VSP boxer Lorenz Ladrada has had a busy and successful campaign in 2021, after a two year hiatus from the sport. The native of Bukidnon , and a former prospect with ALA in Cebu, has trained with the strong Elorde team in Manila since January. Next week Ladrada returns to the ring against quality southpaw Jason Buenaobra, and is looking to an emphatic win to close the year in style.
Lorenz “Cerberus” Ladrada has boxing in his blood. He left school at 10 and was a member of the Cagayan de Oro boxing team. By the time he was 17, he had joined ALA promotions in Cebu and made his professional debut. His last win for that organisation was in 2019 against Rimon Rama, and it was not long after that that the pandemic hit and Ladrada returned home to Mindanao.
It was a far heavier than previous version of the fighter that got on the scales on the first day of the year and weighed 146 pounds! Many even thought that Cerberus was pregnant!! But Ladrada managed to take off 20 pounds by February, and scored an impressive comeback win against the very physical Remon Basas. “Cerberus” followed up on this first up effort with excellent wins against Marklin Itim and Claudevan Sese, showing pleasing improvement with each match. His most recent match was definitely his best performance of the year, albeit a narrow loss at the hands of Gary “the Hawk” Tamayo. Ladrada and Tamayo had generated a great rivalry even before they stepped in the ring, and the match between the two top prospects didn’t disappoint. Southpaw Tamayo got the best of the early rounds, and Ladrada did the better work late, culminating in an exciting split decision win to Tamayo.
Lorenz Ladrada promises anyone that will listen ythat he will deliver his best performance of 2021 next week at the Ultimate Knockout Challenge in Paranaque. He boasts that all his signature moves of fast footwork, elusive defense and exhilarating shot selection will of course be on show. But he says that there is more, and that he is far better prepared for a quality southpaw like Buenaobra this time. Ladrada warns that his angles, his distance, and his punch volume will be a big step up from what he showed against Tamayo.
For sure, he will need it! Jason Buenaobra is a measured southpaw with great ring IQ!
Never one to worry, Lorenz “Cerberus” Ladrada has declared that he will win, and he will win pretty!.
This great pic was from the Reboot show way back in February 2021, and it was a major accomplishment by Mam Cucuy Elorde to pull it off!
Charly Suarez had been inactive (as were all local pinoy fighters) and the pandemic was proving to be a terrible time for many boxers who could not return home, and even worse, having a daily battle to feed themselves and their families.
VSP asked Mam Cucuy if it was possible to create a show so that Charly Suarez could resume his career. Despite all odds, she put together a great card that also unearthed another big talent - the Wolverine JonJon Estrada!
The event was aptly named Reboot "New Beginning" ,and even though there were only 5 bouts, and the boxers had to endure a "quarantine bubble", it was a lot of fun and marked the start of boxing again in the Philippines.
Boxers that starred at THE BEGINNING :
The Wolverine JonJon Estrada
King's Warrior Charly Suarez
Cerberus Lorenz Ladrada
Remon "Bad Bad" Basas
Ali "Carnage" Cañega
Apocalypse Glenn Bismanos
The Sniper Ben Ligas
The Bull Alphoe Dagayloan
The Prince Andrew Laurio
Ranny "the Cleaner" Quizo
The relentless punching machine that is Remon Basas returns this month, and matches up with rangy young southpaw Jestine Ace Tesoro.
The bout will signal a move to the heavier weight classes for Basas, but without doubt, Olivetti Gym will have him well prepared for the task. The 24 year old fighter is still very much on the improvement path, but has already racked up 6 wins, and has experienced good opponents like Delmar Pellio, Lorenz Ladrada and Franco Serafica.
The great thing that has characterized all his performances is that he always brings the heat! This kid is relentlessly working in the ring, and has a low looping style that sets up really effective body punches.
Jestine Ace Tesoro is a really promising type. He had good moments against JonJon Estrada, outgunned a very savvy Lorence Rosas, and then was narrowly beaten in Japan. But for Remon Basas, Tesoro is just another guy across the ring, and he will be bringing a bucket load of BAD BAD intentions to the party !
Remon Basas v Jestine Ace Tesoro
BATTLEFIELD UKC TIGER 2O22
Elorde Sports Centre Paranaque Manila Sunday October 23rd
Chillers, thrillers and KILLERZZZ assembled at Elorde Southbox this morning for yet another training block.
Big fights coming!!
Next event BATTLEFIELD Oct 23 in Manila
Dana Coolwell weighed in 57.0kg, dead on the featherweight limit.
Bukidnon's Lorenz Ladrada looked great at 56.8kg.
The Aussie indigenous star and Ladrada will battle out 8 rounds tomorrow night at the Gold Coast on the undercard of the Mairis Briedis world cruiserweight title defense. Briedis has suffered only one loss in a glittering career, that being at the hands of current heavyweight world champ Oleksandr Usyk.
Bukidnon's Lorenz Ladrada resumed from a 2 year hiatus in early 2021, only to enjoy the busiest of years, winning 4 of his 5 matches, and pleasingly, showing constant improvements with each outing.
His consistency has been rewarded with a fight in Australia against one of that country's best super featherweight prospects, the very "Deadly" Dana Coolwell. The Aussie is one of those beautiful indigenous fighters, really fast hands, lots of clever volume, and blessed with intuitive skills and movement! And similar to Ladrada, each time we see Coolwell he just gets better and better. His last match was a narrow points loss for a world youth title that many believe he won.
This is a really interesting fight!
