Jay Lloyd Quidlat made his professional debut in 2018, and in the space of a year, had already won 4 bouts performing in the Philippines, Japan and China. This win tally should realistically be extended to six , as Quidlat appeared to be the victim of some very dubious scoring in two drawn bouts. What were decidedly not dubious were his performances, where he consistently showed tight defences and pinpoint punching as his trademark.Two of his victims felt the brunt of this precision, falling to knockout at the hands of the Spark’s Boxing Gym boxer.
All this, and only 22 years of age!
The young man dubbed “The Storm” started his career in that perfectly named fashion, creating plenty of noise delivering two thunderous KO victories in his first two fights.
And he has looked nothing but impressive since. The fact that he has already tasted international experience is testament to his potential, and helps to put an “old head on young shoulders”.
Originally hailing from Iligan City in Lanao del Norte, Quidlat now trains at Paranaque. Being based in Manila, the promising fighter has been given access to top sparring and the ability to compete in local events. The exciting aspect of Quidlat’s career thus far is that he has shown constant improvement in each bout – constant progression!
Coming event will be put to the test, when he jumps in class to meet one of Philippines’ best super featherweight boxers in Arnel Baconaje. It is a huge assignment for Quidlat, but as he has looked so comfortable in all his previous bouts, it’s very possible that he will feel right at home against a better performed opponent. It will be an interesting contrast of styles also, as Baconaje shoots from a southpaw stance. It is notable that Lay Lloyd Quidlat looked estremely effective against a quality Japanese southpaw in Ryo Nakai, often picking him off with laser like counters. Both Baconaje and Quidlat have not fought since 2019, so that statistic certainly adds an additional layer of mystery to what should be an intriguing and high quality contest.
Arnel Baconaje experience versus the youthful exuberance and potential of Jay Lloyd Quidlat – definitely a fight not to be missed, and a fight where the boy from Iligan City will be out to
Bacolod's Genesis Servania will fight China's rising star Aketelieti Yelejian for the WBO Asia Lightweight title this November.
The highly-anticipated match up will take place on the undercard of the IBF world title fight between Pedro Taduran and Zhu DianXing at Jeju Island, South Korea.
Aketelieti Yelejian, who suffered a narrow loss to the Prince Albert Pagara in June, rebounded with an impressive IBF Asia victory against Korean Jin Su Kim in Vietnam recently. He is a very rangy and deceptive boxer known for his relaxed combinations, and he's supremely confident in his ability to take down Servania and claim the title.
"I've studied Servania's style, and I know I have the skills to outmaneuver him," Yelejian said yesterday.
"I'm excited to represent China on the international stage once more, and bring home an impressive win against a top and proven boxer like Genesis."
Servania, a seasoned veteran with a 35-4 record, boasts a reputation for toughness that has come from battles at the top level. And has still possesses some of the best body shots in the sport of boxing.
This important title shot gives the filipino the opportunity to re-establish himself on the world scene once more, and it's best remembered that his only defeats have came against world-ranked champions like Oscar Valdez and Andres Cortes.
But the China team have already confidently stated that Yelejian's youth, speed, height, and reach may all prove too much for the Filipino boxer.
Their optimism also exudes for the world title bout, where surprisingly, they are quite dismissive of Pedro Taduran's hopes of beating star Zhu DianXing. They actually rate their boxer so highly, they have predicted that the champion has no chance of retaining the belt.
These claims set up an intriguing backdrop for two massive Philippines v China feature bouts.
