Jino is a MADMAN!  Lots of energy, aggression, sustained attack and pressure, and you got one very tough SOB! He loads some power also, winning 4 of his fights by Knockout. What a sequel! When they met in July last year, we had the makings of an epic and intriguing battle.

Roberto Gonzales, a winner of 28 bouts, and one of the Philippines most avoided fighters, looking to get ring time after an extended break. And Jino Rodrigo, a bona-fide MADMAN, afraid of nothing, and looking for big challenges to make himself a name.

The result? Exquisite violence !

Rodrigo and Gonzales performing a skilful and brutal dance that MUST be seen again !Gonzales says he will be far better prepared this time, and Rodrigo, who has been sparring the likes of Joe Noynay says simply, "I'm improved!" This is bound to be a beautiful and horrific theatre experience in the one viewing!

RODRIGO JOINS THE BATTLEFIELD

RODRIGO JOINS THE BATTLEFIELD

Perhaps one of the unluckiest boxers in recent months is high octane performer Jino Rodrigo. The "Silent Beast" has been the victim of multiple fight cancelations, including an international challenge in Kazakhstan. But Borat's loss is Philippines' gain, and the big news breaking today is that GAB has approved the late inclusion of Rodrigo at BATTLEFIELD UKC TIGER 2O22.

Jino Rodrigo takes on a previous opponent in Kelvin Tenorio, a fighter who he edged a points victory over back in 2018. Tenorio managed to survive onslaughts from top prospects like Jose Roda Jr and Carlo Bacaro, so this should be a really good clash.

And Jino is a MADMAN !

You will never see the Silent Beast in a boring fight - this is a guy that always tries to put the judges out of a job !

If there is a Knockout to be had, Jino Rodrigo is the man to deliver it, because he carries the sleeping pills in both hands !

"ANNIHILATION" VIETNAM STYLE !

"ANNIHILATION" VIETNAM STYLE !

One of the most interesting bouts at ANNIHILATION UKC will feature the appearance of Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai.

Hai is regarded as the most experienced "multiple forms" fighter in Vietnam, whether it be with gloves, kicks or sticks!

Despite not having competed as a boxer in a long time, Hai has the muscle memory to fight any size, and at any time. The 59kg fighter was listed to fight Jino Rodrigo at 64kg as recently as March, but was unable to fulfill due to planes not flying.

This time around, he is pitched against the very promising and unbeaten southpaw Jerald Into at 61kg, a fighter that achieved 4 KO in his wins thus far. Into obviously has power, but impressively, sets everything up with a nice jab and is very clever at precise shot selection.

Nguyen Van Hai is well known in Vietnam for sparring westerners literally 30kg heavier than himself, so its fair to presume that nothing daunts this man, and his clash with Into will be one of the highlight bouts on Sunday August 7th.

JINO RODRIGO "The Silent Beast"

This super lightweight prospect trained at the Olivetti Gym started 2022 in great fashion, edging the dangerous Roberto Gonzales in a sequel fight.

The victory pushed the career tally of Rodrigo to 7 wins, with 5 by stoppage, and this young fighter appears to possess plenty of upside.

Expect to see the "Silent Beast " to continue to make big noise in the boxing ring in future assignments.

Another closely fought and compelling fight between the experienced Roberto Gonzales and improving youngster Jino Rodrigo.

Gonzales put some great combinations together, but often gave points back due to being countered.

Rodrigo continues to grow.

These Olivetti trained boxers have big fights coming at TIGER 2O22 next Saturday.

Jino rematches the highly experienced Roberto Gonzales, and based on their very close first fight, expect fireworks !
Bad Bad Basas is a super strong and improving type, and he takes on a more experienced and skilled Jason Buenaobra. Both these guys did great with a common opponent in Lorenz Ladrada, so their clash should prove one of the more interesting matches of the big 15 fight card.

RODRIGO READY TO GO "BANG" IN MARCH
December 30, 2021

RODRIGO READY TO GO "BANG" IN MARCH

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!

