Jetro Pabustan is one of the most experienced fighters appearing at the Fortunes of War in Ho Tram. The clever southpaw is known as the Silent Operator, and when you watch him at work, it’s no surprise that this technician has racked up 31 wins in his career so far. With a professional resume dating back to 2008, Pabustan suffered only one defeat in his first 29 bouts, an amazing feat considering he was fighting everyone!
The Silent Operator hails from Malapatan , Sarangani, but has fought for most of his career based in Cagayan de Oro. A talented southpaw from the start, his style has always been steeped in good fundamentals – touch jabs, deft counters, and point scoring against opponents that get a bit ragged. This template saw him get to a WBO world bantamweight title in 2016, one that he unfortunately lost to the legendary Thai Panya Uthok by technical decision. Ironically, this title was later avenged by another quality pinoy named Marlon Tapales. The very next year, Jetro Pabustan ventured to Japan to claim the WBO Asia Pacific title, accounting for the highly rated Tatsuya Takahashi. When it appeared that his career was in another upswing, the talented CDO fighter seemingly vanished from the landscape, fighting only three times in the next 3 years.
The Silent Operator resumed in May to beat the outstanding and dangerous Bryan Tamayo in Manila. He followed that effort with a last moment trip to the United States to take on the world top 20 fighter Tramaine Williams. Whilst being on the receiving end of a narrow loss, many that watched this fight were convinced that Pabustan had done enough to get his hand raised.
Vietnam - here we come !
The Yap Attack and Head Coach Jetro Pabustan are headed to Ho Tram Vietnam this July, as they look to reinforce the stocks of Mark John Yap on the world scene.
It is expected that the Philippines star will appear on an all international event, and will fight a young top rated fighter from the Middle East.
Familiar faces to VSP followers, Nguyễn Văn Hải and Junior Kauko Raka, will also compete on the Cocky Buffalo show.
Mark John Yap will return to Manila from CDO for sparring in 10 days time, on the back of an impressive exhibition performance in Ho Chi Minh City late last month.
More news breaking soon.
Boxer and master trainer Jetro Pabustan has his charges fit and ready to rumble, for what will be some great fight events, starting this Saturday at the Mauway Gym in Mandaluyong City.
Clarence Breboneria (pictured right) takes on the unbeaten Bryl Bayogos this Saturday, where the main event sees world top 30 Judy Flores pitched against the Predator Jerald Paclar.
But if you want to see "El Cazador" in action - that being the Ferocious Fernando Tagpuno Jr, you will need to wait another week !
Tagpuno appears on a great card scheduled for June 17th.
Jetro "the Silent Operator" Pabustan is looking sharp and ready to start the new year with a "BANG BANG" this month in Manila.
Jetro, a former regional belt holder and WBO world title contender, is working overtime and looking towards bigger opportunities in 2023.
"I know I can be a champion again, and I would love to get the chance to fight for a world strap once more.
I truly believe I am a better and stronger boxer than I was before. In 2O23, if any good offer comes I will be ready!"

Sunday January 30th
Jetro Pabustan is the latest to lend his consummate fight talents to the Revolution event in Manila this January 30.
The high level Mindanao southpaw is eyeing off international challenges this year, and is well qualified to do so. A winner of 31 bouts, the Silent Operator has the distinction of being a regional belt winner and also WBO world title contender. Pabustan had two foreign assignments last year, and performed admirably in both.
In August, he dropped a highly debated points decision in the States to the top level Tramaine Williams, in a match where he appeared to outwork and outland the American.
More recently, Pabustan competed in an exhibition bout in Vietnam against cult fugure Le Hoang Hiep, and in a really entertaining contest, he looked good in the unfamiliar four round format.
Jetro Pabustan was last seen in Manila winning against top prospect Brian Tamayo, and it will be great to see him kick off his 2O23 campaign on the classy Revolution card on January 30th.
REVOLUTION full fight card announcement coming soon.
Mindanao's Jetro Pabustan will kick start his 2023 campaign with a Manila bout on January 30.
The Silent Operator has made no secret of his ambitions to work toward a title fight again, and is working hard to get the year started on the right foot.
Jetro Pabustan recently competed in Vietnam against local cult boxer Le Hoang Hiep, so is sure to embrace the new year in career best shape.

FIGHT 2: Jetro Pabustan v Le Hoang Hiep
LE HOANG HIEP Debut
22 yrs old / Orthodox / Young Blood / 162cm / 55kg Super Bantamweight
Nam Dinh, Vietnam / Matrix Boxing HCMC
Young Blood, Thug Life, Saigon Psycho, Street Vigga - Russian born Hiep goes by many names, but they all point to a central truth. This young Viet is equal parts crazy brave and crazy mad ! But he can fight too !
