Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam.

Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.

Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on the rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level.

This legend dubbed “ the Hanoi Hitman” will look to reverse that loss, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

Why does Vietnamese Boxing really need international events at home like Fortunes of War?

Why does Vietnamese Boxing really need international events at home like Fortunes of War?

NEWS FROM WEBTHETHAO

Professional boxing events in Vietnam began to rekindle in the period of 2015, when management units such as Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF) or Ho Chi Minh City Boxing Federation. Ho Chi Minh City (HBF) organizes this form of competition, with the participation of famous boxers in the domestic amateur boxing village. After that, promotion companies began to appear with names like VSP Promotions, Cocky Buffalo, Saigon Sports Club, VBC, Trigger Boxing... continued to appear to bring more national elements. economic: events, title matches, friendlies.

However, it was not until 2018, when the promoters really embarked on a comprehensive approach, at this time, the challenge for the development of professional boxing began to really appear.

To be recognized at the professional level, competitions must be under the supervision of organizations capable of recognizing professional achievements around the world. This supervision is based on the rules - the rules of the game (regulations) are specified in the operating regulations of professional organizations such as WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF...

In Vietnam, the presence of these organizations is not much. Therefore, boxers have only one option: to conduct tours in countries with developed boxing backgrounds such as Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, ... to be recognized for their achievements. However, the issue of funding, training procedures - competing with Vietnamese boxers is not a simple problem, despite the participation of experienced promotion companies in the region.

As a result, promoters have opted for a more pragmatic approach: organizing events right in Vietnam. To do this, they need to contact to get the approval of professional organizations in the world, through sending professional teams, supervising the organization and competition of martial arts.

Since 2019, units like VSP Promotions have made their mark with a series of events such as Victory 8, VSP Pro,... bringing Vietnamese boxers to participate in professional matches at home, recognizing their achievements. in the international system, gradually removing barriers for boxers who want to pursue this path.

From professional events, title fights began to appear. Victory 8: Legend of Hoan Kiem with the title of WBA East Asia; events of IBF, WBO at The Grand Ho Tram Strip with champions Dinh Hong Quan, Song Chan Ho... and here comes Fortunes of War with 3 matches for WBO - IBF title in weight classes on 10th December.

Not only for boxers, bringing international events to Vietnam also creates opportunities for domestic professionals, namely management units, referees, supervisors, etc. exposure to professional environment according to world standards. From there, events in Vietnam will gradually move to international level - something we all want in the development of all sports.

Following the success of two title events in April and July, Fortunes of War witnessed the title defense of the IBF Asian champion -  "Black Hawk" Dinh Hong Quan  in his 11th fight. The fighter born in 1998 will face the boxer from the Philippines -  "Silent Assassin" Arnel Baconaje.

In addition to the defense of the IBF Asian lightweight title between Dinh Hong Quan and Arnel Baconjae, Charly Suarez - a three-time SEA Games gold medalist and silver medalist at ASIAD 2014 will welcome an opponent from Indonesia - Defry Palulu for the IBF title. Asian super-featherweight.

Previously, WBO Oriental champion from Korea - Song Chan Ho will face Thai boxer Anusong Thonglueang in his title defense match. The competition took place over 10 rounds in the super-lightweight division.

In addition to the three matches/defending of the IBF and WBO belts,  Fortunes Of War  also witnessed the return of Vietnamese boxing monument Nguyen Van Hai, promising fighters Le Hoang Hiep, Thai Hoang Huy or Pham Minh Quan before the competition. boxers from Indonesia and the Philippines.

List of matches at Fortunes of War on December 10:

Nguyễn Văn Hải returns to the ring at Fortunes of War to take on the unbeaten Indonesian "Geronimo" Paisal Panjaitan.

Hải resumed from a long break from the sport in Manila last August, and was outpointed by exciting prospect Jerald Into.

It was a creditable performance, yet short of the Hanoi hard man's best work, and you can be asdured we will see a vastly improved fighter next month in Ho Tram.

"My fight in Manila was fun, but it taught me important lessons. Indonesia’s man is a very good young boxer, so this time, I must play it very hard to try for victory. Very excited!"  commented the Hanoi Hitman.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI LOOKS FOR REDEMPTION
November 20, 2022

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI LOOKS FOR REDEMPTION

Hanoi boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải competed in his first match in almost 3 years this past August. In what was viewed as a welcome back contest in Manila for Hai, he came away with a points loss, and a bagful of "what if" scenarios on his performance. The end result was a steely resolve to make amends for that defeat as soon as possible.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam, and he returns to his love for boxing on December 10 at the Fortunes of War show in Ho Tram.

Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.

Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level. But he actually looked very good, and it will no doubt be a vastly improved, and perhaps vengeful, boxer that returns to the ring at The Grand Ho Tram on December 10.

This boxer dubbed  "the Hanoi Hitman" will look to reverse that loss in Manila, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

VIETNAM TIGERS READY FOR HO TRAM RUMBLE

Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced  mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam, and he returns to his love for boxing on December 10 at the Fortunes of War show in Ho Tram.

Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, but has had precious few chances to box in recent years. He was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and Hai did not see ring time until August of this year.

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust.

The boxer dubbed the Hanoi Hitman will look to build on that loss, and will be joined at The Grand Ho Tram by four other Vietnam fighters.

Dinh Hong Quân will contest the main event, while novice prospects Pham Minh Quân, Le Hoang Hiep  and Thai Hoang Huy will take on top class Philippines boxers in the undercard bouts.

Indonesia’s Paisal Panjaitan creates an exquisite and intriguing match up with Vietnam's Nguyễn Văn Hải.  At face value, their fight stats are remarkably similar, and both like to box out of the orthodox stance. But that's where the similarity ends.

Nguyễn Văn Hải has been immersed in "fighting" for more than 20 years, and has been a high level amateur.  In contrast, Paisal Panjaitan has been boxing for less than 5 years, and is clearly still learning the trade. That said, it's transparent that he has improved markedly with each performance,  and his energy levels will obviously prove a challenge to his Vietnam opponent. Panjaitan is tough too!

Unbeaten in 3 fights, he absorbed punishment yet won each contest convincingly.