TOO HOT TO HANDLE MARCH 2022!
December 20, 2021

TOO HOT TO HANDLE MARCH 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.

JINO RODRIGO: "I WANT TO FIGHT A VIET!"
December 14, 2021

JINO RODRIGO: "I WANT TO FIGHT A VIET!"

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.

THE SNIPER TO TEST FOREIGN SOILS ?

Philippines Flyweight champion Ben "the Sniper" Ligas made amends for a scoring travesty in Cebu, with a classy title defense over Roland Jay Biendima.

The 112 division is stacked with talent right now, and there has been a lot of talk about who's next to challenge for Ligas' national crown.

But rumours are strong that the Philippines champion will be testing himself against international opposition at his next fight, an initiative that surely will see him an even more formidable foe for locals to deal with.

This will be a big news story breaking soon for sure.

"I’m fighting on @yokavalle_oficial undercard in Costa Rica, 25th of March, where she will defend her IBF World Title. It’s an honour to be a part on this ALL FEMALE Boxing Card over here in Costa Rica, in celebration of Womens Month together with some incredible girls on the card. Yoka is like the female version of Canelo, so I’m counting on a sold out venue and unreal atmosphere… I will be fighting a opponent from Nicaragua and this will be my 3rd professional fight in 22 days…" reported Sandstrom earlier today.
Linn has competed in Victory8 in Vietnam, and more recently, fought in Manila at TIGER 2022 UKC on the undercard of Charly Suarez v Tomjune Mangubat.

CHAMP EYES VARGAS JULY 9TH

Recently crowned WBC world champ Mark Magsayo and MPP boss Sean Gibbons know plenty about boxing. But there's also plenty to learn, and who is their "go to" person when they need answers ?

None other than Mam Cucuy Elorde, who is always happy to help when they need a hand!

Magsayo and Gibbons fly back to the states tomorrow, to begin preparations for the unbeaten Rey Vargas in July.

Vargas is a vastly different proposition to Gary Russell Jr, who is a short southpaw.

The Mexican is a 5ft11 orthodox, and has won all 35 bouts (22 KO).

In spite of the daunting record, this style of opponent should suit Magsayo perfectly.

TESORO OUT TO ACE THE OPPOSITION
March 18, 2022

TESORO OUT TO ACE THE OPPOSITION

Jestine "the Aceman" Tesoro and Palawan's Lorence Rosas contested perhaps the closest match of the day at TIGER 2O22 UKC, and it was a tribute to both fighters to keep it a chess match till the final bell.

Southpaw Rosas began the bout extremely well, and was a convincing round one winner. His angles and head movement gave Tesoro big problems again in round two, but late in the round, clever adjustments by the Aceman made it anybody's round. It was clear by the third, that 22 year old Tesoro had solved the Rosas puzzle, and they were big winning rounds for the young fighter.

So now Rosas was the one having problems, trying to manage the height and reach advantage of his rival. But round five, the Pride of Palawan showed his ring acumen, landing some great shots to charge back into the contest.

The final round was up for grabs, and whilst both boxers got a little ragged, it's fair to say Tesoro did a sufficient job to stick and move to pinch the contest.

This was a really interesting bout, and a great result for a fast improving Tesoro. Lorence Rosas has skills and experience, and can be an awkward fight for anybody. Just ask Mike Plania !

Really good signs here for Lorence Rosas, and for the Aceman, looking forward to seeing what he can produce in coming fights.

The prize?

A WBA Asia belt and a world ranking. This fight was hellfire (as predicted !) and Martin showed huge composure, determination, and fitness to redress the first half of the fight.

The performance of Baldonado was phenomenal, and he will be a big star for Philippines boxing.

Can't wait to see what's next for Carl Jammes Martin !  Very impressive !

MANEFISTO DELIVERS A WINNING PLAN

Jason Buenaobra returned to the winners list with an outstanding win against a rampaging Remon Basas at TIGER 2O22 Ultimate Knockout Challenge in Paranaque.