Competing with grown men in amateur tournaments when just a teen, Le Hoang Hiep showed loads of potential, but unfortunately the pandemic and the closure of all Vietnam gyms halted that potential growth. Temporarily at least !
VSP put out advertisements looking for young Viet prospects looking to gain experience against visiting pros, and Hiep was one of the very first to respond. Despite being only a true 51kg Flyweight, Hiep begged for the Bantamweight clash with Philippines Jetro Pabustan.
“Get me that bitch Pabustan, he will be mine”!. And so the job was awarded to Hiep !
Prior to the pandemic, Le Hoang Hiep showed that he has the makings of a good pro.
He boasts plenty of speed and power, and he also showed good timing in high level amateur bouts that he contested. And the guy is super tough.!
If there was to be a query on Hiep in this bout, it would be to do with his jump of three weight classes and his ability to maintain workrate against the heavier Philippines boxer. Pabustan.is well known for his fitness, and as Hiep only commenced training recently, 4 rounds will seem an eternity against the bigger Jetro Pabustan.
JETRO PABUSTAN 31 wins
32 yrs old / Southpaw / Silent Operator / 168cm / 55kg Super Bantamweight

Jetro Pabustan will look to erase that disappointment and make an emphatic statement here in Vietnam.
Saigon street cred meets the boxing ring !
Le Hoang Hiep aka thug life aka young blood returns to boxing FINALLY after a pandemic enforced holiday.
This kid was only a teenager beating up on grown men before Vietnam closed down in 2020, and when he heard Jetro Pabustan was coming in December, he begged for the assignment.
"But Hiep, Pabustan is an internationally performed and dangerous professional. He's won 31 fights, won regional titles, and even fought in a WBO World Championship. And to make things worse, he's two or three weight classes up above you !"
Young Blood responded :
"I don't care who it is.
Tell that mtfk I just wanna punch on ! Young Blood will fight anyone if the dollars are there!"
Enough said !

Philippines have a strong representation in Vietnam on December 10, and Jetro Pabustan will take on the feisty Le Hoang Hiep in what is destined to be a crazy action packed fight at the beachside resort of The Grand HoTram. The Vietnam boxer has a reputation as being unhinged, and in spite of jumping two weight classes, is confident that he can handle the much bigger pinoy boxer.
But for the well traveled Pabustan, he's seen and heard it all before !

The Fortunes of War event brings together many of Asia's best fighters for the very first time, and will host three title matches sanctioned by the IBF and WBO.

Congratulations

THE GRAND HO TRAM JUST GOT HOTTER !!!
Saturday December 10 Fortunes of War !
December is the month where all the best known boxers in Vietnam will head to Hanoi to compete in the national sports championships.
So how do you find Vietnam prospects that are willing to fight, when all the best known boxers have headed north for the festival?
VSP Promotions recently advertised that three of the Philippines top professional fighters will come to VSP Gym next month, and are also offering to participate in 4 round bouts at Ho Tram on December 10 against any Vietnam boxer brave enough to put their hand up!
So the call from VSP went out :
"We are looking for Vietnam Tigers who are willing to jump in with these professional killers from the Philippines - JonJon Estrada, Mark John Yap and Jetro Pabustan."
We had so many that wanted to test themselves, and despite their lack of experience, there were three brave Vietnam boys who's enthusiasm and appetite for adventure shone through.
Le Hoang Hiep was one of the most fearless, and he begged for the match with Jetro Pabustan. Despite being a 51kg Flyweight and devoid of recent fights, the 22 year old Gorilla was desperate for action, and said "I'll start training from today if you give me a shot at the Silent Operator!"
And so the match was made, "Young Blood" Le Hoang Hiep will have his date with destiny when he meets Jetro Pabustan at The Grand Ho Tram Vietnam on December 10.
Congratulations
young man, but a word of warning, be careful of what you wish for.
As they say SILENCE IS GOLDEN!
Who said blondes have more fun ?
Pinoy power is heading to Vietnam.
And it's SMILE POWER!
We got Mark John Yap, Jetro Pabustan, Charly Suarez, Arnel Baconaje and da baddest of da baddest "the Wolverine" JonJon Estrada!!!!
THE GRAND HO TRAM STRIP VIETNAM
Saturday December 10th
Congratulations to the Philippines fighters that will be competing at the Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam on Saturday December 10. Arnel Baconaje and Charly will contest IBF titles in two of the main event matches.