This Vietnam v Indonesia match up will be over 4 rounds, so expect to see fireworks in this one, as both these talented fighters will be looking to impose their will.

Really looking forward to this one !

Nguyen Van Hai is heading to Manila next Sunday, and is vowing to show the locals what Vietnam boxing is all about.

Despite a top prospect opponent like the unbeaten Jerald Into (4 and 0), and not having competed in more than two years, for Hai, it all makes little difference.

VIETNAM MEETS PINOY POWER !

ANNIHILATION UKC will play host to some visiting international boxers, but perhaps none more intriguing than Vietnam legend Nguyen Van Hai !

Despite not having seen the inside of a boxing ring since 2020, Hai is a master of various fight forms, and has the skills and experience to make the biggest tasks seem  simple! His eagerness to compete in Manila was hugely obvious, so much so he did not even ask about the opponent or weight class when invited to fight!

The Hanoi based athlete is renowned for his strength and defensive skills, and though he has extensive amateur experience, has only two pro fights on his resume. He was successful in both bouts, with one ending in stoppage.

Jerald Into is an exciting young southpaw with nice balance and ring savvy. He has an excellent jab that he delivers with variety, and is extremely patient in setting up his shots which is great to see.

And the boy's got POWER!

Jerald Into has won all 4 bouts to date, and done so with conviction, all opponents dispatched by ominous KO !

This has all the makings of the "fight of the day" -  we have all the question marks hanging over the ring return of an almost mythical action figure in Nguyen Van Hai, countered by the rapidly developing but already dangerous Jerald Into.

IF YOU DON'T LOVE THIS, YOU DON'T LOVE BOXING !

SUAREZ DEFENDS WBA ASIA BELT vs YAP
June 19, 2022

SUAREZ DEFENDS WBA ASIA BELT vs YAP

FORMER Olympian Charly Suarez returns to the ring on Aug. 7 to defend his World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia super featherweight belt against what should be one of his toughest opponent to date, veteran Marjohn Yap, in the main event of UKC Tiger - “Annihilation” at the Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Center in Parañaque City.

The 33-year-old Suarez hopes to get a world ranking and an impressive win over an experienced former regional champion like Yap could boost him up the super-featherweight ladder.

Suarez started the year 2022 with a 12th-round technical knockout of prospect Tomjune Mangubat to win the vacant WBA Asia super-featherweight strap in Parañaque City last March. He followed it up with a unanimous decision win over tough Junny Salogaol last June 10 in Bohol.

Yap, on the other hand, is on a three-fight slump, fighting in the US and Dubai.

The 33-year-old Yap lost to one-time world title challenger Angelo Leo, undefeated American up-and-comer Angel Alejandro and unbeaten Cuban prospect Jadier Herrera.

Before his short campaign in the US, Yap had an impressive seven-year stint in Japan, where he won the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) bantamweight belt and went 12-5. He won against the likes of former interim WBA minimumweight champion Juan Jose Landaeta and three-time world title challenger Hiroyuki Kudaka.

Suarez is 11-0 with seven knockouts, while Yap is 30-16 with 15 knockouts.

Also featured in the same card are two World Boxing Foundation (WBF) regional bouts.

Clyde Azarcon (17-4-1, 6 KOs) fights against battle-scarred veteran Lito Dante (18-11-4, 10 KOs) for the vacant WBF International minimumweight strap, while Allan Villanueva (11-2, 8 KOs) slugs it out with Al Toyogon (12-6-1, 8 KOs) for the vacant WBF Asia Pacific lightweight belt.

Also booked in the undercard is Vietnamese Van Hai Nguyen (2-0, 1 KO) taking on fellow unbeaten prospect Jerald Into (4-0, 4 KOs).

"ANNIHILATION" VIETNAM STYLE !
June 15, 2022

"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.

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!

SCORING IN BOXING...THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM....

SCORING IN BOXING...THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM....

So, you are watching a boxing match and it is clear that Boxer A is getting his faced punched in by the Boxer B.  After many rounds, the final bell rings and you are 100% certain that the Boxer B had won the fight but suddenly judges award the win to the Boxer A and you are left thinking "what just happened?".  This post will shed some light as to how this could easily happen.

Danilo Creati fights Tran Duc Tho in Victory8 Welcome to Vietnam

At VSP, we have our own boxing gym (VSP Boxing) where boxers under company management are trained for professional matches.  We also have our own boxing promotions company (VSP Promotions).  We even have our own boxing event brand called Victory8.  What I am about to tell you is something which happens behind the curtains that may help you understand why some boxing matches end up favoring a boxer who you are quite sure lost the match.

Winner Nguyen Van Duong posing with the ring girls in Victory8 Legends of Hoan Kiem

To fully understand what happens, you need to put yourself in the shoe of the Boxer and his/her manager. the manager generally thinks that if the boxer has an "unbeaten" record, it will help him go up the rank.  This achieves two objectives.  It can lead to the manager asking more money for the boxer to fight from the promoter.  Secondly, the manager is hoping that a streak of victorious matches will allow the boxer to fight for the championship title which can be quite lucrative.  Depending on the country/region, a regional championship title can earn 5~10,000 USD while world title can be anywhere from 50,000~1,000,000 dollars earning per fight depending on many factors which I will post another time.  So, if you are the manager for the boxer, you would think your job is to try to get the boxer to fight an opponent whom you are quite confident can be beaten.  (This often leads to a terrible quality fight because it is lopsided match).

Promoter (that's us) is the company that organizes and pays for everything and everyone.  Here, "everyone" includes the boxers, referees, and the judges.  Now, what happens when boxers are managed by a company instead of an individual? And what if that company happens to also be the "Promoter" of an event in which those boxers fight?  

Jye Lane Taylor vs Nguyen Van Hai in Victory8 Saigon Fight night

Let's think about a situation whereVSP has organized a boxing event in Vietnam between our Vietnamese fighters and Thai fighters. To make the scoring "fair", VSP flies in referees & judges (R&J) from Japan, China, and the Philippines.  The promoter would be paying for their flight tickets, their fees, hotel, meals, as well as transportation.  Lobbying can start even before the R&J arrive in Vietnam.

