Fight 6: Nguyễn Khắc Dũng thắng điểm Trương Hải Biền

Ở lần thứ 3 thượng đài VSP Pro tay đấm 29 tuổi Khắc Dũng gặp đối thủ được đánh giá "dễ chịu" hơn. Tay đấm Hải Biền mới 17 tuổi và chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm với boxing. Thực tế được chứng minh khi Khắc Dũng có những cú jab, body shot và đòn móc hiệu quả. Trong khi đó tay đấm trẻ Hải Biền cho thấy kỹ thuật ra đòn còn khá hạn chế.

Hiệp 2 Khắc Dũng tiếp tục duy trì nhịp độ thi đấu chậm, dùng các cú jab tầm thấp trước khi ra đòn móc. Chiến thuật này tiếp tục cho thấy hiệu quả và tay đấm đến từ Hà Nội ghi điểm tốt. Trong khi đó Hải Biền tích cực di chuyển và ra đòn nhưng các tổ hợp đòn chưa thật nhuần nhuyễn.

Kịch bản ở 2 hiệp cuối không có đột biến dù Khắc Dũng tiếp tục giữ nhịp đánh chậm vì thể lực đi xuống. Hải Biền không thể tận dụng được lợi thế sức trẻ, ngược lại, thi thoảng anh còn dính đòn đấm over-hand từ phía đối thủ. Trụ vững đến giây cuối cùng, Khắc Dũng đã có phần thưởng xứng đáng là chiến thắng đồng thuận (39-37, 39-37, 39-37).

NGUYỄN KHẮC DŨNG GRABS HIS OPPORTUNITY

NGUYỄN KHẮC DŨNG GRABS HIS OPPORTUNITY

It was only July 29th that Hanoi boxer Nguyễn Khắc Dũng fought at VSP PRO, and plans were for the strongly built Lightweight to return to the ring in maybe 2 to 3 months.

But a late withdrawal of the opponent of Binh Duong team's Truong Hai Bien this Saturday created an immediate chance to fight that Dũng simply could not refuse.

And as they say, fortune favours the brave !

Dũng debuted at just one week's notice against one of Saigon's most promising boxers - former  youth champ Phan Minh Quân. He returned last month in vastly improved shape, but met an equally improved rival in Tran Tan Quang Dao.

The Hanoi boxer showed great sturdiness under pressure, because Dao arguably put on the best boxing performance of the night.

Courtesy of his improvement, the match up between Nguyễn Khắc Dũng and southpaw Truong Hai Bien shapes as one of the most interesting this Saturday night.

Bien is on debut, but has an extensive kickboxing and muay thai background, and the reports from Binh Duong are that he will be well suited to the professional boxing arena.

This fight has been elevated to the main undercard, and be in no doubt that these two hard headed warriors will do it justice !

Fight 1 Winner
July 29, 2023

Fight 1 Winner

Trần Tấn Quang Đạo có chiến thắng bằng tính điểm trước Nguyễn Khắc Dũng trong trận mở màn sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro 6!

Hiệp 1: Hai võ sỹ nhập cuộc chậm nhưng không khó nhận ra sự chênh lệch về kinh nghiệm, kỹ thuật cũng như thể chất của Trần Tấn Quang Đạo.

Chàng nhân viên văn phòng sinh năm 1991, Quang Đạo tận dụng rõ lợi thế sải tay và tốc độ để làm chủ trận đấu.

Những đòn jab tay trái của Quang Đạo không chỉ vừa ngăn đối thủ vừa ghi điểm mà còn tạo ra combo đòn sau đó kết thúc bằng cú hook phải tay lợi hại. Hiệp đầu tiên nghiêng rõ về Quang Đạo và ở chiều ngược lại Nguyễn Khắc Dũng bộc lộ rõ những sự hạn chế.

Hiệp 2: Kịch bản không thay đổi khi Quang Đạo vẫn tỏ rõ vượt trội với combo đấm 1-2. Không chỉ đấm trúng vùng mặt đối thủ, những đòn bodyshot của Quang Đạo còn khiến Khắc Dũng chật vật chống đỡ ở cuối hiệp.

