Khôi Nguyên chủ động áp sát ngay từ đầu và có những đòn đấm khá nặng ký. Phải đến cuối hiệp 1 Tấn Minh mới "nóng máy" và có những đòn tay sau trúng đich khá tốt.
Hiệp 2 chứng kiến đòn đánh của Tấn Minh dần cho thấy sự đa dạng với cú jab và móc phải, trong khi Khôi Nguyên tổ hợp ra đòn "nghèo nàn" khi anh gần như chỉ có những đòn móc trái.
Phải đến hiệp đấu cuối cùng Khôi Nguyên mới nỗ lực ép Tấn Minh vào góc đài và kiểm soát tốt thế trận với các tổ hợp đòn móc chất lượng. Những đòn đấm của Khôi Nguyên khiến Tấn Minh rất vất vả chống đỡ. Không thể tìm thấy đòn knock-down, Khôi Nguyên chấp nhận thua chung cuộc khi cả 3 giám định chấm thắng cho Tấn Minh (39-37, 39-37, 39-37).
Như vậy Tấn Minh đã có chiến thắng đầu tiên khi ra mắt sàn boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro.
The very talented southpaw Lorence Rosas returned to the ring after an extended break last year, and despite his best laid plans, the comeback proved to present significant challenges!
"The Pride of Palawan" had to overcome a bout of COVID, a cancelled fight, and multiple quarantines, yet still managed to secure fights against two of the very best fighters in the Philippines. Impressively, Rosas took these bouts at a heavier weight class in order to "fight" his way back into the rankings. His most recent performance against giant super featherweight Virgel Vitor was quality, and he gave the top class Bohol boxer total hell from start to finish.
And as if the year hadn't been difficult enough, returning home to Palawan in December had more surprises in store. Typhoon Odette ravaged Puerto Princessa, and unfortunately, the house of the Rosas family was destroyed. While many others spent Christmas around the tree, Lorence languished in a tent!
Onward and upward, and the very resilient Lorence Rosas attacks the new year with renewed zest, returning for TIGER 2022 on March 5th.
This will prove to be a really interesting measure of Rosas, who will drop to the more suitable featherweight division. In fact if things go to plan, expect to see the talented Palawan boxer settle back at 122 pounds in the near future.
With 2021 best forgotten, the exciting news is that the Pride of Palawan is back, and ready to show he belongs.
Stay tuned, with news on an opponent for the slick southpaw Lorence Rosas coming soon!

WAR DOG PRIMED TO STOP SUAREZ
Outstanding prospect Tomjune Mangubat is primed to give a career best performance on March 5th , when he headlines in Paranaque, Manila at “TIGER 2022” .
Mangubat will be fighting for the WBA Asia bragging rights, and the opposition surely doesn’t get any bigger than boxing royalty himself, the “King’s Warror” Charly Suarez. The Cebu based boxer known as “War Dog” heads to Manila armed with not only an intimidating career resume, but a purple patch of recent and devastating victories.
Tomjune Mangubat grew up in the mountains of Bukidnon, Mindanao - a place that has proven to be an assembly line for producing top fighters. Mangubat was top echelon from the start, winning local and national titles before turning pro at the age of 18. And it was no surprise that he would transition seamlessly to the pro ranks. This kid was big and rangy, had plenty of grit, and was rapidly refining his amateur skills to become a hurtful puncher. War Dog quickly earned a reputation as both technical and dangerous, winning 9 of his first 10 fights with thunderous knockouts. The signs were there from the start that the Omega Boxing Gym prodigy was something special. Significantly, he has showed the ominous signs of bigger things to come, and with every match, he has shown constant improvements in all facets of his performance.
Late in 2019, we were given a valuable insight into the mettle of the rapidly improving Mangubat when he suffered a split decision loss to Korea’s #1 fighter Jong Seon Kang.
The match was quality from the opening bell, underscored by a massive work rate and constant power punching by both fighters. Whilst many consider that Mangubat was “very unlucky” not to get the decision, it is worth noting that his Korean opponent was the very same that recently knocked out top class pinoy Pete Apolinar. War Dog was most definitely the dominant fighter in this epic clash, but rather than dwell on the unfortunate scoring, he has simply gone from strength to strength!