This match proved to be one of the best of the day, pitting Buenaobra southpaw skills and footwork against Basas relentless pressure and workrate.

These two fighters had a common previous foe in top Mindanao fighter Lorenz Ladrada,  

and it was really pleasing to see the improvements that they had made since those battles. Basas looked relentlessly bullish and dangerous, and displayed enhanced foot speed in the bout.

This was a fine performance by Jason Buenaobra, he worked nicely off a backfoot jab, made clever angles, and mitigated the advances of Bad Bad Basas with classy point scoring touches.

THANK YOU PHILIPPINES !
March 15, 2022

THANK YOU PHILIPPINES !


Sweden's Linn Sandstrom and Mindanao's Aisah Alico put on a great show for the fans at TIGER 2O22. For Sandstrom, it was a valuable learning fight, and for the more experienced Alico, a chance to get much needed ring time after a pandemic enforced absence. Kudos to local girl Alico, whilst short on fitness, the Swedish fighter said that she hit a lot harder than any previous opponent !

We wish the Aussie based "Sandstorm" lots of luck in her future fights, and love to see her back again in the Philippines if she is passing by.

Charly Suarez enjoying the after glow of a super day of fights at the TIGER 2O22 Ultimate Knockout Challenge yesterday in Paranaque.

The King's Warrior played his part, winning an iconic and exciting WBA Asia title contest with freak Cebu warrior Tomjune Mangubat. It was a world class performance by the two combatants, and one that will have the world's best ducking the Philippines best fighter.

Today the champ was chilling with close friends and family of coach Delfin Boholst. And from the look of Charly's unmarked complexion, it seems coach Boholst had him pretty well trained in the art of defense !

CHARLY SUAREZ WINS KNOCKOUT
March 12, 2022

CHARLY SUAREZ WINS KNOCKOUT

Charly Suarez is without peer in Philippines boxing.

He put on a masterclass tonight against the best young prospect in the country to claim the WBA Asia title and put the world on notice.

Tomjune Mangubat was physically imposing, and perhaps won the first two rounds of tonight's bout.

But Suarez hands and feet were so quick, and accuracy so good,  he constantly picked off an advancing Mangubat. In the end, a fatigued Mangubat was dropped in the final round, and the ref waved it off.

Suarez showed that he is far and away the best fighter in the country,  and big credit to Mangubat, he was outstanding.

He will no doubt achieve big things in the future and be a star for the Philippines.

FIGHT OF THE YEAR CONTENDER

AMAZING AND DRAMATIC !

AMAZING AND DRAMATIC !

Carl Jammes Martin pulls a Knockout in round 11 from a dominant Ronnie Baldonado in a classic.

Baldonado knocked down Wonder Boy in the second,  and dominated till the mid stages, where a resurgent Martin edged back. In the end it was Martin's fitness that prevailed, against a totally exhausted Baldonado.

EPIC FIGHT!

BEN LIGAS WINS
March 12, 2022

BEN LIGAS WINS

Thats the way you want to see a champ defend his title!

Ben Ligas looked all class in a near shutout win over Roland Jay Biendima.  The Elorde boxer looked balanced and in control and set up beautiful combos off his enviable jab.

Biendima was one tough SOB as expected, and landed some nice shots of his own. He definitely had Ligas hurt a couple of times in this quality national championship bout.

LINN SANDSTROM WINS KNOCKOUT
March 12, 2022

LINN SANDSTROM WINS KNOCKOUT

Great win on foreign soil by Linn Sandstrom  against Mindanao girl Aisah Alico.

Despite showing caution, Sandstrom enjoyed the best of the action, and was the busier of the two boxers.

Aisah Alico looked comfortable Despite the fact she was largely in defensive mode, but was leveled with a decent Sandstrom body shot in the fifth round.

