối phương với thể thủ high-guard trước khi tung ra đòn jab và móc cực nặng, lối đánh của Công Khải tưởng như đơn giản nhưng đạt hiệu quả rất tốt. Đặc biệt lực đánh của tay đấm từng phải nghỉ dài vì chấn thương vẫn rất đáng nể.

Vẫn lối thi đấu nhìn khá đơn giản, Công Khải ghi điểm với cú over-hand nặng ký trúng mặt đối thủ ngay đầu hiệp 2.Trong khi đó, ở những tình huống bị ép góc tay đấm trẻ Gia Huy cũng có những tình huống trả đòn bằng combo đấm móc trúng đích, nhưng lực đánh còn khá khiêm tốn.

Hiệp 3 chứng kiến võ sỹ trẻ Gia Huy tích cực di chuyển và ra đòn nhưng những đòn đánh của anh thường đi trúng đôi găng đã thủ thế sẵn của Công Khải. Ngược lại, dù ra đòn ít hơn nhưng Công Khải có những cú over-hand, móc phải thực sự nặng ký và chất lượng.

Hiệp đấu hai tay đấm vẫn không đẩy cao nhịp độ. Công Khải lộ rõ thể lực đi xuống và những đòn over-hand của anh cũng không còn tạo ra đột biến. Trong khi đó Gia Huy có những combo đấm móc phản đòn hiệu quả. Đây là hiệp đấu tay đấm 19 tuổi có lẽ là tìm thấy nhiều nhất đòn đấm trúng đích nhất trong cuộc so găng này.

Với việc cả hai không thể tìm thấy đòn knock-down và kịch bản trận đấu khá cân bằng, không ngạc nhiên khi 2/3 giám định chấm điểm hòa 38-38 và màn so găng giữa Công Khải vs. Gia Huy được thông báo kết quả hòa.

Fight 6: Nguyễn Khắc Dũng thắng điểm Trương Hải Biền
August 26, 2023

Fight 6: Nguyễn Khắc Dũng thắng điểm Trương Hải Biền

Ở lần thứ 3 thượng đài VSP Pro tay đấm 29 tuổi Khắc Dũng gặp đối thủ được đánh giá "dễ chịu" hơn. Tay đấm Hải Biền mới 17 tuổi và chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm với boxing. Thực tế được chứng minh khi Khắc Dũng có những cú jab, body shot và đòn móc hiệu quả. Trong khi đó tay đấm trẻ Hải Biền cho thấy kỹ thuật ra đòn còn khá hạn chế.

Hiệp 2 Khắc Dũng tiếp tục duy trì nhịp độ thi đấu chậm, dùng các cú jab tầm thấp trước khi ra đòn móc. Chiến thuật này tiếp tục cho thấy hiệu quả và tay đấm đến từ Hà Nội ghi điểm tốt. Trong khi đó Hải Biền tích cực di chuyển và ra đòn nhưng các tổ hợp đòn chưa thật nhuần nhuyễn.

Kịch bản ở 2 hiệp cuối không có đột biến dù Khắc Dũng tiếp tục giữ nhịp đánh chậm vì thể lực đi xuống. Hải Biền không thể tận dụng được lợi thế sức trẻ, ngược lại, thi thoảng anh còn dính đòn đấm over-hand từ phía đối thủ. Trụ vững đến giây cuối cùng, Khắc Dũng đã có phần thưởng xứng đáng là chiến thắng đồng thuận (39-37, 39-37, 39-37).

Fight 5: Đinh Minh Tuân thắng điểm Võ Hoàng Hòa (giao hữu)

Một trận giao hữu thú vị giữa hai tay đấm rất trẻ mới 14 và 16 tuổi ở hạng 48 kg. Dù mang tính chất giao hữu nhưng chất lượng chuyên môn cuộc so găng giữa Võ Hoàng Hòa và Đinh Minh Tuấn khá tốt khi cả hai tay đấm trẻ này đã tập luyện bài bản và giành được nhiều thành tích ở các giải boxing nghiệp dư trẻ quốc gia.

Hiệp 1 ghi nhận sự chủ động áp sát và có những combo đòn hiệu quả của Đinh Minh Tuấn. Trong khi đó Võ Hoàng Hoa có 1 đòn tay sau nặng ký khiến gương mặt của Minh Tuấn bật ngửa ra sau.

Kịch bản của hai hiệp đấu kế tiếp chứng kiến sự máu lửa của Minh Tuấn khi tay đấm này liên tục ép góc và tung ra các combo đòn móc cực nhanh. Dẫu vậy, Hoàng Hoa cũng có những cú trả đòn tay sau chất lượng.

Bước ngoặt chỉ đến ở nửa cuối hiệp 4 khi trong tình huống ép góc Minh Tuấn đấm móc tay trái khiến Hoàng Hoa loạng choạng mất thằng bằng trước khi dính tiếp cú móc phải cực nặng từ đối thủ khiến trọng tài buộc phải dừng đếm. Dù không thể thắng knock-out nhưng chung cuộc Minh Tuấn vẫn giành thắng điểm đồng thuận với tỷ số 3-0.

Fight 4: Trần Ngọc Thiện thắng knock-out kỹ thuật Nguyễn Tấn Thành
August 26, 2023

Fight 4: Trần Ngọc Thiện thắng knock-out kỹ thuật Nguyễn Tấn Thành

Tay đấm mới 17 tuổi Tấn Thành nhập cuộc phấn khích khi liên tục áp sát ra đòn. Tuy nhiên, Ngọc Thiện nhanh chóng cho thấy kinh nghiệm với một loạt đòn đấm móc nặng ký trúng mặt đối thủ. Liên tiếp những phút giây thi đấu sau đó Ngọc Thiện có những đòn móc và upper-cut trúng đích chất lượng. Hệ quả trúng đòn nặng khiến miếng bảo vệ hàm của Tấn Thành rơi ra và anh cũng bị chảy máu mũi. Trước khi hiệp 1 khép lại Ngọc Thiện còn kịp tặng cho đàn em Tấn Thành combo đòn bài bản trúng mặt rất hiệu quả.

Kịch bản ở hiệp 2 không thay đổi khi những đòn đánh của Tấn Thành chủ yếu là đòn jab không thể vượt qua thế thủ của Ngọc Thiện. Trong khi đó dù là đòn jab hay đấm móc Ngọc Thiện đều ghi điểm tốt khi đều ghim trúng phần mặt đối thủ. Trọng tài thậm chí phải dừng trận đấu để bác sỹ kiểm tra vết thương của Tấn Thành khi gương mặt anh đổ máu khá nhiều.

Hiệp 3 mới trôi qua 1 phút Tấn Thành lại dính các đòn móc và tay sau khá nặng vào vùng giữa mặt. Ngay sau tình huống trận đấu đã phải dừng lại và phần thắng knock-out kỹ thuật được tuyên cho tay đấm của Matrix Boxing Trần Ngọc Thiện.