Tomjune Mangubat shapes as another significant road block to Charly Suarez’s world title aspirations. His four wins in 2021 foreshadow the destructive form that he will bring to Manila this March. All four were top opponents, yet all received one sided beat downs - three resulting in brutal knockouts. Only the rugged Ernie Sanchez survived on his feet, but it is fair to say that he was comprehensively bashed in an unanimous win for the War Dog.
Mangubat’s most recent performance, significantly, was also his best thus far. The match was held in October last year, against the highly promising and unbeaten Allan Villanueva. This was a keenly anticipated clash in Cebu, as Villanueva had rightful claims to victory, sporting 11 and 0 (8 KO) credentials. But Mangubat was just brutal from the start, mixing technical prowess with hard core physicality. The Bukidnon boy controlled range from the opening bell, setting the tempo going forward, and also on the back foot. He really befuddled Villanueva with wis variety of high and low punches, but it was his quality body punching that really dismantled his opponent, and the match finished with another clinical stoppage for the War Dog.
In what is without doubt the biggest local derby match of the year, you have the Philippines’ best boxer Charly Suarez, taking on perhaps the Philippines’ most dangerous , young and improving fighter in Tomjune Mangubat. Whilst no one disputes the pedigree of Suarez, there are naysayers that maintain he left his assault on the world rankings a little bit too late.
Will this be pivotal match where Suarez shows he is getting a little “old” ?? If there is anyone who can put that theory to the test on March 5th, it is certainly the War Dog Tomjune Mangubat!

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez, arriving at Manila airport just moments ago! Suarez had an outstanding 2021, winning five on end against top opponents, culminating in a December victory against hot unbeaten prospect Delmar Pellio. He returned home to his native Davao for the holidays, spending precious time with friends and family.
Now Suarez is back!
With the recent confirmation of a WBA Asia title, and a killer opponent in the shape of Tomjune Mangubat, the King's Warrior was quickly back into "all business" mode! Suarez will resume training in Manila later this week, under the expert guidance of former national team fighter Delfin Boholst. The WBA title fight Suarez v Mangubat is scheduled for Paranaque, Manila on Saturday March 5th.
This just got made, and WBA approved only minutes ago!
Roldan Aldea is sidelined with injury, and champion Omega Cebu fighter Tomjun Mangubat has siezed his opportunity to continue his ominous winning streak. Mangubat is a hot young prospect with not just a great record, but boasting plenty of firepower. The imposing fighter has showed the making of something special, resolving 3 of last 4 impressive wins with scary knockouts.
The WBA were quick to recognise the great potential of Mangubat, and along with a glowing endorsement, were quick to approve the Bukidnon native for the huge WBA Asia battle with Suarez.
Big thanks go out to our partners the Elorde group, and our friends at the Omega Boxing Gym in Cebu for putting together this epic match up.
The Ultimate Knockout Challenge presents:
TIGER 2022. Featuring the Philippines best fighters including Charly Suarez, Jhun Ramonal, Carl "Wonder Boy" Martin, Richie Pumicpic, "the Wolverine" JonJon Estrada and much, much more!

TIGER 2022 Paranaque, Manila this March.
Fight card announcement coming soon!
Roldan Aldea acquired WBA ASIA Super Featherweight title in Papua New Guinea on April 25, 2021. In considering pandemic situation, WBA ASIA has maintained his champion status despite of over due date with long-term inactivities.
Roldan was supposed to defend his title against Amateur veteran Chalie Suarez on March 5, 2022. However, Roldan got an injury that he could not go ahead for this fight. Through this, WBA ASIA decided to reactivate this division as follow;
Due to Roldan’s injury & long-term inactivities, Roldan Aldea will be classified as “In Recess” status. And, Chalie Suarez team will hold the WBA ASIA Super Featherweight title match against another opponent on March 5 as scheduled. The winner of this fight would try to make a defense match against Roldan Aldea if Roldan recovers from his injury. In this Super Featherweight division, WBA ASIA EAST champion is another Amateur veteran, Mongolian prospect Tsendbaatar Erdenebat. And, WBA ASIA SOUTH title will be held in Dubai on upcoming February by Highland Promotions.
Super Featherweight division might be the most busy division for WBA ASIA in the early of this year, 2022.