How about this: The promoter upgrades the flights of R&J to a business class and personally picks them up from the airport.  The promoter then put them in a nice hotel with complementary drinks and takes them out to good restaurants.  There, he talks about how wonderful some of the boxers are in the event (our boxers of course).  The promoter never once said who the judges should vote for but as you can see, the R&J may have started to develop a certain bias.

Vu Thanh Dat is declared victorious against Jino Rodrigo in Victory8 Welcome to Vietnam

Did you know that R&J are often part time jobs for many? Imagine you are one of the judges invited to come to Vietnam.  You are treated very well, paid well, and even taken around by the promoter for shopping.  You know that some of the boxers in the event are managed by the promoter.  Now, let's say the fight was a close fight, who would you favor?  If you voted against the promoter's boxer, maybe you won't be invited in the next event.  Perhaps your professionalism would be so solid that none of these treatments would affect your judgement but would you be able to say the same for all of your peers?

At VSP, we don't believe in setting up our boxers to win in a match. How would a boxer improve if he is fighting an opponent worse than him all the time? We think this is a remanent of the old ways. Instead, we match our fighters such that the spectators would enjoy watching!  What is the point of putting up boring shit fights that nobody wants to watch?  We tell all our boxers, "It is not our job to make you win.  It is our job to give you worthy challengers that will push yourself to be better" The boxing world need to change and embrace a new paradigm where the focus should be putting up fights that are 50:50 and that leads to exciting fights that viewers can appreciate and thus drive more following.  

Let's change the old ways and make Boxing Great Again!

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.

WHO NEEDS CHRISTMAS ???

When you've got Inoue v Tapales ready to go !
Today's weigh in : Inoue 121.6 Tapales 121.2

On Tuesday, ​WBC/WBO junior featherweight titlist Naoya Inoue will face IBF/WBA counterpart Marlon Tapales in a 12-round contest at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.

​The two will meet to decide who will claim the vacant Ring Magazine belt and become the undisputed champion at 122 pounds.

Inoue, The Ring’s No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter, has devoured all put before him en route to claiming world titles at 108, 115, 118 and 122 pounds. The big-punching Japanese “Monster” has confirmed his moniker in demolishing the likes of Omar Narvaez (KO 2), Jamie McDonnell (TKO 1), Juan Carlos Payano (KO 1) and Emmanuel Rodriguez (KO 2). However, it’s his pair of triumphs over four-weight world champion Nonito Donaire that provided Inoue with considerable acclaim. He edged Donaire (UD 12) in an instant classic that was later named 2019 Fight of the Year by The Ring, then stopped him in the second round of their rematch.

Inoue became the undisputed bantamweight champion when he dominated and stopped Paul Butler in 11 one-sided rounds. With nothing left to conquer at 118, Inoue moved up in weight and looked just as impressive as ever bludgeoning Stephen Fulton (TKO 8), the consensus No. 1-rated junior featherweight, to add the WBC and WBO belts to his growing list of accolades.

Tapales, The Ring’s No. 2-rated junior featherweight, worked his way up through the ranks in the Philippines before narrowly losing to David Sanchez (MD 12) in Mexico in 2013. In late 2015, he upset the previously unbeaten Shohei Omari (TKO 2) in a WBO bantamweight title eliminator in Japan. He then headed to Thailand and twice got off the canvas to stop Pungluang Sor Singyu (TKO 11) to pick up the belt. In his first defense, Tapales went back to Japan to face Omari in a rematch. Although he missed weight and was stripped of his title, he was able to stop Omari in the 11th round.

Over a year of inactivity followed, but Tapales returned with three wins before losing to Ryosuke Iwasa (TKO 11) in an IBF 122-pound title eliminator. He bounced back with three more wins, including an impressive stoppage over Hiroaki Teshigawara (TKO 2) in an IBF eliminator. He then met Murodjon Akhmadaliev in April 2023 for the IBF and WBA titles and surprised the defending champion by winning a 12-round split decision.

Inoue (25-0, 22 knockouts) is at the peak of his powers. He appears to be the more powerful man as well as the better boxer. Might this lead to overconfidence? It’s difficult to see what Tapales (37-3, 19 KOs) can do to beat Inoue. Perhaps he can show toughness, make it into a dogfight and hope to land something that can do some damage? While Inoue is expected to not just win but dominate, can he possibly be as awe-inspiring as he was against Fulton? Tapales has wanted this fight since he upset Akhmadaliev earlier this year. Do he and his team see a weakness in Inoue’s armor?

NGUYỄN TRUNG KHÁN RISES FROM THE DEAD

"It's not how we fall - it's how we get up again"
Crazy scenes in the undercard match last night when whiz kid Nguyễn Trung Khan got dropped hard in the final seconds of the opening round.
The knockdown meant Khan was behind 10-8 on the scorecards, and now needed to win all 3 remaining rounds to be victorious. 
Not an easy task when your opponent is NGUYỄN XUÂN HIẾU !!!
But junior champion Khan kept his cool, and went on to score a memorable debut win !
VSP PRO #11: Dương Đức Bảo vs. Phạm Bá Hợi - 53kg
December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Dương Đức Bảo vs. Phạm Bá Hợi - 53kg

Trận đấu tâm điểm của sự kiện chứng kiến tay đấm Dương Đức Bảo - HCV Muay trẻ thế giới 2022, người từng thắng knockout thuyết phục trước võ sỹ nhiều kinh nghiệm Lương Nguyễn Công Khải, so găng với nhà vô địch kickboxing SEA Games 30 Phạm Bá Hợi.

Dù rất được trông đợi nhưng sự cẩn trọng của hai võ sỹ khiến tốc độ trận đấu tương đối chậm. Hai hiệp đầu tiên không võ sỹ nào vượt trội hay tung ra được đòn đấm thực sự nặng ký. Những tình huống jab hay đấm móc trúng đích hiếm hoi dường như chia đều cho cả hai võ sỹ.