Baconaje will take on incumbent lightweight champion Dinh Hong Quan, a Vietnam fighter that has recent history with pinoys Delmar Pellio and Jules Victoriano. Charly Suarez is expected to have a confirmed opponent soon.
The Journeyman Mark John Yap is in training in Manila, and has promised to be at his destructive best this month when he contests the main undercard match prior to the giant Charly Suarez v Carlo Magali clash.
Yap is slated to fight Papua New Guinea's premier boxer Junior Kauko Raka, and is philosophical, despite suffering 4 losses on the trot. But the defeats need to be examined more closely and put in perspective !
Three of these losses were at the hands of top class unbeaten foreign opponents, where matching was done at the very last moment to ensure making weight would prove extremely difficult. Nonetheless, Yap produced really good touches in each of these bouts, and actually dropped the unbeaten Cuban Jadier Hererra whilst incurring a points loss.
Mark John Yap prepared in the altitude of Baguio prior to his August stoush with Charly Suarez, and the hard work showed. It was an impressive performance by the Journeyman, and it is really doubtful that any local other than the freakish Suarez could have repelled him that day.
Yap did his early preparation in Cagayan de Oro for his date with Raka, and is now in Manila being mentored by Elorde's Jetro Pabustan. He has a pragmatic view on his impending battle:
“If I’ll have the opportunity to knock him out, then I’ll knock him out,” said Yap.
“If he’s tough, then I’ll try to do my best and dominate him.”
If he's tough ? Well, one thing we know about the PNG Prodigy Junior Raka is that he's carved from granite, and has skills, so this should be a thriller !
And for the Journeyman, you just know that this international star will produce something special this month and even more, the best is yet to come !

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

Paul Fleming is arguably the most talented fighter that Australia has ever produced, and he carried an unbeaten record of 28-0 to the ring when he recently took on Charly Suarez in Sydney.
The Aussie champ put four titles on the line, and a world title eliminator was also up for grabs.
In what was a cracking contest, Fleming brought all his trademark energy and flair. The man known as "Showtime" is renowned for making great fights, his previous effort having been voted Australia's best of the year in 2022.
Suarez waits for notification from the Fleming team as to whether they wish to option a rematch clause in their contract.
The Hanoi Hitman Nguyễn Văn Hải is back April 22nd at Vung Tau !!
Philippines Romeo Tenorio will also appear on this card at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino.
This is a clip from last year in Manila, where Hai took on hot unbeaten Lightweight prospect Jerald Into.
It was the Vietnam boxer's first time to see a boxing ring in more than 2 years, but it turned out to be a quality bout.
Hai has won both follow up engagements since this match, and is now 4-1 in the pro ranks.
Davao boxer Romeo "Yong" Tenorio is set to make a surprise ring return on April 22nd in Vietnam against a South Korean opponent.
Tenorio has been called in at late notice to battle Gun Kim, a young boxer with a 2 win and 1 loss record. The promising Korean had his original combatant succumb to injury, and Romeo has answered the call.
Yong was starting to put it together in the pro ranks, winning 4 of his last 5 bouts prior to a three year break courtesy of the pandemic. But he resumed in promising fashion in October 2022, beating Julius Bala by unanimous decision, and will be looking to impress in his foreign debut later this month.
Romeo Tenorio will fight Gun Kim at the Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on Saturday April 22nd.
Vietnam's Nguyễn Văn Hải and the Philippines Romeo Tenorio take on international opponents at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on April 22nd.
DUONG TO BATTLE PHILIPPINES CHAMP ?
Vietnam's premier fighter Nguyễn Văn Duong hasn't seen much ring time since the Olympics, and will make a return for the SEA Games in early May. But his lack of recent competition has many wondering if the Bac Ninh boxer still has what it takes to fight at the highest level.
Philippines champion Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam in May for a training camp, and former 3X OPBF titleholder is open to working with the local talent while he is here.
A winner of 32 professional fights, Yap tore the heart out of Japan's feared Bantamweight division, going unbeaten in 10 fights over a 3 year period. His most recent fight was in January of this year, where he jumped two weight classes and knocked out former Manny Pacquiao sparring mate Leonardo Doronio.
Asked whether he would be open to an exhibition bout whilst he is in Vietnam, potentially against a killer like Nguyễn Văn Duong, the Philippines star smiled and said :
" Sure, why not, it sounds like a lot of fun ! Let's make it happen !! "
Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.
Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.
The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.
Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic, so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.
The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.
Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.