Lorenz "Cerberus" Ladrada kicks off his 2022 campaign alongside an all star cast this coming March in Paranaque, Manila.Beware the three headed dog!
The sport of boxing can throw up unusual and ambiguous results. Some would go further and argue inept - often even corrupt! And it is also an unfortunate reality that those outside the ring, those that adjudicate the results, often lack the resolve and the ability of the combatants inside the ropes! Ben “the Sniper” Ligas returns on March 5 hot on the heels of a superb 2021.
Ligas was fortunate to engage in three fantastic matches during the year, starting with a hard earned but deserved win in February against a really durable Alphoe Dagayloan. This match was nonstop punching, a smattering of skills, and really good moments for both fighters.
July saw Ligas take on outstanding prospect Miel Fajardo, and in what appeared to be a match too tough to pick on paper, the match fulfilled every expectation and then some. In what could have been easily “Fight of the Year”, Fajardo was equally energetic and brutal, putting The Sniper under constant duress. To his credit, Ligas’ composure and cool counter punching redressed the scoring imbalance, and signalled that he is a boxer of some promise. Fajardo had firepower on tap, and showed that he is a handful for any opponent, and he definitely has a big future.
Robbing jeepneys is not legal, but how about robbing boxers?
Ben Ligas ventured to Cebu in late October, and took on the unbeaten and feisty April Jay Abne. This was a really good quality action match, and predictably, Abne brought lots of energy to keep it entertaining. It must be said that Ligas technically took his opponent to school, and scored a comprehensive win against a more raw, yet willing opponent, It was a nice fight from Abne, who did his best to stay in the contest till the end, and did enjoy good moments of his own. His effort to take 3 rounds from Ligas shows promise of things to come. The official “result” was an unfortunate distraction to a great match between Abne and Ligas, and a sad reminder of what is all too common in boxing these days.
That was then, and this is now, and the big and breaking news is that the Sniper Ben Ligas is back March 5th. No sour grapes or hard luck stories, just big smiles and lots of heart, ensuring that you are going to see something special very soon!
The too hard to tame, the very wild and unruly Jino Rodrigo, was left seething after the cancellation of his fight with Jhack "the Fat" Tepora. Rodrigo looked ripped and ready for a war with Tepora, only for the match to be lost on the scales.
The man known as the "Silent Beast" put in a great show when he visited Vietnam in early 2019, and has been keen to trade shots with a Vietnam fighter ever since.
Jino Rodrigo gets his new year's wish come true on March 5th, when he takes on the Hanoi hardman Nguyen Van Hai. The Viet is a legend in his country, and loves to fight. So much so, that he jumped at the opportunity to rise in weight class to tackle the bigger Rodrigo. And he is a Rodrigo fan! After seeing Jino fight in Vietnam, his comments were " Very good! Lots of action! I like!"
Jino Rodrigo looked awesome in recent sparring with Philippines #1 Joe Noynay, and that preparation is now in the bottle for March 5th. True to his name, we won't hear big words from Rodrigo, but you can be sure that the Silent Beast will uncork that bottle for the Vietnam fighter Nguyen Van Hai when he steps into the ring in Manila in 2022!
Carl Jammes Martin closed the year with a gritty win over champion Mark Anthony Geraldo. It was a contest for the Philippines title, and regarded as the first significant step up for the Wonder Boy.
He passed the test with flying colours!!.
Geraldo applied non stop pressure throughout their epic match, and it was a mature performace by Martin to keep a cool head. Ultimately, it was the accuracy and crispness of the counter punch that swayed the judges in favour of Wonder Boy, and it proved to be a top quality title bout.
What's next for the boxing prodigy Carl Jammes Martin?
Stay tuned, but be ready for some big news coming this March 5th !
Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" is set to return March 2022 in a more uncompromising, brutal form, than ever before !
Baconaje enjoyed a breakout year, with three impressive wins over Jay Quidlat, Ivor Lastrilla and Danny Tampipi. He then ventured to Russia, taking a loss to the unbeaten Ivan Kozlovsky, for the WBC Asia title. The match proved to be more of a "hands full" experience for Arnel, as it was contested at two full divisions above his normal weight class.