Ở hai hiệp cuối cùng kịch bản không thay đổi. Bá Hợi có một vài tình huống móc trái chất lượng và 1 cú upper-cut nhưng tiếc là chỉ đi trúng phần trán của Đức Bảo. Phải đến khoảng 2 phút cuối Đức Bảo mới tăng tốc áp sát và liên tục ra đòn khiến Bá Hợi khá vất vả phòng thủ, nhưng đột biến cũng không đến ở thời khắc này.

Không võ sỹ nào thực sự vượt trội, không ngạc nhiên khi cả 3 giám định đều chấm điểm cân bằng 38-38, đồng nghĩa với kết quả hòa cho Bá Hợi - Đức Bảo.

December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Nguyễn Xuân Hiếu vs. Nguyễn Trung Khán - 49kg

Trận áp chót của sự kiện thực sự gay cấn và suýt chút nữa có "địa chấn". Tay đấm trẻ tài năng Trung Khán nhanh chóng thể hiện kỹ thuật thi đấu cực tốt khi áp đảo Xuân Hiếu. Lối di chuyển thông minh cùng những combo đòn chất lượng, hiệu quả giúp Trung Khán tỏ ra vượt trội.

Nhưng bất ngờ đến ở cuối hiệp này khi Xuân Hiếu có cú móc trái nặng ký khiến Trung Khán ngã xuống sàn. Đòn knock-down của Xuân Hiếu khiến các khán giả thật sự phấn khích, dù nó chưa thể mang đến chiến thắng tức thì cho chủ nhân.

Bỏ lại phía sau "tai nạn" bất ngờ trên, nhìn chung cả 3 hiệp đấu còn lại Trung Khán đã thi đấu tốt hơn. Thể hình thấp không ngăn tay đấm trẻ này tung ra những cú đấm chất lượng giúp anh lội ngược dòng bằng chiến thắng bằng tính điểm không đồng thuận (2-1) trước Xuân Hiếu.

December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Huỳnh Đoàn Tuấn Thành vs. Nguyễn Văn Tình Em - 52kg

Phong cách "ngổ ngáo", lối đánh xông xáo áp sát đầy năng lượng giúp Nguyễn Văn Tình Em gây ra nhiều áp lực cho đối thủ. Tuy vậy, nhìn về hiệu quả ra đòn thì Huỳnh Đoàn Tuấn Thành cũng không kém cạnh, dù liên tục phải di chuyển nhằm giữ cự ly hợp lý.

Kịch bản ở hiệp 2 tiếp tục chứng kiến Tình Em "tăng tốc" gây áp lực. Chi tiết đáng chú ý nhất ở hiệp này là khoảng thời gian 30 giây cuối khi Tình Em liên tục dồn ép Tuấn Thành vào 2 góc đài và tung ra các combo đòn.

Trận đấu thực sự "nóng" lên ở khoảng 1 phút rưỡi cuối hiệp 4 khi Tình Em áp ra ra đòn liên tục trong khi Tuấn Thành thể lực suy giảm chỉ có thể di chuyển liên tục né đòn hoặc phòng thủ chịu trận. Dù không tìm thấy đòn knock-out nhưng chung cuộc Tình Em vẫn có chiến thắng thuyết phục khi cả 3 giám định chấm thắng 39-37 cho tay đấm này.

VSP PRO #11: Đỗ Văn Thiện Ngân vs. Nguyễn Việt Anh - 57kg

Đỗ Văn Thiện Ngân tiếp đón "tân binh" sàn VSP Pro Nguyễn Việt Anh bằng các tổ hợp đòn chất lượng, hiệu quả. Rõ ràng kinh nghiệm thi đấu ở VSP Pro cùng lối đánh linh hoạt giúp Thiện Ngân thi đấu hiệu quả hơn. Các tình huống ra đòn của Thiện Ngân chất lượng hơn hẳn tay đấm trẻ Việt Anh đến từ thành Nam. Đã không ít lần những đòn jab uy lực của Thiện Ngân không ít lần xuyên qua tay chắn đi trúng mặt Việt Anh.

Không bất ngờ khi Thiện Ngân giành chiến thắng tuyệt đối với điểm số 40-36 từ cả 3 giám định.

VSP PRO #11: Đặng Đức Huyên vs. Hoàng Nguyễn Minh Quân - 67kg
December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Đặng Đức Huyên vs. Hoàng Nguyễn Minh Quân - 67kg

Tay đấm Đặng Đức Huyên tỏ ra rất tự tin và "ngầu" với khả năng chịu đòn, nhưng thực tế anh cũng dính đòn nhiều hơn hẳn từ đối thủ Hoàng Nguyễn Minh Quân. Chủ động áp sát, kết hợp hiệu quả các combo đòn từ body-shot và đến các cú đấm móc vào vùng mặt, Minh Quân ghi điểm tốt hơn ở 2 hiệp đầu tiên.

Kịch bản không thay đổi ở 2 hiệp cuối khi Minh Quân vẫn giữ thế chủ động và cũng không cần quá vội vã để tìm đòn knock-out. Trong khi đó, cách trả đòn "lắt nhắt" không giúp Đức Huyên tạo ra bất ngờ. Kết quả chung cuộc Minh Quân thắng điểm tuyệt đối khi cả 3 giám định đều chấm 40-36 nghiêng về tay đấm này.

VSP PRO #11: Nguyễn Ngọc Quyền vs. Nguyễn Triệu Vy - 79kg
December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Nguyễn Ngọc Quyền vs. Nguyễn Triệu Vy - 79kg

Trận đấu "nặng ký" nhất ở VSP Pro chứng kiến một màn đôi công hấp dẫn khác. Ở hạng cân tới 79 kg, những đòn đánh của cả hai tay đấm Ngọc Quyền và Triệu Vy đều rất chất lượng. Trong 2 hiệp đầu tiên không có võ sỹ nào thực sự vượt trội, nhưng rõ ràng những đòn móc trái phải của Triệu Vy để lại ấn tượng tốt hơn.

Hiệp 3 chứng kiến Triệu Vy tích cực di chuyển áp sát và anh cũng có một cú tay sau và một đòn móc rất mạnh khiến gương mặt của Ngọc Quyền bật ra phía sau. Rõ ràng thể lực của Ngọc Quyền đã xuống nhanh và đòn đánh của anh cũng thiếu chuẩn xác trước khả năng áp sát của Triệu Vy. Kịch bản này kéo sang hiệp 4 và không ngạc nhiên khi Triệu Vy giành chiến thắng chung cuộc bằng tính điểm, dù Ngọc Quyền nỗ lực vùng lên ở khoảng 20 giây cuối.