Hiệp 3: Khắc Dũng chủ động áp sát nhằm tìm cơ hội ra đòn nhưng khi nó chưa mang lại nhiều hiệu quả thì võ sỹ từ Hà Nội liên tục dính đòn.

Phải sau hơn 1 phút đầu tiên Khắc Dũng mới có cú jab chất lượng trúng mặt đối thủ. Sự lỳ lợm của Khắc Dũng, và thể lực cũng có phần đi xuống của Quang Đạo khiến trận đấu biến thành màn cận chiến mà cả hai đều dính đòn từ đối phương.

Hiệp 4: Khắc Dũng tiếp tục duy trì phương án duy nhất giữ thế thủ cao găng (high-guard) áp sát và tìm cú đấm móc. Dù tìm thấy một đầm đón nặng ký trúng mặt Quang Đạo ở giữa hiệp nhưng nó chưa đủ đẻ Khắc Dũng knock-out Quang Đạo. Trong khi đó, dù thể lực đi xuống Quang Đạo vẫn có những cú đấm móc trả đòn, những pha body-shot chất lượng.

Kết quả: 39-37, 39-37, 40-36. Trần Tấn Quang Đạo thắng bằng tính điểm!

🔥 Trận đấu đầu tiên mở màn cho sự kiện VSP PRO #6

Trận đấu đầu tiên mở màn cho sự kiện VSP PRO #6 diễn ra lúc 18:00 vào ngày 29/7/2023

Giữa Trần Tấn Quang Đạo  và Nguyễn Khắc Dũng

Ngay sau buổi cân kí, Chúng tôi đã phỏng vấn ngay võ sĩ Quang Đạo về việc anh đánh giá đối thủ kì này của anh như thế nào ?

"Tôi nghĩ đối thủ lần này của tôi là một đối thủ có sức mạnh trong mỗi đòn đánh và tôi đoán cũng sẽ là trận đấu khó khăn với tôi sắp tới, nhưng không vì vậy mà khiến tôi lo sợ đối thủ của mình. Cả tôi và anh ta đều đã có lời qua tiếng lại với nhau trên mạng xã hội trước đó và đã có xảy ra 1 chút va chạm trong buổi họp báo nhưng ban tổ chức đã can thiệp và không có điều đáng tiếc nào xảy ra. Tuy nhiên, tôi sẽ cố gắng cống hiến cho khán giả theo dõi trực tiếp một trận đấu mãn nhãn và trên tinh thần fairplay & respect".  

Với sở trường là tốc độ và tinh thần chiến đấu không khuất phục anh tin tưởng rằng mình sẽ là người chiến thắng vào trận đấu ngày 29/7

Nói một chút về võ sĩ Khắc Dũng anh đến từ Hà Nội tuy đã tập boxing được vài năm nhưng anh lại không có cơ hội thi đấu, vào tháng trước anh đã đối đầu với Minh Quân một võ sĩ giỏi nhưng rất tiếc vì anh không có thời gian để chuẩn bị tốt cho trận đấu đó.

Nhưng bây giờ hoàn toàn khác. Cơ thể của anh đã sẵn sàng để chiến đấu. Thể lực và kỹ năng cũng đã vượt trội hơn.

Đây là những dấu hiệu cho thấy. Trận đấu này dã rất nóng từ trước khi trận đấu xảy ra. Kết quả ra sao ? ai sẽ là người chiến thắng, sẽ được hai võ sĩ trả lời vào ngày 29/7 tại sự kiện VSP PRO 6.

WHEN YOUNG STARS COLLIDE

WHEN YOUNG STARS COLLIDE

Plenty of good young prospects will be on show at REVOLUTION this month, and if you are looking for great fight action, you need go no further than Laurejas v Gajana.

These two unbeaten Lightweights had impressive starts to their careers last year, and are looking to carry on the good work on January 30th.

Donald Laurejas was a quality amateur before going pro late last year, scoring two tradesman like wins.