Arnel Baconaje ranks as one of the Philippines most classy boxers, but he also boasts plenty in the power department. The fighter from Iloilo has racked up 11 knockouts in his 14 wins, and he is looking to continue on that rampaging path!
A real exponent of working high and low, Baconaje knows full well how to break down an opponent.
And when he lands the telling shots, well, as this aptly monikered boxer demonstrates, the SILENCE IS DEAFENING!
Joseph Parker 30-2 (21 KO's) wins a 12 round war against Derek Chisora 32-12 (23 KO's). The judges scored it 114-112, 115-111 and 115-110 all in favour of Parker.

Bên cạnh các hoạt động của Boxing bán chuyên như việc tập trung lực lượng chuẩn bị cho SEA Games 31, ASIAD 19 sẽ diễn ra trong năm 2022, phương hướng phát triển nền Boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam là một trong những chủ đề được quan tâm trong thời gian trở lại đây.
Cùng với các cấp quản lý nhà nước như Bộ môn Boxing - Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao hay Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam, sự xuất hiện của những đơn vị tư nhân đã thổi một làn gió mới vào quá trình đào tạo các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp. Dù vậy, để có thể thực sự tổ chức một nền boxing nhà nghề thực thụ, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi nào. Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh, trưởng bộ môn Boxing/Kickboxing, Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao đã có những chia sẻ về vấn đề này.
PV: Trong thời gian vừa qua, Boxing Việt Nam đã chứng kiến một số lần hợp tác giữa các đơn vị quản lý nhà nước với những đơn vị tư nhân, ông đánh giá thế nào về tính hiệu quả của sự hợp tác này?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Trước đây, bộ môn cũng đã làm việc với các trung tâm đào tạo võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp, như Nguyễn Văn Đương với VSP, Trương Đình Hoàng tại Saigon Sports Club. Các vận động viên được tập trung tập huấn, thi đấu nhiều và thể lực chuyên môn tăng lên rất tốt. Về trường hợp của Thu Nhi, tôi cũng đã sang Campuchia theo dõi trận đấu tranh đai WBO Châu Á – Thái Bình Dương. Tôi đánh giá Cocky Buffalo là đơn vị rất tâm huyết trong việc đưa các võ sĩ thi đấu chuyên nghiệp.
Một số vận động viên từ đội tuyển Quốc gia cũng từng tham gia các sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức. Trong thời gian tới khi tình hình dịch bệnh được kiểm soát, chúng tôi sẽ làm việc lại với CLB để có phương án hỗ trợ vận động viên đội tuyển tập luyện, thi đấu chuyên nghiệp tăng tính cọ xát.
PV: Theo như nguyện vọng của một số đơn vị, ông có thấy cần phải đưa ra một cơ chế hợp tác chung, thay vì các trường hợp đơn lẻ như trước đây?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Về vấn đề này, đúng là cần có một cơ chế làm việc. Ví dụ như trường hợp của võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Đương, khi kí hợp đồng với VSP để thi đấu chuyên nghiệp nhưng vẫn do đội tuyển Quốc gia quản lý. Có nhiều phương án, ví dụ như để võ sĩ kí hợp đồng thi đấu các sự kiện do công ty tổ chức nhằm tăng khả năng cọ xát. Hoặc các công ty cùng với đội tuyển chi trả lương cho võ sĩ tập luyện thi đấu song song.
PV: Lại nói về vấn đề chuyên nghiệp hóa Boxing Việt Nam trong thời gian qua, các đơn vị tư nhân cũng có tâm tư về những hạn chế trong việc phát triển Boxing chuyên nghiệp, ông có nhận định gì về vấn đề này?
Đặc biệt, trong thời gian tới, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi gì để phù hợp với những cơ hội trước mắt?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Quả thực, Việt Nam chưa tổ chức được các giải chuyên nghiệp, những sự kiện đã xuất hiện đều do những công ty, đơn vị tư nhân tự thân thực hiện. Như VSP với Victory 8, Cocky Buffalo chủ động đưa VĐV ra nước ngoài thi đấu, cách làm này rất tốt mà theo tôi các cơ quan quản lý cũng cần chung tay thực hiện.