December 22, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Phạm Quốc Ngữ vs. Nguyễn Huỳnh Phúc Tiến - 55kg

Hai tay đấm nhập cuộc rất tích cực và có hiệp 1 tưng bừng. Quốc Ngữ có cú over-hand khiến Phúc Tiến choáng váng, ngay sau đó không kém cạnh Phúc Tiến cũng ép đài và tung ra combo đòn chất lượng ghi điểm tốt.

Hiệp 2 chứng kiến 2 võ sỹ tiếp tục đổi đòn hấp dẫn. Quốc Ngữ tập trung vào đòn tay phải uy lực trong khi Phúc Tiến hiệu quả và tỏ ra nhỉnh hơn với combo đòn jab tay phải và tay sau cực tốt.

Trong 2 hiệp đấu cuối kịch bản không thay đổi khi cả hai không thể bứt hẳn lên và tìm thấy đòn knock-out quyết định. Chung cuộc, Phúc Tiến giành chiến thắng bằng tính điểm khi cả 3 giám định đều chấm 39-37 cho tay đấm này.

December 23, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Trần Tấn Quang Đạo vs. Trương Hải Biền - 63.5kg

Cuộc so găng thú vị giữa tay đấm được đánh giá "dày dạn kinh nghiệm sàn VSP Pro" Trần Tấn Quang Đạo với đối thủ mới 17 tuổi Trương Hải Biền. Sau hiệp đấu đầu tiên thăm dò, chủ động giữ cự ly, Quang Đạo bắt đầu điều chỉnh chiến thuật và ra đòn hiệu quả hơn hẳn ở hiệp 2. Những tình huống tung ra combo đòn ở cự ly trung bình và gần giúp Quang Đạo có thế trận lấn lướt hơn hẳn trước Hải Biền.

Bước vào hiệp 3, khá bất ngờ khi thế trận đảo chiều. Hải Biền áp sát, bắt nhịp tốt hơn và tung ra nhiều đòn đấm chất lượng, hiệu quả. Sự luống cuống từ phía Quang Đạo ở hiệp này khiến nhiều người phải bất ngờ.

Trong hiệp đấu cuối cùng, cả hai tích cực trao đổi đòn ở cự ly gần. Quang Đạo không để mất thế trận như ở hiệp 3 nhưng anh cũng không thể lấn lướt trước đàn em Hải Biền. Sự cân bằng kéo trận đấu tới bảng điểm phân định thắng bại và tại đây tay đấm 17 tuổi tiếp tục tạo ra bất ngờ với chiến thắng không đồng thuận (2-1). Phần thưởng xứng đáng cho Hải Biền.

VSP PRO #11: Trần Xuân Hưng vs. Nguyễn Đức Hoàng Thông - 61kg

Trần Xuân Hưng nhỉnh hơn về chiều cao và dù mới 20 tuổi nhưng với kinh nghiệm tập các môn võ và 2 năm tập luyện thi đấm boxing giúp anh được đánh giá cao hơn đối thủ mới có gần 1 năm tập luyện Nguyễn Đức Hoàng Thông. Tuy vậy, rất ngạc nhiên khi Hoàng Thông thi đấu chững chạc và không ngại đôi công.

Sau hiệp 1 khá cân bằng, Hoàng Thông bất ngờ ép đài và tung ra loạt đòn cực nặng, đáng chú ý có cú upper-cut bằng tay phải nặng ký khiến Xuân Hưng choáng váng. Sau 1 phút 30 giây hiệp này, trọng tài buộc phải dừng trận đấu. Hoàng Thông giành chiến thắng knock-out kỹ thuật.

VSP PRO #11: Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long vs. Trần Tuấn Anh - 66kg
December 23, 2023

VSP PRO #11: Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long vs. Trần Tuấn Anh - 66kg

Trần Tuấn Anh bù đắp sự non nớt kinh nghiệm bằng sự máu lửa, anh chủ động ép đài và có 1 cú móc phải chất lượng ở giữa hiệp 1. Tuy vậy, kinh nghiệm giúp Hoàng Long ghi điểm tốt hơn bằng những đòn phản công hiệu quả, từ đòn jab đến đòn tay sau.

Sự chênh lệch về kinh nghiệm càng thể hiện rõ hơn ở hiệp 2 khi Hoàng Long liên tiếp có những combo đòn ăn điểm cực tốt. Ngược lại, Tuấn Anh không thể tìm ra chiến thuật hợp lý để đối phó. Tình hình càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn cho "tân binh" Tuấn Anh khi anh liên tục dính những đòn móc trái phải cực nặng từ Hoàng Long. Thậm chí cuối hiệp 3 còn có cảm giác Tuấn Anh sắp sửa bị knock-out đến nơi.

Bước vào hiệp cuối, khi thể lực suy giảm Tuấn Anh gần như chịu trận. Anh liên tục dính đòn và chỉ có may mắn cùng ý chí mới giúp tay đấm này không "đo sàn" trước những combo đòn chất lượng của Hoàng Long. Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận tuyệt đối cho Hoàng Long không cần bàn cãi.

PHẠM BÁ HỢI MAKES FIGHTING AN ART FORM

Pham Ba Hoi is without doubt one of Vietnam's best technicians in the sport of Kick Boxing. 
A 7 times National Champion, the 28 year old crowned those multiple achievements with a SEA Games gold medal at the 2019 tournament held in Manila.
And if you're a Kick boxer, and you want to try boxing, surely it requires only half the effort ?
Well, that works in theory. 
But here is the reality.
This Saturday night, Pham Ba Hoi makes his debut as a professional boxer against Duong Duc Bao, a 20 year old southpaw who looked outstanding when winning by knockout at his own debut. 
Duc Bao, despite his inexperience, looks a top prospect in the making, and the confidence he showed in his win was impossible to miss.This kid is no pushover, and will not be overawed by the reputation of the older Pham Ba Hoi. 
This is a cracking bout between two future stars.
It's the main event and is very likely the fight of the night !