Ben Ligas put on a masterful boxing display in Pangasinan yesterday to keep the RP National Flyweight title in his grasp.
"The Sniper" took on the outstanding Genisis Libranza, a winner of 20 of 21 bouts, and he didn't disappoint.
Libranza threw hard questions at Ben Ligas from the opening bell, but a cool head and excellent shot selection by the incumbent champ was enough to secure a unanimous decision in the eyes of the judges.
Ligas is pictured post fight with top bantamweight and coach Jetro Pabustan.
HERE ARE THE WINNERS
Happy Fiesta guys - and a great way to start hosting some of the Philippines best young fighters and letting them showcase their talents today.
Amateurs start around 8.30am, and the Pros do there thing from 1 pm.

Good luck all fighters!
Cracking card in Pangasinan tomorrow, highlighted even more so by this blistering main event - "the Sniper" Ben Ligas versus "the Cobra" Genisis Libranza.
Ligas is current national Flyweight champ with a 14-3 record, and takes on Libranza who has the amazing stats of 20-1.
Nobody is ducking anybody here !
Great main event for Pangasinan.
What a fight !!
A lot of people are really looking forward to this main undercard match between unbeaten hotshot Jonniel Laurente and the vastly experienced Pablito Canada.
VSP have a huge opinion of Canada, who has always stepped up at late notice and performed great against the very best fighters in the Philippines. Pablito Canada endorsed our opinion when he traveled to the General Santos City base of unbeaten star Michael Casama, and handed him his first loss by way of stunning KO.
There is no doubt that JL Laurente has a lot of potential, but the question remains, has he taken on too much top early by stepping in with the way more experienced Pablito Canada ??
Expect this to be one of the best fights all day !!
Catch all the action from last weekend's VSP PRO, and the best of the Philippines and Vietnam Boxing talent at VSP PROMOTIONS YouTube
Two days to go !!
Lots of great fights in Pangasinan this Thursday, but especially excited for these main three.
Benny Ligas and Genisis Libranza have genuine claims to being the Philippines best Flyweight, as their records attest. This one is impossible to pick the winner with any confidence.
Jonniel Laurente is unbeaten, but he jumps hugely in class when he meets Pablito Canada, a guy that has delivered great performances at the very highest level. Canada has been in with JonJon Estrada, Richard Pumicpic and no less than Charly Suarez in recent bouts. And let's not forget that he also had a huge KO win over top unbeaten prospect Michael Casama not long ago - so this is a huge task for Laurente and one that will be a fantastic contest.
RoyRoy Sumugat and Richard Bulacan are two of the Philippines very best when they are "on", and be in zero doubt, both these guys will be prepped for killer performances this Thursday in Pangasinan.
Trần Quang Lộc thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Bùi Việt Hoàng tại hạng cân 61kg
Màn so găng hấp dẫn từ hai võ sỹ đã giành thành tích tốt ở giải trẻ quốc gia và đặc biệt đến từ hai đội boxing kình địch là Hà Nội và Quân đội. Đây cũng là trận đấu cuối của sự kiện VSP Pro 3 và hai võ sỹ đã mang đến bầu không khí phấn khích khi chủ động nhập cuộc tích cực và liên tục trao đổi đòn.
Tốc độ, lối di chuyển linh hoạt và cách tung ra combo đòn 1-2 đặc trưng là lợi thế của Quang Lộc. Trong khi đó Việt Hoàng cho thấy sự chủ động trong tiếp cận, duy trì cự ly áp sát và tung ra những đòn đấm vòng bằng cả hai tay đạt độ chuẩn xác cao.
Cả 3 hiệp đầu thế trận không hoàn toàn nghiêng về tay đấm nào. Tốc độ cực nhanh cùng những màn trao đổi đòn liên tụ của hai võ sỹ khiến khán giả hưng phấn. Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng Việt Hoàng phần nào ghi điểm với 2 tình huống đấm móc trúng đích lợi hại. Những bước di chuyển ngẫu hứng trước khi ra đòn của Việt Hoàng cũng khiến Quang Lộc khó phán đoán để phòng thủ tốt.
Khép lại một trận đấu căng thẳng, màn công bố kết quả cũng "nóng" không kém khi Quang Lộc được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm cao hơn và đồng nghĩa với chiến thắng đồng thuận cho tay đấm trẻ của Quân Đội. Kết quả này rõ ràng đã khiến Việt Hoàng và BHL Hanoi Boxing Academy ngạc nhiên. Đáng tiếc cho Việt Hoàng bởi ở sự kiện VSP Pro 2 anh cũng đã thi đấu tốt nhưng chỉ có 1 kết quả hòa đồng thuận trước Phan Minh Quân.