Trên thực tế, Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam đã có tổ chức Ban chuyên nghiệp để thực hiện những công tác trên. Tuy nhiên trong thời gian vừa qua, Ban chuyên nghiệp theo tôi đánh giá hoạt động vẫn chưa hiệu quả và không đóng góp được gì vào công tác chuyên nghiệp hóa cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Thời gian tới, khi Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam tổ chức kiện toàn lại bộ máy, theo tôi, ta có thể chọn ra một trong số các công ty có năng lực, tiếp xúc những Liên đoàn quốc tế để tổ chức các sự kiện chuyên nghiệp.
Tôi đã từng làm việc với một số đơn vị, nếu ta giao công tác của Ban chuyên nghiệp cho đơn vị tư nhân, họ có quyền đào tạo vận động viên, đồng thời có nhiệm vụ kêu gọi tài trợ để đầu tư cho Boxing Việt Nam. Họ cũng rất sẵn sàng với phương án này.
Khi đó, Liên đoàn và Bộ môn có thể tập trung đào tạo hệ bán chuyên, còn Ban chuyên nghiệp và công ty tư nhân sẽ đảm nhận nhiệm vụ với hệ chuyên nghiệp, bao gồm tổ chức thi đấu hoặc có thể cả tranh đai quốc tế.
Nếu tổ chức lại được bộ máy Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam và Ban chuyên nghiệp hoạt động đúng như tên gọi và vai trò, tôi tin các sự kiện thi đấu chuyên nghiệp sẽ được tổ chức thường xuyên hơn, tạo thêm nhiều cơ hội thi đấu cho các vận động viên.
Xin cảm ơn ông !!!
"Bộ môn đã soạn thảo chương trình tập huấn trọng điểm, thuê chuyên gia nước ngoài cho 2 VĐV Nguyễn Văn Đương và Nguyễn Thị Tâm để nhắm tới SEA Games và ASIAD để trình lên Tổng cục TDTT. Trong năm tới, các vận động viên sẽ thực hiện tập huấn dài hạn ở nước ngoài. Nguyễn Văn Đương có thể sang tập huấn tại Cuba cùng chuyên gia tại đây, với Nguyễn Thị Tâm, chúng tôi đang tính toán về chương trình tập huấn ở Nga hoặc một số nước Châu Âu – nơi có nền Boxing nữ phát triển. Về SEA Games, bộ môn cũng đã tham mưu với lãnh đạo Tổng cục, gửi công văn về các địa phương có vận động viên tiềm năng giành huy chương đề xuất đưa đi tập huấn cùng với em Tâm và em Đương trong năm sau 2022." - Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh - trưởng Bộ môn Boxing, Tổng cục TDTT, chia sẻ.

Geez..., it seems like a lifetime ago especially with the COVID pandemic raging across the globe. This photo is going to make it to the history book one day when people look back and ask "Hey, when did professional boxing start in Vietnam?" My business partner is a punter who successfully runs a billion dollar betting business in Australia and he immediately recognized the talents of some Vietnamese boxers from a small boxing event I had arranged 4 months earlier. He had this crazy idea of bringing in talented boxers from Australia to Vietnam to put this opinion to the test. Vietnamese boxers were all amateurs and had not fought professional boxing. He was of the opinion that Vietnamese boxers would put up a good fight while the Australian coach laughed and predicted 100% win by the Australian team with 60% KO rate. 8 boxers were flown in from Australia and the event was on. The event was done as an exhibition fight that allowed amateur boxers to be matched against professional boxers. As the event went on, one Aussie boxer after another exited the ring in disbelief that an amateur would beat him. Final score was 5 wins to the Vietnamese team out of 8 fights that evening. Can't believe me? Check out the full fight videos on our YouTube channel.
Now it begs the question, how did Vietnamese boxers perform so well against good pros? Vietnam is not really known for professional boxing. There are several factors that I think resulted in such outcome. The organizer deliberately kept the rounds at 4 rounds for each bout. This is actually a huge advantage to the amateur boxers who are used to the 3 rounds format under amateur rules. (If you are not familiar with the difference between "Amateur Boxing vs Professional Boxing, check out our blog on this and you will definitely have a better understanding on which boxer is winning and why.) Anyway, back to the topic! Another factor is that the Australian boxers definitely underestimated their opponents and did not really prepare as hard as they otherwise would have. In addition, the weather (the heat and the humidity) is not something boxers from Sydney were used to and this became even harder for them in the ring as multiple halogen spot lights raised the temperature to above 33C. Last but least, it's the psychological aspect of the match up. There must have been a pressure on the professional boxer to win the fight and when they felt being outscored by the Vietnamese amateur boxer in the first 2 rounds, a thought would probably go through "damn....it's only 4 rounds and I am already down on 2.....I gotta do something!" This would push the pro boxers to take more risk by being the aggressor but it also means they become more vulnerable to counter punches and making mistakes that could be exploited by the Vietnamese boxers.