Nice win for the Swedish born Aussie Linn Sandstrom who says she LOVES THE PHILIPPINES !

IMPOSSIBLE !
March 12, 2022

IMPOSSIBLE !

Jonjon Estrada behind on the cards, and getting a boxing lesson from Mindanao's Jess Rhey Waminal,  scores two crushing knockdowns to win the fight.

Jess Rhey Waminal looked all class, and was picking Estrada apart.  He just needed to keep boxing to ensure victory.

Estrada now 15 wins 14 knockouts.

THE WOLVERINE !!!   WOW !!

MICHAEL DASMARINAS WINS
March 12, 2022

MICHAEL DASMARINAS WINS

Has Michael Dasmarinas found a new home at featherweight ?

We hope so !

This is the strongest and most energetic that he has ever looked.

Danny Tampipi is a tough customer, and he has previously competed well with top fighters, and nobody has ever dominated him like Hot'n Spicy Dasmarinas did today!

ARNEL BACONAJE WINS
March 12, 2022

ARNEL BACONAJE WINS

Great performance by Arnel Baconaje to win by shutout over an extremely resilient Leonardo Doronio.

Baconaje landed more frequently, and also had the power ascendancy, over a bigger opponent. He also controlled the ring with excellent movement.

It was definitely an improved version of Doronio today, he looked fit and imposing. He just struggled with Baconaje's movement,  and he will no doubt fare better with a less mobile opponent.

JINO RODRIGO WINS KNOCKOUT
March 12, 2022

JINO RODRIGO WINS KNOCKOUT

Another closely fought and compelling fight between the experienced Roberto Gonzales and improving youngster Jino Rodrigo.

Rodrigo continues to grow.

Canada looked great, big and physical, and this was shaping to be a real war!

GIOVANNI ESCANER WINS
March 12, 2022

GIOVANNI ESCANER WINS

Giovanni Escaner was class from the opening bell, and had opponent Albert Alcoy in trouble at the end of the first round. Escaner continued his good work in the second, forcing Alcoy to the corner, before landing an overhand shot to the temple, and closing the show.

JASON BUENAOBRA WINS
March 12, 2022

JASON BUENAOBRA WINS

Great showing by southpaw Jason Buenaobra,  who dominated the ring position for most part, setting his combos up with slick and varied jabs, and quick feet shift to his right.

This again was an improved Basas, and whilst out maneuvered, he managed to corner Buenaobra at times and land heavy shots of his own. He kept his opponent thinking the entire fight, which was expected !

JESTINE ACE TEROSO WINS
March 12, 2022

JESTINE ACE TEROSO WINS

Lorence Rosas won the first round with good accuracy inside from southpaw stance. The much taller Tesoro started to find his range late in the second, to dominate the middle rounds. Lorence Rosas regrouped with a nice round five and a close final round.

Good fight both boys, and while a draw was fair, hard to argue with a Tesoro win.

ALMACEN v BENTOSO TECHNICAL DRAW
March 12, 2022

ALMACEN v BENTOSO TECHNICAL DRAW

“WE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL RUN”
March 12, 2022

“WE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL RUN”

Omega Cebu coach Julius Erving Junco didn’t mince words at yesterday’s press conference. He believes that former Olympian Charly Suarez can’t mix it with their star, and if he does, he will lose every round or even worse – be KNOCKED OUT!  

TOMJUNE Mangubat looks to score a huge upset today, March 12, as he faces highly touted former Olympian Charly Suarez in a World Boxing Association (WBA) super featherweight title fight in the main event of “Ultimate Knockout Challenge: Tiger 2022” at The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex in Parañaque City, Metro Manila.

The 24-year-old Mangubat is coming in as an underdog against Suarez, who has been impressive in his career as a pro.

Mangubat, however, hopes to derail the Suarez hype train and hand him his first career defeat.