63,5kg: Nguyễn Văn Hải thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận trước Hà Minh TuấnTrận so găng thú vị giữa những tay đấm ở hai thế hệ. Nguyễn Văn Hải là tay đấm cựu trào từng vô địch quốc gia nhiều năm và giành huy chương quốc tế. Còn Hà Minh Tuấn đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy từng giành HCB giải các CLB, HCV giải trẻ và thắng 1 trận ở sự kiện VSP Pro.Trận đấu này rất được chờ đợi nhưng thực tế trên ring Văn Hải đã nhanh chóng tỏ rõ bản lĩnh kinh nghiệm dày dạn và sức nặng cú đấm vượt trội đàn em. Một đòn đấm vòng tay phải uy lực của Văn Hải và serie đòn ngay sau đó tưởng như đã kết liễu trận đấu ngay trong hiệp 1.Cũng phải dành cho Minh Tuấn lời khen khi tay đấm trẻ từ Hà Nội đã trụ vững thêm 2 hiệp đấu dù bị đàn anh dồn ép và liên tục hứng đòn từ những cú móc, jab và body-shot như búa bổ của Văn Hải. Bước sang hiệp cuối cùng, Minh Tuấn có thêm 2 tình huống jab và đấm vòng ấn tượng, nhưng sự chênh lệch vẫn nghiêng hẳn về Văn Hải.Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho tay đấm 35 tuổi Văn Hải. Theo tiết lộ ở cuộc phỏng vấn sau trận, Văn Hải sẽ nỗ lực tập luyện để chuẩn bị cho 1 trận tranh đai vô địch vào cuối năm nay.
Huỳnh Thị Vũ Duyên có chiến thắng trước Hoàng Thùy Linh trong trận đấu nữ duy nhất tại VSP Pro 3
Huỳnh Duyên nhập cuộc chủ động, tích cực ra đòn và cũng đạt hiệu quả tốt hơn hẳn võ sỹ trẻ 17 tuổi Thùy Linh đến từ Hanoi Boxing Academy. Những combo đòn 1-2 và đòn đấm móc của Huỳnh Duyên giúp cô ghi điểm. Ngược lại, Thùy Linh dù sở hữu chiều cao tốt 1,7m nhưng tỏ ra chậm chạp và ra đòn thiếu hiệu quả.
Bước sang hiệp 2 Thùy Linh chủ động tạo ra sức ép khi tiếp cận và liên tục ra combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay. Tuy vậy, độ sát thương không đạt mấy hiệu quả khi Huỳnh Duyên phòng thủ tốt. Thậm chí tổ hợp đòn chuẩn xác của Huỳnh Duyên còn giúp cô ghi điểm cuối hiệp. Rõ ràng, tay đấm từng giành HCV Cup CLB, HCV giải trẻ, Huỳnh Duyên vẫn vượt trội.
Kịch bản trận đấu không thay đổi ở những hiệp còn lại khi Huỳnh Duyên với sự linh hoạt trong di chuyển và kết hợp combo đòn tốt hơn tiếp tục ghi điểm với những cú đấm nặng ký chuẩn xác. Kết thắng điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Huỳnh Duyên trước Thùy Linh, tay đấm từng giành HCĐ giải trẻ 2020 là hoàn toàn thuyết phục.
Võ Lê Trung Long thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Quí Thịnh tại hạng 63,5 kg sự kiện VSP Pro 3
Trung Long bắt đầu bằng những cú jab tay trái cực nhanh và sau đó là combo đòn đấm móc suýt chút nữa đã tạo ra khác biệt. Tuy vậy, tay đấm Quý Thịnh cũng rất biết cách phản đòn khi bị đối thủ dồn ép. Hiệp 1 cả hai võ sỹ đều tích cực ra đòn nhưng sự vượt trội rất khó phân định.
Bước sang hiệp 2, Trung Long bắt đầu tỏ rõ sự nhỉnh hơn. Combo đòn đấm móc bằng cả hai tay và cú jab của tay đấm này khiến Quý Thịnh dính những đòn nặng nề. Thế nên dù có 1 tình huống phản đòn hiệu quả thì hiệp đấu này Quý Thịnh vẫn lép vế thấy rõ.