One thing that really stood out was how tough the Vietnamese boxers were. I am not talking about the physical toughness which all boxers had that night but the grit, the heart, and not being afraid at all about fighting professional boxers. Boxing is a mental sport as much as it is a physical sport and this traits by the Vietnamese boxers show bright hope for the future of professional boxing in Vietnam. For the next Victory8, we said we would bring even tougher fighters from overseas to go against the Viets!
World team fighter and Vietnam nemesis Jye Lane Taylor returns to the ring at the Star Centre in Sydney tonight.
It is the first time the "Fast Lane" has being sighted since June this year, when he knocked out Aussie Paul Roberts in impressive fashion.
Boxing fans will remember Victory8 Hanoi 2019, where Jye Lane Taylor put on a clinic against quality Vietnam team member Pham Duc Doan. Jye is one of the best prospects in Australian boxing, and everyone at VSP is wishing him lots of luck in tonight's battle with Manuer Matet.
Richard "the Beast" Pumicpic looks to ramp things up this coming March, after a quiet but successful 2021. Pumicpic stopped excellent local fighter Landy Cris Leon in May, and Leon subsequently had a win over Jhunriel Ramonal, consolidating the merit of the victory.
The Beast then travelled to the United States, and incurred a narrow loss at the hands of world top 20 Abraham Nova. Pumicpic had the hotshot Nova wobbled at various stages of the match, and no doubt this was a bout within the pinoy's grasp had it been taken on greater notice.
Richard the BEAST Pumicpic returns revamped in March 2022 and makes this simple pledge :
"YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! "
The handsome Philippines boxer is no other than "Mr. Heartthrob" Claude Van Sese here in Hanoi with the Vietnamese beauties. Sese came to Vietnam to participate in the famous Victory8 boxing event organized by VSP Boxing on Oct 19, 2019. The event drew over 25,000 spectators and over 50million views on social media. Sese faced Nguyen Van Gioi who is probably one of the best boxers in Vietnam who possesses speed and good ring strategy. You can catch all the action at VSP Promotions' YouTube Channel.
Boxing fans have had a frustrating wait, and for Virgel Vitor, it must seem like an eternity! The outstanding Bohol prodigy hasn't laced up the gloves since 2019, when he won by impressive KO as undercard to Mark Magsayo. But the big news breaking is that Vitor is set to make a return to the ring before the end of this year! It is expected that Virgel Vitor will join with a line up of pinoy boxing stars in what is shaping as the best fight card seen in recent years.
"Valiente" is one of the hottest prospects in the Philippines, having notched up 15 quick wins in a short career. Vitor was also selected to compete in the "World Team" at Victory 8 in Hanoi in 2019, along with Charly Suarez, Jenel Lausa and Claudevan Sese.
So, you are watching a boxing match and it is clear that Boxer A is getting his faced punched in by the Boxer B. After many rounds, the final bell rings and you are 100% certain that the Boxer B had won the fight but suddenly judges award the win to the Boxer A and you are left thinking "what just happened?". This post will shed some light as to how this could easily happen.
At VSP, we have our own boxing gym (VSP Boxing) where boxers under company management are trained for professional matches. We also have our own boxing promotions company (VSP Promotions). We even have our own boxing event brand called Victory8. What I am about to tell you is something which happens behind the curtains that may help you understand why some boxing matches end up favoring a boxer who you are quite sure lost the match.