“That’s what we want for him to go toe-to-toe. We believe he’ll run. They will have a bigger chance of winning if it goes the distance because it’s their promotion,” Mangubat’s coach Julius Erving “Jinggoy” Junco told SunStar Cebu. “If possible (we’ll knock him out). We could also win all the rounds and show the judges that we’re in control.”

Mangubat tipped the scales at 129 pounds, while the 33-year-old Suarez weighed-in a pound lighter at 128 pounds.

The winner of the fight could break into the WBA super featherweight rankings and step closer at a world title shot.

Mangubat is 15-2-1 with 12 knockouts, while Suarez is 9-0 with six knockouts.

"WE WILL ROCK YOUR SHOW LET'S GO !"

Omega coach Julius Erving Junco with pride of Cebu and main event fighter Tomjune Mangubat.

The super talented Mangubat is fighting the hottest property in Philippines boxing, the former Olympian and unbeaten pro, Charly Suarez.

So clinical has the King's Warrior been since leaving the amateurs, he is yet to lose a round in 9 fights (6 KO)

Mangubat has built an impressive resume of his own, racking up 15 wins against some quality opponents. Three of his last 4 fights have been wicked and thunderous stoppages!

The clash of these two super fighters promises to be a thriller.

"We are always up for the biggest challenges. We can't wait to perform. Let's go champ! We will rock your show!" enthused a supremely confident and proud Coach Julius.

This will be a fight to tell your grand kids about!

Do not miss it for anything.

Make no mistake, Tomjune Mangubat is perhaps the hottest prospect in the country right now, and at the age of just 24, is already planning the downfall of the best fighter in the Philippines.

JUST WOW !

D'STRIKER IS READY FOR A SANDSTORM !

D'STRIKER IS READY FOR A SANDSTORM !

Cagayan de Oro fighter Aisah "D'Striker" Alico has arrived in Manila, and is looking forward to her clash with Australia's Linn Sandstrom this Saturday.
Alico, who has 7 career wins (5KO), hasn't fought since March 2019, but has shared the ring previously with world class opponents. In contrast, Linn Sandstrom with 2 wins, is way less experienced, but has the advantage of being more recently active. The boxer known as "Sandstorm" had a solid victory in Brisbane last Thursday night at the No Limits Boxing show in Australia.
On arrival in Manila, the Mindanao girl said "It's HOT!" and headed straight to the pool for a cool down. Few could blame her, and for sure, expect things to get heated in her match this Saturday.

SANDSTROM LANDS IN MANILA
March 7, 2022

SANDSTROM LANDS IN MANILA

Australia's Linn Sandstrom has touched down in Manila, and headed straight to the Elorde Southbox gym first thing this morning to shake off the jet lag !

Swedish born Sandstrom, who only recently turned pro, scored her second win on Thursday night at the big No Limits Boxing event in Brisbane.

Sandstrom has an unusual back story, having formerly being a high level table tennis player in Sweden, before discovering her true passion for boxing once she arrived in Australia. A relatively late comer to the sport, Linn is on a fast track to learn the game, and her plan is, stay as busy as possible !

Linn Sandstrom will fight CDO girl Aisah Alico in the opening fight at TIGER 2O22 on Saturday. Alico has recorded 7 wins (5 KO), but may have to contend with ring rust having not competed since 2019.

RUIN SUAREZ'S WORLD TITLE PLAN ?
March 7, 2022

RUIN SUAREZ'S WORLD TITLE PLAN ?


Tomjune Mangubat and his team from Omega Cebu are super confident that they have the boxer and the game plan to bring down the Philippines best Charly Suarez.
The match is scheduled for 12 rounds, and they say the skillful Suarez will wish he was back in the amateurs !
The Mangubat team claim that the King's Warrior is on old legs, and he won't be able to run all night. And if Suarez tries to go toe to toe, he will get hurt by the bigger and very physical Tomjune Mangubat. In fact, they predict that Charly Suarez won't see the final bell!
Them's fighting words!
But one thing for sure, Tomjune Mangubat is one of the hottest prospects in Philippines boxing, and looks destined to develop into a world class fighter.
His clash with Charly Suarez will prove a very significant milestone on that journey.