Khá bất ngờ khi hiệp 3 Trung Long dính vết cắt nhỏ bị chảy máu ở đuôi mắt phải. Ở hiệp đấu này dù không vượt trội nhưng Quý Thịnh lại tạo ra 3 tình huống ra đòn tay sau hiệu quả. Trong khi đó Trung Long sau nửa đầu hiệp phần nào bị ảnh hưởng bởi vết rách ở đuôi mắt đã tìm lại nhịp thi đấu và có 1 cú jab hiệu quả ở nửa cuối hiệp.
Sang hiệp đấu cuối cùng Quý Thịnh xuống sức thấy rõ, anh gần như không có đòn nào hiệu quả. Ngược lại tay đấm từ Bình Dương boxing team, Trung Long đã tìm lại được sự kiểm soát như 2 hiệp đầu và tung ra những đòn đấm móc cực nặng. Ở những giây cuối cùng Quý Thịnh chỉ còn biết chống đỡ hoặc chủ động giữ khoảng cách né đòn. May mắn cho tay đấm đến Manny Boxing Cần Thơ khi anh tránh được kết quả bị knock-down.
Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận (3-0) cho Trung Long hoàn toàn xứng đáng.
Thái Hoàng Huy gây ấn tượng ở VSP Pro 2 với chiến thắng TKO, nhưng đối thủ tối nay của anh là võ sỹ kỳ cựu 34 tuổi từng tập nhiều môn võ và đã thi đấu ở giải võ thuật tổng hợp Lion Championship 2022, Vũ Văn Hải. Lối di chuyển khá ngẫu hứng và combo trả đòn bằng những cú đấm móc và đấm vòng của Văn Hải khiến Hoàng Huy rất khó tiếp cận và thậm chí còn dính đòn.
Hiệp 2 mọi thứ trở nên tốt hơn cho Hoàng Huy khi anh có 1 cú phản đòn tay sau và 1 cú đấm vòng chuẩn xác. Dù có phần ức chế vì lối di chuyển và động tác khiêu khích từ Văn Hải nhưng rõ ràng Hoàng Huy đạt hiệu quả ra đòn tốt hơn ở hiệp đấu này.
Tình huống đáng chú ý ở hiệp 3 đó là Văn Hải chủ động khiêu khích, nhưng anh lại hớ hênh hạ cả hai tay thõng xuống và nhanh chóng dính combo đòn của Hoàng Huy. Ở hiệp đấu này Văn Hải tiếp tục bị trọng tài nhắc nhở thái độ thi đấu cũng như ra đòn phạm quy khi dùng mu bàn tay. Cả hai đều có thêm những cú đấm móc thành công, nhưng không ai tỏ ra vượt trội ở hiệp này.
Ở hiệp đấu cuối cùng Hoàng Huy ghi thêm điểm với 1 tình huống jab hiệu quả, nhưng võ sỹ trẻ này cũng tỏ rõ sự ức chế và quá khích trước lối đánh của đối thủ. Thêm một hiệp đấu không có đột biến và kết quả cũng mang đến sự bất ngờ đôi chút khi Văn Hải thắng điểm không đồng thuận (2-1). Đây là chiến thắng đầu tiên của Vũ Văn Hải trên sàn boxing pro.
Nguyễn Hoàng Thắng thắng điểm đồng thuận trước Nguyễn Thành Phong ở hạng 67kg VSP Pro 3.
Thành Phong tiếp cận chủ động và có đòn đấm móc hiệu quả trong hiệp 1, nhưng Hoàng Thắng cũng rất nhanh tìm cách điều chỉnh cự ly khoảng cách để giảm sự hưng phấn cũng như sự nguy hiểm từ đối thủ.
Hiệp đấu thứ 2 không có nhiều đột biến mà tốc độ của trận đấu chỉ được đẩy lên cao ở hiệp 3 với những pha chủ động ra đòn của Hoàng Thắng. Tay đấm đến từ Hà Nội từng vô địch giải Boxing trẻ và giải CLB quốc gia đã phần nào cho thấy kinh nghiệm bằng những tình huống di chuyển hiệu quả và tung ra những đòn đấm móc chất lượng.
Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng ưu thế nghiêng rõ rệt hơn về Hoàng Thắng. Một trong số những cú đấm móc uy lực của Hoàng Thắng đã khiến Thành Phong dính đòn khá nặng. Nỗ lực dồn ép và ra đòn của Thành Phong giảm rõ rệt sự hiệu quả vì thiếu sự đột biến và bị đối thủ bắt bài..
Chung cuộc Hoàng Thắng được cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm nhỉnh hơn và thắng tuyệt đối trước Thành Phong.
Trần Tấn Quang Đạo đã có chiến thắng đồng thuận trước Trần Ngọc Phương Hiếu trong trận mở màn VSP Pro 3.