HUỲNH ĐOÀN TUẤN THÀNH AT VSP PRO 11

19 year old Huynh Doan Tuan Thanh was impressive at debut last August, winning a unanimous decision over a super fit Ho Minh Chieu.
Tuan showed a lot of attributes in that bout, most especially, changing stance and approach angle to confuse and open up attacks on his opponent. 
This Saturday night presents the improving Vung Tau switch hitter with an even bigger challenge. He meets Nguyen Van Tinh Em, a medalist in both youth and open championships. Despite his accomplishments, Tinh Em is only 17 years of age, and is the youngest competitor at VSP PRO 11.
Both these boys are going to have big upside in the future, and this bout shapes as one of the best fights of the night this Saturday. 

VSP PRO 11 live from VSP Gym this Saturday night. Admission is free but seating is limited, so please arrive early. First bout at 5.30pm.

DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO IS YOUR "MAIN" MAN !!
December 18, 2023

DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO IS YOUR "MAIN" MAN !!

A sensational boxing debut in October by Duong Duc Bao had plenty of people asking to see more - and more you shall see. 
To say Bao was impressive in his first fight is an understatement. 
He totally dominated a far more experienced boxer, and forced the stoppage. The 20 year old produced volume, power punches and created some nice angles off a southpaw stance. It was literally an overwhelming performance. 
But matching fighters can be a difficult game.
A 7 times national kickboxing champion and 2019 Sea Games gold medalist named Pham Ba Hoi wants to debut as a pro boxer. 
But hey, who the hell would want to fight a guy with this sort of resume ?

Duong Duc Bao - that's who !
Ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn, this is our main event. ENJOY !

Nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo và lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải du đấu tại Hàn Quốc

Ba võ sĩ Trần Văn Thảo, Nguyễn Văn Hải và Đinh Hồng Quân sẽ cùng nhau tranh tài trước các đối thủ nước ngoài tại sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra ở Incheon, Hàn Quốc.
Cụ thể, sự kiện mà ba võ sĩ Việt Nam sẽ tham gia tranh tài là sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức với tâm điểm là ba trận đấu tranh đai và bảo vệ đai vô địch.
Cuộc đối đầu chính của sự kiện là trận bảo vệ đai vô địch WBO Global hạng cân Minimumweight của nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc Dianxing Zhu (11-1, 10 KOs) trước đại diện đến từ Philippines Richard Garde (8-1, 7 KOs). Trước đó, tại sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match diễn ra ở Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu tháng 11 vừa qua, nhà vô địch người Trung Quốc đã bảo vệ thành chiếc đai vô địch của mình khi đánh bại võ sĩ thách đấu từ Thái Lan Sanchai Yotboon.
Hai trận đấu tâm điểm khác của sự kiện là các cuộc so tài cho chiếc đai vô địch WBO Oriental giữa Olimjon Nazarov (28-5, 15 KOs) vs. Wulan Tuoleazi (15-5-2, 7 KOs) ở hạng cân Flyweight và Takahiro Tai (4-1, 4 KOs) vs. Lap Cheong Cheong (10-0, 4 KOs) ở hạng cân Super Flyweight.
Đặc biệt, sự kiện quyền anh chuyên nghiệp diễn ra tại Incheon, Hàn Quốc lần này thu hút được sự quan tâm lớn của người hâm mộ đến từ Việt Nam bởi sự tham gia của các võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải, Trần Văn Thảo và Đinh Hồng Quân.

Lão tướng Nguyễn Văn Hải đang có một năm hoạt động tích cực khi liên tiếp tham gia các sự kiện quyền anh lớn nhỏ cả trong nước lẫn quốc tế. Lần gần nhất thượng đài tại sự kiện boxing quốc tế WBO Global Prelude, lão tướng của Việt Nam chỉ mất chưa tới 12 giây để hạ gục võ sĩ người Bangladesh Abdul Motalib.
Mặt khác, nhà vô địch IBA thế giới Trần Văn Thảo cũng không hề kém cạnh người đàn anh khi đã có một năm 2023 thành công. Trần Văn Thảo đã đánh bại võ sĩ người Mexico giàu kinh nghiệm Kenbun Torres trong lần tái xuất ở sự kiện quyền Anh WBO Global Title Match để nâng thành tích chuyên nghiệp của mình lên con số 16-1 ấn tượng.

THE WOLVERINE IS GUNNING FOR DISASTER
December 16, 2023

THE WOLVERINE IS GUNNING FOR DISASTER

 This is set to be THE fight of the day - JonJon "the Wolverine" Estrada going toe to toe with the man aptly named "Disaster" - Jhon Gemino.
Gemino certainly ranks as one of the most fearless and offensive pinoy fighters of recent years, and this rambunctious pugilist has enhanced a reputation of taking on all comers. 
But Estrada has enhanced a cult like status of his own - his stalking, predatory stance combined with almost neanderthal like brush strokes - but when he hits, they stay hit ! 
And it's because of this penchant for violence and emphatic finishes that the Wolverine will always be compelling viewing - 17 wins, and yet the judges were only required 3 times. 
Gemino certainly has the boxing pedigree in this contest, and has plenty of pop to keep Estrada on notice. 
And he only needs to hold the Wolverine on a tight leash for 6 rounds.

But those 6 rounds will seem like an ETERNITY!
Great fight !

GENESIS SERVANIA HITS KOREA JAN 13TH

GENESIS SERVANIA HITS KOREA JAN 13TH

Paradise City Casino will stage it's first ever international boxing event this January - and they don't do things by half measures.
The new Casino hotel based in Incheon is working with Cocky Buffalo to bring the best in Asia to their inaugural event, and with a host of countries represented, the Philippines has two very interesting inclusions.
Richard Garde steps up in class to take on China's minimumweight star Dianxing Zhu, and despite his relative inexperience, he boasts an 8-1 7KO record that gives him a puncher's chance. This bout will be the main event, and his match against the rugged Zhu will be for the WBO Global belt.
But even more compelling is the return of Genesis Servania, who when at his best, is simply world class !
His war with unbeaten Mexican Oscar Valdez is testament to the fact, and his record of 34-4 echoes that he has layers of experience. 
Servania resumed recently in an exhibition bout in Vietnam, but aside from looking "heavy" at 65kg, he looked in beautiful touch. The Bacolod star dropped his Indonesian rival in the second round, doing so with a mixture of well placed body rips finishing with shots to the head.
Genesis Servania will drop to Lightweight 61kg for his Korean bout, and he is matched with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải. This bout is expected to be a really true test of where the Philippines boxer sits in his comeback journey. 
More news in this fight and event coming soon.

AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN HEAR A PIN DROP

That is the sound of silence !
Equal parts stealthy and lethal, one of the Philippines' best fight technicians Arnel "the Silencer" Baconaje returns to the ring this coming Monday. 
Baconaje is part of a top notch UNSTOPPABLE fight card to be held at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque Manila. 
And expect the champ to be in sparkling and devastating form - he has just recently returned from fight camp in Baguio where he helped prepare Marlon Tapales for his impending clash with "the Monster" Naoya Inoue.

MARK JOHN YAP READY TO GO SNAP SNAP

MARK JOHN YAP READY TO GO SNAP SNAP

Vietnam and VSP visitor from the Philippines Mark John Yap is set to finish 2023 the way it started - with a BANG !
Yap defeated the tough Leonardo Doronio by knockout in January, then took time out for the birth of his first child Yuri. 
Despite putting on some weight, Yap came to Vietnam and performed an exhibition against national team boxer Nguyễn Hà Minh, and though looking rusty, he dropped his classy opponent multiple times in the final round for an impressive win. 
Vietnam hosted Mark John Yap once more in July, when he headed to Ho Tram and bested Hasan Sikdar  - once more by knockout. 
The VSP sponsored boxer returns to the ring next Monday on a mammoth card to be held at the Elorde Sports Centre in Parañaque Manila.  And looking at the shape he is in, another knockout would certainly not surprise. 
Mark John Yap ranks with Charly Suarez as amongst the very best foreign boxers to ever come to Vietnam, and we really hope to see him here again in 2024.
VSP PRO BOXERS GAIN "RECOGNITION"

VSP PRO BOXERS GAIN "RECOGNITION"

Lots of great bouts and individual performances at VSP PRO this year, and it's fantastic to see local businesses acknowledging all the hard work that our fighters put in.
Thai Hoang Huy has been one of the most prolific boxers on the circuit, competing in 6 bouts for a 4 win and 2 loss record. His most recent bout was at The Grand Ho Tram where he got to battle Botswana #1 - a huge achievement considering Huy has only been boxing for a year.
This week the popular nightspot Palazzo (located in the Sheraton hotel) acknowledged Thai Hoang Huy and their ongoing support. 
Congratulations to Palazzo and boxer Thai Hoang Huy.

NEW FACES AND FAMILIAR FACES DECEMBER 23

VSP PR0 11 is just around the corner and promises to unearth some future stars once again.
But amongst the host of new faces, December 23 will see the return of some of the more regular and better known VSP PRO competitors. 
Tran Tan Quang Dao is arguably the most improved boxer this year, and will return to the ring for VSP PRO 11.
Despite losing his first two bouts against top opposition, the Hanoi fighter regrouped, and quickly responded with two tradesman-like wins on the bounce. Dao produced the best boxing performance of the night in his most recent victory in August, working off a beautiful jab and landing nice combinations on the inside.
Tran Tan Quang Dao has proved a super popular fixture at VSP PRO this year, and we look forward to seeing more of this guy on December 23.
Fight card information coming soon.

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"
December 9, 2023

HANOI "HITMAN" IN KOREA "MEGA FIGHT"

Vietnam's #1 boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải has shot up the rankings since going pro, so fast in fact, that he has been offered a fight in Korea next month against a world class opponent. 
A multiple national champion in the amateurs, Nguyễn Văn Hải has won 5 of 6 since going pro - and has been extremely impressive since doing so.
The lone blemish for the VSP boxer was a loss to star Philippines lightweight Jerald Into, an unbeaten 9-0 southpaw who Hải faced after more than two years out of the ring. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải caused a media sensation at his most recent performance, knocking out an unbeaten foreign boxer with his very first punch. Bangladesh boxer Abdul Mottalib was the victim of an overhand right, and suffered his first loss in 9 fights at the hands of the ruthless Vietnam champion. 
The "Hanoi Hitman" will star for Vietnam 🇻🇳 at a huge international event to be held at the Paradise City Casino on January 13th, with news on his opponent and fight card coming soon. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải will be in Ho Chi Minh City on December 23rd, where he will perform a 6 round exhibition at VSP PRO in preparation for the big match in Korea.
More updates coming soon.

VIETNAM TRIO MAKING WAVES IN TAIWAN

VIETNAM TRIO MAKING WAVES IN TAIWAN

There is little doubt that Vietnam have made significant progress in the professional fight sport in recent times - both in the sign up of new boxers, and also, the vastly elevated standards of referees and judges. This is in no small part attributed to the existence of Vietnam Boxing Organization, who now enable pro bouts to be properly regulated and internationally accredited.
Testament to the hard work of all, 3 🇻🇳 Viets will be rewarded with a trip to Taiwan on December 16th to take part in an event there.
16 year old prospect Dinh Minh Tuan and Cocky Buffalo's Pham Huu Thuong will compete in 4 round bouts, and both have excellent chances, being recent winners at VSP PRO. 

Nguyen Nhu Duong (VBO Official) has been an impressive performer this year in the role of officiating bouts, and will create some history by lending his skills to the Taiwan event.
The inclusion of the Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxers was made possible by VSP Promotions, who are looking forward to providing lots of international opportunities to local performers in 2024.
The Taiwan show will be supervised by PBC, in collaboration with the Vietnam Boxing Organization.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI WARM UP BOUT DECEMBER 23

The "Hanoi Hitman" will return to VSP PRO this month, in advance of a major fight scheduled for Korea on January 13th. 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is currently ranked pound for pound #1 in Vietnam, and it is expected that he will take on a world ranked opponent at the Paradise City Hotel and Casino in Incheon next month.
It is always a treat to see this Vietnam legend fight live, and it's a major coup for VSP PRO 11 to host an exhibition bout for the Hitman Hải on Saturday December 23rd. 
And for those who have not been lucky enough to have experienced it before - a word of advice.
Do not miss your chance to see this Vietnam champion in the flesh !