This 20 year old orthodox boxer is tall, and at 5 feet 10, he is learning to apply his range more effectively. The Elorde product with the ring name "Tough Guy" showed good patience in his first two wins, and based on the quality of his training partners, it's likely that Laurejas will show big improvement in his upcoming clash.

Jonathan Gajana at only 19 years of age still has the training wheels on, but has a ton of ability.

The Manila based orthodox debuted with a very stop start win against Eric Tolosa, but returned to the ring in August looking a different fighter. It was a much more dominant display from the opening bell, chopping up debutant Iresh Alejandre in the first round. It was only a glimpse of the boy known as Tan-Tan, but wow, he did look good !

Plenty of debate on who takes this one, as both these Lightweights have so much upside, and it will really be interesting to see if Gajana can storm the defensive fortress of Laurejas.

THE BEST NEW YEAR'S PRESENT - EVER !!!

Gotta love this match up !

This is the main event at UKC REVOLUTION.

Ronnie "Jong Jong" Baldonado is bringing those magical hands to Manila for a fire fight with Sanman's Ben Mananquil.

Mananquil aka The Nightmare has looked great in two outings since the pandemic, with a 4th round stoppage win over Crison Omayao, before losing to unbeaten South African star Phumelele Cafu, who was rated #11 in the world. The Nightmare did some good work early in that match, but it's fair to say that he was stylistically unsuited to his fellow southpaw opponent, and he is likely to have the ideal dance partner in Baldonado.

And this kid Baldonado, well he just brings it !

He's got great hands, lots of firepower, and you just know he has the love of putting opponents on the canvas.

FIGHT OF THE YEAR AUSTRALIA 2O22

FIGHT OF THE YEAR AUSTRALIA 2O22

Jackson Jon England and Paul Fleming are two of Australia's elite 130lb fighters, and what shaped up as a great fight on paper, ended up bringing the roof down !

These two champions threw the kitchen sink at each other for 10 consecutive rounds, earning them "Fight of the Year" status in Australia.

The win propelled former Olympian Paul Fleming to 28 and 0, and bestowed  him with WBA, WBC and IBF regional titles.

Interestingly, there is another very talented 130lb fighter in the Philippines by the name of Charly Suarez, also a former Olympian, and a recent winner of the IBF Asia belt.

He sits on 14 and 0, and despite his relative inexperience as a professional, the King's Warrior casts a simple message across the oceans:

"MR. FLEMING, WE ARE READY. LET'S GET IT ON!"

YES - WE EVEN WORK ON WEEKENDS !!

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!"

MARJOHN TO SHOW THIS DOG AINT JUST YAP !

Cagayan de Oro and the hills of Bukidnon are fabled for producing some of the best fighters ever seen in the Philippines.

Mark John Yap has been an outstanding international performer in recent years, most particularly in the tough playgrounds of Japan where he won 8 on end and picked up three regional belts.

The CDO prodigy has been working hard over the new year (pictured here with another top boxer and CDO boy Joseph Ambo) in preparation for the UKC REVOLUTION event at the end of this month.

Yap put on an exemplary display to beat Papua New Guinea's best Junior Raka, before starring in an exhibition series in Vietnam in December. Lack of fight opportunities during COVID conspired against the Mindanao boxer, but it is rumoured that he is already in great shape for his first hit out for 2023.

And a word of advice for any upcoming opponents of Mark John Yap  - this dog is a different breed, and the bite is way worse than the bark !

JERUSALEM SMASHES JAPAN SENSELESS

JERUSALEM SMASHES JAPAN SENSELESS

CLAIMS WBO WORLD TITLE

Great news to wake up to !

Who says the little guys can’t punch!

Earlier today in Osaka, Japan, the first new world champion of 2023 was crowned, as Filipino challenger Melvin Jerusalem sensationally took out defending WBO minimumweight champ, or strawweight champion if you prefer, Masataka Taniguchi with one big right hand to the chin in the second round. Jerusalem nailed the southpaw champion with a straight right hand that landed flush, Taniguchi going down heavily and then attempting to get up far too quickly. His equilibrium gone, Taniguchi was saved from any more by the referee. Time was 1:04. New champ Jerusalem is now 20-2(11). Taniguchi, who was making the second defence of the title and was a big favourite to win today’s fight,falls to 16-4(11).