Đòn tay sau, đấm móc, và cả những cú body-shot của Quang Đạo tiếp tục đạt hiệu quả cực tốt. Không ngạc nhiên khi võ sỹ kinh nghiệm hơn, tuân thủ tốt chiến thuật của BHL đã giành chiến thắng với điểm số tuyệt đối 3-0. Xin chúc mừng Trần Tấn Quang Đạo với chiến thắng đầu tiên trên sàn Boxing Pro, sau 3 lần thượng đài

On March 25th, Ho Chi Minh City will once again host the highly anticipated professional boxing event, VSP PRO 3. This will be the third installment of the series, which has already gained a reputation for showcasing some of the most talented boxers in the country.
The event will feature both returning boxers who are looking to continue their professional careers, as well as debut fighters who are eager to make their mark in the sport. VSP PRO 2, which took place last month, was a thrilling event that left fans eagerly anticipating the next installment.
Boxing fans can expect a night of intense action and skillful displays of athleticism, as some of the most promising boxers in Vietnam take to the ring.
The event will be held at a VSP Boxing Gym in Ho Chi Minh City, and tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Fans who are unable to attend the event in person can still catch the action via live on VTV Cab and Youtube.
Overall, VSP PRO 3 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with an impressive lineup of talented boxers set to take center stage. Boxing enthusiasts and sports fans alike should not miss this opportunity to witness some of the most skilled fighters in Vietnam compete in the ring.
Vietnam has recently seen the emergence of some great fighters, and Nguyen Van Hai is undoubtedly one of the greatest among them. The "Hanoi Hitman" is set to grace the ring once again, this time at VSP PRO #3 in HCMC. Fans are eagerly waiting for his showdown with promising young northern boxer Ha Minh Tuan, who has already made a mark with an impressive debut win in February at VSP PRO #2.
Nguyen Van Hai is a force to be reckoned with, and his appearance at Fortunes of War in Ho Tram last December was a testament to that fact. In a dominating performance, stopping unbeaten Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan.
It's not just his impressive win record that makes him stand out, but his boxing skills and style that sets him apart from the rest. He has a deadly combination of speed, agility, and power that make him a dangerous opponent for anyone who dares to face him in the ring.
His upcoming bout at VSP PRO is a testament to his dedication and hard work. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action once again, and with his impressive track record, it's hard not to feel excited.
Nguyen Van Hai is a true icon in the world of Vietnamese boxing, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.
VSP boxers Charly Suarez and Nguyễn Văn Hải are arguably the best fighters that their respective countries have ever produced.
The two are friends from their days as national team amateurs, and they even fought in an exhibition mstch at Victory8 in Hanoi in 2019.
Last night in Sydney, Charly Suarez moved a step closer to his world title dream with a knockout win over Australian Paul "Showtime" Fleming, an unbeaten star unbeaten in 28 fights.
Nguyễn Văn Hải is rapidly climbing in the professional ranks also. The "Hanoi Hitman" has 3 wins, and will be looking to add to his tally at VSP PRO on Saturday March 25th.
SUAREZ CAPTURES FOUR BELTS
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez has just walked in to Kevin Betts Stadium in Sydney.
Suarez v Fleming coming soon!
*story courtesy of Manila Standard
Former Olympian Charly Suarez has vowed to go all out against fellow undefeated Paul Fleming of Australia in their International Boxing Organization super featherweight title bout on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.
"Pambihira lang itong ganitong pagkakataon. Ito na talaga chance ko,” said Suarez, who at 34 cannot afford to be delayed any longer in his quest for a world boxing title. “Ang totoo kong kalaban is sarili ko. Kahit saang larangan, malaking part ‘yung maturity. Iba ka nang mag-isip kaysa dati.”
“Basta ako lalaban ako at dapat makuha ko ito. Ito na ‘yung level ng mindset ko ngayon. ‘Di ko na pakakawalan, wala ng excuse,” added Suarez, a former Filipino Olympian, who spent most of his boxing career as a national athlete.
After beating all his first 14 opponents, eight of them via stoppage, Suarez is facing his toughest test in his two-year professional boxing career—a taller foe, who has 29 wins with 18 knockouts and without a defeat.
Suarez’s manager and coach Delfin Boholst said they have done everything in their training camp to make Charly stronger than ever.
“Makikita natin si Charly may edad na pero, ‘yung body niya sariwa. Sa laban makikita niyo talaga ‘yung ginawa namin na preparation ni Charly,” he said.