Coolwell is 2 to 3 weight classes above Ladrada, who also happens to be the much shorter boxer.
But the Aussie bout will be on the "middle ground " of featherweight, and as you can see from today's picture, Ladrada will strip very strongly at this weight. Dana Coolwell is tall and still growing, so it remains to be seen if he can bring his usual energy and pop to this world title undercard.
This is one of best undercards in Australia this year, and Ladrada v Coolwell is the main support to the world cruiser title between Mairis Briedis and Jai Opetaia.
Action coming from the Gold Coast July 2nd.
GO LADRADA !!!
Bukidnon's Lorenz "Cerberus" Ladrada ventures to Australia to face outstanding prospect Dana Coolwell at the Gold Coast on July 2nd.
On what is a night showcasing some of of Australia's best talent, Ladrada fights on the main undercard to a cracking world title Cruiserweight showdown between Mairis Briedis and Jai Opetaia.
Dana Coolwell is a natural super featherweight, and Ladrada a super bantam, yet the Aussie match will be held on middle ground of featherweight !
Whilst Coolwell will hold a height and reach advantage, what will be key is whether he can maintain his outstanding workrate at this lower weight class. If down on energy, he faces a tough night at the office with the Philippines' Lorenz Ladrada !!
VSP young gun Lorenz Ladrada heads to Queensland in July to fight top flight Aussie Dana Coolwell, and what's more, its on a World Title undercard!
Bukidnon's Ladrada has yet to fight this year, but had a successful 2021 with 4 wins from 5 outings. His lone loss was a split decision to the very exciting Gary Tamayo.
Dana Coolwell is one of the best prospects in Australian boxing, and is coming down from 130 to take on Ladrada.
As reported by promoter Tasman Fighters:
#COOLWELL | #LADRADA | #JULY2 | #GCCEC
This Card is Taking on Legendary Status
Fresh off an incredible performance Dana Coolwell immediately heads back to the canvas to face off with Filipino Lorenz Ladrada (11-2-1) July 2nd on the Opetaia v Briedis IBF World Cruiserweight Title undercard - Utterly Unmissable Boxing
Coolwell will be looking to stomp any fire out quickly after a close fight last time he graced the canvas. You’ll want tickets to this amazing card - be quick - tickets are running out FAST.
Banging times ahead for some of the Elorde crew.
Gretel De Paz heads to Australia in June, then Lorenz Ladrada to Australia, Cris Ganoza and the Wolverine JonJon Estrada to Japan, and Jules Victoriano to Vietnam, all in July.
Ranny Quizo also meets Rodel Suganob in a local derby that same month.
DON'T FORGET we will have a big card for Manila on August 7th, where we are working to get the Philippines best Charly Suarez his first foreign opponent in the professional ranks.
Also very exciting news breaking late last night is the appearance at this show of the promising and unbeaten Jerald Into.
For those who aren't familiar with the name, you are sure to hear a lot more!
This is a boxer who has settled his first 4 fights with dramatic Knockouts !
Lorenz Ladrada is one of the many talented Mindanao fighters to compete in Manila in recent events.
The participation of visitor fighters to Luzon, amidst the difficulties the Elorde team encountered to even create events during lockdown, definitely deserves special mention.
At TIGER 2O22, Tomjune Mangubat, Charly Suarez, and Ronnie Baldonado formed three parts of the two headline fights - all Mindanao boys.
Lorenz "Cerberus" Ladrada is a proud son of the mountains, hailing from Malitbog Bukidnon, so it is fantastic to see his family and friends get behind his journey, and even receive a salutation from the mayor.
Well done to Lorenz Ladrada and all the fighters that have managed to keep the faith and stay competitive in these hard times.
TIGER 2022 plays host to an array of top name fighters, but without doubt, one of the best match ups is Olivetti’s Remon Basas taking on Jason Buenaobra.
These two boxers could not be any more different in style, yet both are on an upward trajectory. Perhaps the only form line that unites them, is a common opponent in the form of the very talented Lorenz Ladrada.
Remon “Bad Bad” Basas showed promising signs in his first bout of 2021, losing a points battle to Ladrada. Whilst beaten on timing and speed, he showed lots of come forward, and even late into the final round, he still loomed dangerously. He followed up that effort with an excellent win over a vastly improved Marklin Itim, a super close affair that was underscored by a massive punch count for both fighters. But it was the accuracy and shot selection of Basas that swayed the judges, and it was definitely a great showing by the Olivetti boxer.
Jason Buenaobra resumed from a long lay off, and took on Ladrada last December. Showing no signs of rust, “Manefisto” showed beautiful ring control from the southpaw stance, and dominated his opponent for much of the fight. The points loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as he fought a better version of “Cerberus” Ladrada than Basas did, and he also enjoyed lots of great moments. That fight was also at featherweight, and no doubt, the move to super bantam will really assist his cause.
This one plays out as a total war!
Yes, Jason Buenaobra is the more experienced and technical boxer. But Basas is strong, and he also owns a swarming style that gives rivals no peace, and he will be looking to make this a very dogged, physical contest.
Can he solve the Buenaobra southpaw puzzle? Let’s see, but “Bad Bad” Basas definitely has plans to make life extremely uncomfortable for his classy opponent!

TIGER 2022
Paranaque, Manila Saturday March 5
Lorenz "Cerberus" Ladrada kicks off his 2022 campaign alongside an all star cast this coming March in Paranaque, Manila.Beware the three headed dog!
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.