Taniguchi won the opening round, this with his right jab; the challenger looking somewhat nervous and unsettled, with Jerusalem guilty of slinging some wild shots. This made the stunning, one-punch ending all the more, well, stunning. There could be no arguments about the stoppage, and, with his big win, Jerusalem restored some pride to the Philippines; the country having ended 2022 with not one reigning world champion.

28 year old Jerusalem, who has never been stopped and who lost to Wanheng Menayothin in his only other world title chance, this in January of 2017, for the WBC strawweight title, has now won his last nine fights, 5 by stoppage. A big puncher for such a small guy, this 105 pounder is a fighter to watch. It will be interesting to see who “Gringo,” as Jerusalem is known, fights next.

MATEO TAPIA MEETS THE KING

MATEO TAPIA MEETS THE KING

Nov 3, 2018 #VSP organized the first #Victory8 event in Ho Chi Minh city.  

At the time, there was very little information available of Vietnamese boxers (not even on YouTube). We were searching high and low for local boxers. Then DJ Duy suggested a retired boxer named Truong Dinh Hoang. We couldn't pronounce his name so started to call him TDH and gave him a ring name "The King" to make it easier to remember.  We were worried how a retired Amateur boxer would do against a hot young professional boxer from Australia.  

Our worries quickly faded at the weigh in!  

The moment when TDH walked up to @mateo.tapia, we knew this would be a great fight!  

.

Mateo Tapia who was 20 years old at the time is now undefeated #1 in Australia with 15wins (9KO), soon moving to the US to pursue world titles.  

TDH has since become a WBA Asia Champion on our 3rd Victory8 "Legends of Hoan Kiem".

ESCANER HEADS TO THE REVOLUTION
January 5, 2023

ESCANER HEADS TO THE REVOLUTION

The “Little Giant” Giovanni Escaner made his long awaited return in March of last year, matched up with the experienced veteran Albert Alcoy. The bout marked a ring absence of more than 2.5 years for the locally based star, but he never missed a beat, and won with a dominant round two stoppage. The win was his first since he defeated the outstanding Renoel Pael in a thriller back in 2019.

The win over Pael, a winner of 23 fights, highlighted the level that Escaner had to worked to in his professional career. It also put him back on the winners’ list, after a previous loss to top American Joshua Greer ended in a dramatic stoppage loss. That blip punctuated a 10 match winning streak for the “Little Giant”.

The fight between top US prospect Joshua Greer and Giovanni Escaner must surely have been one of the most dramatic in 2019. Greer appeared to be sailing towards a world title. With only one loss on his resume, to the unbeaten Stephen Fulton, Greer was expected to make a statement in the Escaner fight. But things didn’t go to plan for the high flying American. Escaner dropped Greer in the third round, and it really looked as if he was going to be finished off by the Little Giant. To his credit, Greer regained his senses, and in a to and fro round, managed to stop Escaner in round 8. The action was frenetic, and it seemed obvious that the Philippines fighter perhaps only got caught in his effort to drop the American for a second time. To illustrate the closeness of the bout, the judges had scores of 67-66 and 67-65 when the referee called a halt.

Giovanni Escaner has been sparring in Manila in preparation for his appearance at REVOLUTION on January30th, and if the rumours are correct, the Little Giant is back bigger, badder, and better than ever!!!”

BALDONADO IS BACK TO THE FUTURE

BALDONADO IS BACK TO THE FUTURE

The REVOLUTION is officially in full swing, with news that ace bantamweight Ronnie Baldonado will be joining the card on January 30th.

The Mindanao boxer known as JongJong is one of the most exciting strikers in the Philippines, yet has been in relatve obscurity since 2019 due to inactivity.

It's almost ironic that he finally returned in 2022 to two losses, but the merit in the performances provides insight that 2023 will showcase the best version of Baldonado yet seen !