To fully understand what happens, you need to put yourself in the shoe of the Boxer and his/her manager. the manager generally thinks that if the boxer has an "unbeaten" record, it will help him go up the rank. This achieves two objectives. It can lead to the manager asking more money for the boxer to fight from the promoter. Secondly, the manager is hoping that a streak of victorious matches will allow the boxer to fight for the championship title which can be quite lucrative. Depending on the country/region, a regional championship title can earn 5~10,000 USD while world title can be anywhere from 50,000~1,000,000 dollars earning per fight depending on many factors which I will post another time. So, if you are the manager for the boxer, you would think your job is to try to get the boxer to fight an opponent whom you are quite confident can be beaten. (This often leads to a terrible quality fight because it is lopsided match).
Promoter (that's us) is the company that organizes and pays for everything and everyone. Here, "everyone" includes the boxers, referees, and the judges. Now, what happens when boxers are managed by a company instead of an individual? And what if that company happens to also be the "Promoter" of an event in which those boxers fight?
Let's think about a situation whereVSP has organized a boxing event in Vietnam between our Vietnamese fighters and Thai fighters. To make the scoring "fair", VSP flies in referees & judges (R&J) from Japan, China, and the Philippines. The promoter would be paying for their flight tickets, their fees, hotel, meals, as well as transportation. Lobbying can start even before the R&J arrive in Vietnam.
How about this: The promoter upgrades the flights of R&J to a business class and personally picks them up from the airport. The promoter then put them in a nice hotel with complementary drinks and takes them out to good restaurants. There, he talks about how wonderful some of the boxers are in the event (our boxers of course). The promoter never once said who the judges should vote for but as you can see, the R&J may have started to develop a certain bias.
Did you know that R&J are often part time jobs for many? Imagine you are one of the judges invited to come to Vietnam. You are treated very well, paid well, and even taken around by the promoter for shopping. You know that some of the boxers in the event are managed by the promoter. Now, let's say the fight was a close fight, who would you favor? If you voted against the promoter's boxer, maybe you won't be invited in the next event. Perhaps your professionalism would be so solid that none of these treatments would affect your judgement but would you be able to say the same for all of your peers?
At VSP, we don't believe in setting up our boxers to win in a match. How would a boxer improve if he is fighting an opponent worse than him all the time? We think this is a remanent of the old ways. Instead, we match our fighters such that the spectators would enjoy watching! What is the point of putting up boring shit fights that nobody wants to watch? We tell all our boxers, "It is not our job to make you win. It is our job to give you worthy challengers that will push yourself to be better" The boxing world need to change and embrace a new paradigm where the focus should be putting up fights that are 50:50 and that leads to exciting fights that viewers can appreciate and thus drive more following.
Let's change the old ways and make Boxing Great Again!
"The Cobra" set to strike hard in early 2022 ! Southpaw stealth and savagery !
WBA Asia title
Charly Suarez v Roldan Aldea
Watch your step!
Michael Pengue has been a regular fixture at VSP and Victory8 events in Vietnam. The Aussie boxer was outstanding in his performances for the World team, so it gave us all at VSP a lot of gratification and pride when Pengue raised the WBC Australasian belt recently.
Mickey Pengue had way too few opportunities to showcase his skills since 2019, but his WBC win was a really staunch reminder of what this talented fighter is capable of when in form. Jorge Kapeen proved to be a quality opponent, and he was the measuring stick that qualified it was a great return for Pengue to grind out an emphatic unanimous win.
Pengue, who is trained by Tony Del Vecchio at the world famous Bondi Boxing Club, will now take a well earned break, before setting sights on some bigger opportunities in 2022.
Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai makes a dream come true for the rugged and too hard to tame pinoy Jino Rodrigo, who makes this special request:
"I WANT A VIETNAM FIGHTER!"
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez does more of the "Walk the Walk" when he tackles the outstanding Roldan Aldea for the WBA Asia title. Suarez has been on a rampaging path up the world rankings, and the non believers are becoming quieter and quieter! Be in zero doubt, SUAREZ is the Philippines BEST FIGHTER, so don't miss the chance to see an icon of the sport this March in Manila.
"The Rock" returned in ominous fashion scoring a stoppage with some thundering overhands at the Ultimate Knockout Challenge. Al Toyogan competed at 135, and while short in stature at that weight class, he certainly proved big on ability and POWER! It's worth remembering that Toyogan went the distance with world rated Jorge Linares only three fights ago, so he definitely lacks nothing in the class department.
This fighter has lots of upside, especially if he can drop to 130 in future bouts.