BOTSWANA BOXER TO RETURN TO HCMC

VSP PRO 11 is set to be the biggest and best of the year !
There are soooo many talented boxers that were itching to fight, so expect to see a huge card on December 23 (at this stage, we have at least 12 fights !)
And of special interest to boxing fans will be the return to Vietnam of Moabi Ngaka (pictured) - a recent winner at the Ho Tram RUMBLE in Vung Tau. 
Moabi is a former youth champ in his native Botswana, and it's likely that he will perform a 6 round spar with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải (who is a heavier weight class boxer)
Both fighters will use the VSP PRO show as a much needed "hit out" before heading to Korea for big fights at Paradise City on January 13th.

More news on the VSP PRO 11 fight card coming soon.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI IS TOP OF THE CHARTS !

It's no secret that Vietnam has plenty of boxing talent, and the industry's record keeper BoxRec has a unique algorithm that ranks boxers overall and in their respective weight classes.
BoxRec also compute a pound for pound list, and whilst these always open for intetesting debate, here is their latest compilation for Vietnam. 
And there are some great names in that list - most especially Nguyễn Văn Hải, the King Truong Dinh Hoang and Vietnam's best known pro "Trigger" Tran Van Thao.
Congratulations to all of the Vietnam boxers that have worked so hard to make it onto the professional stage, and to BoxRec for publishing their achievements. 
Vietnam 🇻🇳 now has more than 100 accredited professional boxers - AND GROWING !!!!!

NGAKA: "I WANNA COME BACK TO VIETNAM!"

VSP PRO 11 will have INTERNATIONAL flavour !

Botswana boxer Moabi Ngaka made history recently as the first African to fight in Vietnam. 
And the boy revered as "the Eagle" had such a great time Ho Chi Minh City, that he says he wants to come back - ASAP !

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to get back into the ring again, and the Ho Tram show was like nothing I had previously experienced. And being the first African boxer, it made it very exciting. But the most memorable for me and my coach Simba was how friendly the Vietnam people are, and how much love they showed us. It will stay with me for my whole life".
"I heard that VSP are doing a show on December 23rd - and I want in ! 
I will be fighting in Korea in January, so it will be perfect preparation for me. I know Vietnam has some killers, so I like that vibe too - the Eagle is willing to fight anyone !!"
Moabi Ngaka is a confirmed starter for VSP PRO 11 on December 23rd, as is popular local boxer Thai Hoang Huy (pictured) who was the recent opponent of the Eagle at The Grand Ho Tram. 

Updates on VSP PRO 11 coming soon.

GANOZA READY TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE 🔥

GANOZA READY TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE 🔥

It's almost GO TIME for another great Dragon Fire show in Perth, and main event boxers Alex Winwood and Cris Ganoza looked pumped and ready at today's weigh-in. 
Star Aussie Alex Winwood checked in at 48.35 kg, whilst Ganoza tipped the scales at 47.75kg.
This is the first time in Australia for the Philippines boxer Cris Ganoza, and the veteran of 20 wins was certainly not daunted by his impending task judging by the face off.
Alex Winwood is a prodigious young talent, but his lack of pro experience will be put to the test in tomorrow night's huge bout. 
The match is expected to be very offensive, and the pinoy Ganoza has promised to return any favours with interest !
Young dragons are ready to breathe fire 🔥 !!
ELORDE STAR IN THE LAND DOWN UNDER

ELORDE STAR IN THE LAND DOWN UNDER

Big things coming this Friday night in Perth Australia, when Cris Ganoza takes on hot Aussie prospect Alex Winwood.
Despite a career record of 20 wins, the southpaw Ganoza is ranked #74 in the world, whilst Winwood with only 3 wins, is ranked #11.
Be in no doubt, Alex Winwood has huge potential, and is being fast tracked towards a world title. 
But the Philippines' Cris Ganoza is definitely no speed hump, and he represents easily the toughest test in the Aussie boxer's short professional career.

VIETNAM 🇻🇳 WELCOMES BOTSWANA 🇧🇼

Botswana boxer Moabi Ngaka arrived in Saigon late last night, yet was up early this morning and hard at work at VSP Boxing Gym. 
Ngaka makes headlines as the first Botswana fighter to venture to Vietnam, when he appears at a big international event to be held in Vũng Tàu this Saturday night.
The Botswana boxer, known as the Eagle, will compete against local Vietnam talent Thai Hoang Huy over 6 rounds.
The event has been put together by top local promoter Mr. Sang Bum Kim of Cocky Buffalo Promotions, and will take place at the prestigious Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino. 
Moabi Ngaka is pictured this morning at VSP Gym with trainer and former national team boxer Thabang Motsewabeng.

"TRIGGER" THAO GETS A MEXICAN GUN FIGHT

"TRIGGER" THAO GETS A MEXICAN GUN FIGHT

When you're talking boxing, you're talking tough and Mexican in the same breath !

So Vietnam's Tran Van Thao aka "the Trigger", despite a ring absence of more than a year, wasn't looking for anything easy when he chose Mexican Kenbun Torres as his opponent.

As you can see, both boys were SHREDDED and turned up in DEMON shape at the weigh-in, and this fight lived up to all the hype.

Great job boys !

Tran Van Thao will be back in the ring in January, on a huge card that will include Genesis Servania and another top

LAURENTE FOR WBC TITLE IN CHINA

Elorde boxer Jonniel Laurente looked in great shape for tomorrow's big WBC Asia Continental bout in Chongqing China.
.
Laurente (pictured at the weigh in moments ago) takes on Wensong Liu 10-2 at Yubei Stadium for the vacant title.
But Jonniel Laurente, who recently returned from a sparring stint in Japan, is a real "live dog" in his title bid, possessing the great career stats of 8-0.
That said, tomorrow's title bout will defintely prove to be the Philippines' boxer's toughest test to date.