Ronnie Baldonado returned after a 3 year break, jumped weight classes, and took on one of the Philippines most promising fighters Carl Jammes Martin. It's fair to say that JongJong dominated the early stages of that match, even putting Wonder Boy on his butt, before tiring late in the contest. It was a fantastic comeback performance by Baldonado, and was followed up by a points loss in Japan to hot prospect Sho Ishida, a winner of 31  bouts.

2023 provides a fresh start for Baldonado,  who at only 26, and having experienced a 3 years break from the sport, is an improving young fighter that is extremely compelling to watch.

So expect to see Ronnie Baldonado turn up on January 30th with all guns blazing !

More updates on the REVOLUTION fight card coming soon.

PABUSTAN JOINS HOT CARD FOR 2023 OPENER

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.

MARK JOHN YAP TO BLAST MANILA JAN 30

One of the Philippines best performed international fighters of recent years Mark John Yap will treat boxing fans to the best new year's present possible - a Manila appearance on January  30 as a prelude to looking towards bigger overseas fights in 2023.

Yap returned home and put in a high quality performance in a WBA title clash with Charly Suarez, before overcoming PNG hard man Junior Kauko Raka in October of this year.

More recently, the star pinoy featured in a big show in Vietnam where he battled young gun Phan Minh Quân. The bout was unfortunately stopped due to an accidental head clash, with the cut requiring the CDO boxer to be stitched after the fight.

Not one to be deterred easily, Mark John Yap has informed that he will be in killer form on January 30 and he advises potential opponents - beware the Journey Man!

MARK JOHN YAP GETS A TORRID WELCOME

Philippines Mark John Yap received a solid workout at Fortunes of War, a great bout unfortunately cut short in round 3 due to accidental head clash.

Yap and Vietnam opponent Phan Minh Quân both enjoyed good moments early on, with the pinoy star getting a cut above the right eye very late in round one.

The Philippines boxer got the best of the second round, and the fighters followed that with toe to toe action, only to be halted by the ring doctor shortly after.

This was a great display by former HCMC youth boxer Quân, who clearly relished the challenge of fighting an established star like Mark John Yap.

He then closed the show in the 4th round with Thai Hoang Huy unable to answer the Wolverine's beserk attack while  pinned to the ropes.

HANOI HITMAN DROPS A ROUND ONE BOMB !

Hanoi strong man Nguyễn Văn Hải made an impressive return to the professional arena, stunning unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan with a stoppage victory.

The bout began quite evenly, with the visitor boxing carefully, and even dictating ring position, but then BOOM!

The Indonesian fighter began to launch heavy shots at Nguyễn Văn Hải, and found himself side on to his Vietnam nemesis. Quick to sieze the moment, Hải unleashed a perfect left hook to surprise the chin of Panjaitan.

It was a superb performance from Nguyễn Văn Hải against a confident and unbeaten opponent. His distance and timing were a big improvement on his loss in Manila, which was also against an unbeaten prospect named Jerald Into.

The Hanoi champion advances to 3 wins and 1 loss, and appears a potential professional star for Vietnam boxing.

CHARLY SUAREZ SHOWS ASIA HE'S THE BOSS

Last night in Vietnam, Philippine Army enlisted personnel Charly Suarez won the IBF Asia title with an impressive but unfortunate victory.

The King's Warrior boxed just two rounds with Indonesia’s champion Defry Palulu and undoubtedly looked all class and set the scene for a spectacular battle.

Unfortunately, in the second round, southpaw Palulu suffered some eye damage that required the ring doctor to stop the fight.

Charly Suarez is now confirmed ruler of Asia, owning both the WBA and IBF belts.

Before joining the Army's regular duty in July 2022, Private Suarez was a reserve Staff Sergeant, as may be remembered.

Private Suarez was named WBA Asia's Boxer of the Month for March 2022. Suarez competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil and won gold medals in various boxing events at the Southeast Asian Games in 2009, 2011, 2019, and 2022.

His coach is army reservist 1st Lieutenant Delfin Boholst.