Bohol's Virgel Vitor and Palawan's Lorence Rosas' clash was high quality, and both boys signalled better things to come in the very near future.
Vitor put everyone on notice that he is one of the Philippines best young prospects with a superb welcome back performance. His work rate was high, and he was always asserting himself to create opportunities. He also looked way more imposing at this new weight of 130 pounds.
Southpaw Lorence Rosas looks to be rapidly returning to the fighter that gave Magic Mike Plania night tremors back in 2016. His classy performance against the bigger Vitor showcased an array of shots, combined with clever footwork and angles. Expect to see a breakout performance from Rosas when he returns to the lighter weight classes. Don't say you weren't told!
Lorenz Ladrada closes out the year having just engaged in a closely contested battle with the irrepressible Jason Buenaobra. The year proved busy for Bukidnon's Ladrada, who chalked up 4 wins and an SD loss to the promising Gary Tamayo. Flair and footwork were his travelling companions, and in 2022, expect to see more improvements to his repertoire.
Buenaobra was a revelation! He really toiled throughout this match, constantly taking Ladrada out of his comfort zone. He did such a great job, this smart southpaw was able to keep Ladrada on the backfoot for much of their quality bout. The effort of Jason Buenaobra was top class, and excited to see what he can deliver in 2022, especially if he drops to a more suitable weight class.
Another great pic from our friend Alvin Go!
Jason "Manefisto" Buenaobra brought the heat, and some nice technical tools to go with it, in a superb match up with Bukidnon's Lorenz Ladrada at UKC. Buenaobra pressed dangerously for all six rounds, and presented lots of problems for Ladrada from a constantly pivoting southpaw stance. It was an energetic display by Buenaobra, and one that fell just short on a hard to score bout. This was a great showing by Manefisto, who looks certain ask serious questions of rivals in future fights.
Vietnamese lightweight Nguyen Van Hai (2-0, 1 KO) has been challenged to fight dangerous Pinoy “The Silent Beast” Jino Rodrigo of Antipolo, Rizal in March; and the tough challenge has been accepted, said VSP Boxing Promotions earlier today.
The fight will fire up the ring as part of an exciting event in March in Manila, headlined by unbeaten hard-hitting Davaeño super featherweight “King’s Warrior” Charly Suarez (9-0, 6 KO’s). The Vietnamese 135-pounder Nguyen Van Hai has long been regarded as a excellent, experienced amateur fighter, although he hasn’t seen any action at all in 30 long months. Still, Hai has kept himself running, working out, sparring, and profusely sweating every day in the gym, with the mind set of “never giving up.”
As an amateur boxer, Nguyen Van Hai won the Vietnam national championships, and claimed medals in Asian Games in various weight-classes. But due to limited opportunities to battle as a pro, Nguyen Van Hai hasn’t fought much, currently being unbeaten in just 2 fights one of them he won by KO. That’s why, Nguyen Van Hai signed with VSP Boxing Promotions last year, in an attempt to kick off his pro boxing career, searching for a brighter future for his family.

MICHAEL PENGUE NOW A WBC CHAMP !
Big congratulation to one of the most popular boxers to compete in Vietnam at VSP events. Mickey Pengue was twice a World Team member at the big Victory8 shows, and Vietnam fighters commented that the style of Pengue was their favourite amongst the visiting team.Michael Pengue was part of a crack international squad that fought in Vietnam in late 2019, and included pinoys Charly Suarez, Jenel Lausa and Virgel Vitor.
Perhaps Vietnam’s best known female fighter, tam is a tall southpaw fighter with fast hands and feet. She is good in both attack and in counterpunching, and very skilled at drawing opponents in and landing her shots. Nguyen Thi Tam is an outstanding young prospect that still has lots of improvement, especially as a potential professional. There is no doubt that she can become a world class pro in the future.

John Lawrence Ordonio achieved a stoppage win over outstanding young talent Jules Victoriano at QUEST FOR GLORY. It was his first match back since 2020 for the man known as The Equalizer, and what he lacked in timing, he made up for with ring guile and power. It was a match that both fighters will derive plenty of improvement from, and word is strong that a rematch is looking a possibility. This was a great tussle between Ordonio and Victoriano - definitely worth seeing a "take two"!