"WONDER BOY WINNING STREAK IS OVER"


Ronnie "Jong Jong" Baldonado and Michael "Hot'n Spicy" Dasmarinas have the rounds in the bank, and are super confident to put on blazing displays in Manila next Saturday.

Baldonado is a powerhouse bantam moving up to challenge the unbeaten Carl Jammes Martin for the WBA Asia strap. Whilst being a big admirer of the precocious Wonder Boy, the punching wizard Baldonado puts it bluntly
"He can't beat me, so his winning streak will be over!"
Michael Dasmarinas had an unfortunate no contest at his most recent, when the durable Ernie Saulong received an accidental head gash. The classy Dasmarinas will ensure no repeat of that, when he meets total "pain in the ass "opponent Danny Tampipi, a southpaw renowned as both durable and awkward. Wanna know more?

HAPPY SUNDAY !!


Jino Rodrigo and Remon Basas chillin' and getting a tan now the hard work's been done !
These Olivetti trained boxers have big fights coming at TIGER 2O22 next Saturday.

Jino rematches the highly experienced Roberto Gonzales, and based on their very close first fight, expect fireworks !
Bad Bad Basas is a super strong and improving type, and he takes on a more experienced and skilled Jason Buenaobra. Both these guys did great with a common opponent in Lorenz Ladrada, so their clash should prove one of the more interesting matches of the big 15 fight card.

LIGAS DRESSED FOR SUCCESS ! !

Ben "the Sniper" Ligas suits up for his Philippines Flyweight title defense next Saturday in Paranaque.
Not only a boxer of high potential, Ligas doubles as a pretty useful model for the latest sports wear from the team at BE ATHLETIC !
The Sniper will defend his belt as one of the main undercard bouts to the huge Charly Suarez v Tomjune Mangubat WBA Asia clash.

THE JUICER2 SHOW COMING YOUR WAY !

THE JUICER2 SHOW COMING YOUR WAY !

Ben "the Juicer" Mcculloch was one of the best boxers Australia has ever produced, winning 14 straight and getting to world rank #3 as a super middleweight. His signature was his beautiful balance, distance and rotational power, often producing decapitation style knockouts. And it always looked so effortless!

Arnel Baconaje is as close as we've seen to the Aussie star, and he is a standout as one of the Philippines best and most technical operators. The Iloilo fighter shows really good patience in setting his shots, makes good angles, and dispenses the pain with plenty of high and low variety. His defensive base is solid, and he simply never gives cheap shots away to opponents.

Says McCulloch : "I love this guy, especially when I've seen him work with Suarez and Pumicpic. He has the really nice distance and jab, and has that nice Bernard Hopkins /James Toney roll that I used to love when I fought. But you know what, I can see a lot of Canelo in JUICER2, he really is QUALITY !"

Juicer2, also known as "the Silencer ",will be appearing next week at TIGER 2O22 in Manila. Tune in, and judge for yourself ! He is a special fighter.

CREATI AND SANDSTROM SCORE WINS
March 4, 2022

CREATI AND SANDSTROM SCORE WINS

Big congrats to former Victory8 and world team members Danilo Creati and Linn Sandstrom on great wins in Brisbane last night.
"Dash" Creati put on a clinic, besting the outstanding Cameron Hammond, an Olympian who had won 18 of 19 pro fights. Creati was untouchable, winning by shutout and dropping his opponent twice during the contest.
Linn Sandstrom showed the benefits of a great camp, and better shot selection, in her victory over Ali Jensen. In an entertaining match, the Swedish born Sandstrom sent her opponent to the floor twice, but plenty of punches were still exchanged till the final bell.
Philippines Joe Noynay had a below par performance, stopped by a beautiful left hook in the second round from a vengeful Liam Wilson. Noynay weighed in 4kg over and his poor showing remains a puzzle.