Without the backing of a moneyed manager and promoter, Suarez’s camp turned to friends and supporters for their needs. Some of those who answered their plea for support were former Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas and businessman-philanthropist Edward Aguilar.
Sinas and Aguilar, who are close friends and partners in several business ventures, provided financial support for training and other needs of Suarez.
Suarez is coming off a big conquest of the International Boxing Federation Asia junior lightweight title with a technical knockout win over Defry Palulu of Indonesia at the Grand Ho Tram Hotel in Vietnam last Dec. 10.
Two months earlier, the many-time Southeast Asian Games champion decisioned compatriot Carlo Magali to successfully defend the World Boxing Association Asia Super Featherweight title.
As an amateur, Suarez won three Southeast Asian Games golds—two in the lightweight division (2011 Jakarta, 2019 Manila) and one in the featherweight category (2009 Laos)—plus a bronze in 2017 in Kuala Lumpur.
Meanwhile, the left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez as he has set a fight strategy that suits him against a smaller opponent.
“If Suarez comes at me, I have a counter-punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him,” the Australian said.
SUAREZ FLEMING Media Day
Shirts off, smiles all around as the Philippines Charly Suarez and Aussie Paul Fleming meet for the first time today in Sydney.
story courtesy BoxingTalk.com
Australia’s undefeated indigenous boxer Paul Fleming is on a mission to win his next three fights and set up the opportunity to capture a 130-pound title. After years of low activity (three fights since the start of 2019), Fleming's next step takes place in St. Marys, Sydney on March 15th when he faces undefeated Filipino challenger Charly Suarez. Fleming comes from the small town of Tully in outback northern Australia where he first started boxing at age 12 in 2001.
Fleming (29-0-1) finds himself carrying on the tradition of past Australian indigenous boxers such as Aboriginal boxing legend Lionel Rose who unified the world titles (1964-76), superstar rugby league players and champions of the boxing ring Tony Mundine and his son Anthony Mundine Jr., Dave Sands inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame as “the greatest boxers never to have won a world title”, 2005 world champion Robert Peden, Wally Carr, who competed in six divisions over a stellar fifteen-year career, and Daniel Geale who won two titles before losing to Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square in 2014.
While Fleming takes confidence from his unbeaten streak, he accepts as “a matter of fact” that he has been ignored on the international stage. “By now I should have become a world champion. I see it as the way of the boxing world, and the cards didn’t fall my way. But I feel my destiny is in the winning circle, as the coming world champion.“
As for Suarez (14-0), Fleming says, “Suarez, like me, hasn’t been beaten. This is where our paths come together – here in Sydney – and I am ready.”
The left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez, who is 34 years old and almost 4 inches shorter in size. “All my fights have been about fighting with a winning strategy,” he asserts. “If Suarez comes at me I have a counter punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him.”
Fleming has spent several months sparring with top Aussies, including the Maloney brothers. “Neither of us held back while sparring.” he said after some competitive rounds with Andrew Moloney.
But Fleming knows that the window is closing for him to win a world title. "What’s been so good for me in boxing is that I have not been beaten, not once. I haven’t been bashed, and I have gained a lot of experience. I’ve fought against the best in Australia and now it’s time to break out and take on the best in the world... after this the world title will be one big step closer.”
Set to be Australia's very best fight of 2023.
The match up of the Philippines and Australia's two unbeaten champions.

The Hanoi Hitman returns to the ring later this month at VSP Gym in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.
Despite a wealth of various fight form experience, Hai is a relative newcomer to professional boxing.
He ventured to Manila in August 2022, and showed lots of ring rust when outpointed by the very promising and unbeaten Jerald Into.
But the granite featured Hanoi boxer made amends at his next bout in emphatic fashion - a stoppage victory over Indonesian prospect Paisal Panjaitan. Nguyễn Văn Hải dropped his opponent in the first, before finishing his task with power shots in round 3.
Nguyễn Văn Hải will be appearing at "VSP PRO" on Saturday March 25th at VSP Gym in District 1 HCMC.
Cagayan de Oro fight legend Mark John Yap had a busy start to the new year.
Yap finished 2022 with a torrid exhibition bout in Ho Tram Vietnam, followed up shortly after with an explosive win in Manila against hard man Leonardo Doronio. But amongst the close scheduling of fights, he also experienced the blessing of the birth of his baby daughter Yuri.
The Yap family took some much needed "down time" and this week, the Mindanao star has resumed light training again.
It is expected that fans will see Mark John Yap back in the ring perhaps late April or early May.
Can't wait !!!

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.
