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.

Fight 4: Nguyễn Tấn Thành vs. Nguyễn Tuấn Vũ

Tấn Thành với kinh nghiệm và thể hình tốt hơn đã nhanh chóng tạo ra khác biệt trước Tuấn Vũ. Lối ra đòn đa dạng của Tấn Thành giúp anh ghi điểm tốt hơn và đã có những khoảnh khắc tưởng như tay đấm này có chiến thắng knockout.

Trong khi đó dù cũng có một số đòn trúng đích nhưng rõ ràng lối đánh của Tuấn Vũ còn hạn chế kinh nghiệm. Chiến thắng bằng tính điểm đồng thuận cho Tấn Thành hoàn toàn xứng đáng.

WHAT MAKES IT PROFESSIONAL BOXING?
November 19, 2023

WHAT MAKES IT PROFESSIONAL BOXING?

I have been asked this question many times and you will be surprised to find that most people (even folks from the Boxing industry) don't really understand it.  

There is the technical definition between the two sports such as differences in the rules but that is a very shallow and limited understanding of the sport.

Fundamentally, amateur sports focus on finding the best athletes to represent the city, province, and finally the nation at various international tournaments for the glory of the country the athletes represent.  This is a very important role which national Federations plays.  The Federation can decide whatever it sees fit to devise local tournament rules and determine winners based on it's own standards since they are the sole power in the amateur sport they represent in that country. International community has no saying in the process of selecting top athletes to represent the country by each Federations but share same rules when competing in international tournaments such as ASIAD, OLYMPICS, SEA GAMES etc.

Professional sports however has a very different goal.  It is all about commercial benefits to the organizer and the athletes participating in the event.  It has no interest in finding the best boxer but rather focuses on what organizers can "sell" to the public and sponsors to watch.  There are no international tournaments such as SEA Games, Asian Games, or the Olympics. In professional boxing, all matches are one single event and there is no medals or 2nd place award.  There is simply a winner and a looser.  

Professional Boxing is based on a global ranking system to determine if one boxer is "better" than another, and this has a big impact on the money that athletes can demand from the organizer for participating in an event. (Generally, if a fighter have had more fights in the past with many wins, they can demand more money because more people would likely know the boxer and thus it is easier for the organizer to market the event.)  In this regard, the international community had to agree in using a common database that records such ranking.  One of such platforms where you can find combat history of athletes is called BoxRec.  It is a private website that has managed to invest in collecting most fight results around the world which is used as the first place to look when researching about a boxer.  

Because of the global ranking, a boxing match cannot be called  professional boxing simply because it applied professional rules.  It also cannot be called as professional boxing by a national Federation or even by a government alone.  For a boxing match to be accepted as "professional boxing", it must be recognized by international organizations as meeting certain standards, procedures, and paperwork. Otherwise, you can have any organizations claiming to have "local authority" to declare results of boxing matches that may not be fair and transparent. The professional boxing community has fought off countless attempts by various organizations claiming have "authority" to try and insert the results of matches that do not meet required standards.

Now who are these "international organizations" in professional boxing?  

Most people think they are WBO, WBC, IBF, WBA.  Many also wrongly think that above organizations are equivalent to IOC or FIFA but they are not.  They are all private organizations that have been successful at marketing their brands around the world.  There are over 65 of such companies but WBO, WBA, IBF, WBA are the biggest.  Each of them have their own rules and criteria as to who can fight for their belt.  They make money from the organizer (called "promoter" in boxing) who arranges events involving their brand.  In any boxing event, they work with the organizer to witness and manage the fight involving their brand only.  

Commissions are organizations that understand the requirements of being accepted as a "professional boxing" and act as an auditor to "supervise" a boxing event which are non-title fights.  Almost all professional boxing commissions in the world are private organizations except for USA and the Philippines.  Even in those countries, amateur boxing is separately managed from professional boxing since mixing amateur and professional sports often lead to corruption.  

Commissions have commercial agreements with other commissions after ensuring that they are mutually satisfied with the quality and the integrity of the supervision (audit) of a boxing match which may involve boxers under their management.  Each country can have multiple commissions. Korea has over 5 professional boxing commissions.  Japan had 2 commissions at one time but now has one private commission.  As long as a boxing match meets a certain criteria, the international community will accept it as being a "professional boxing match" and record the result.  

In Vietnam, only VBO is accepted as having met international standard by other private commissions in Japan, China, Korea, Philippines and also Boxrec.  This does not mean VBO is the licensing authority for a boxing event nor an exclusive organization for boxing in Vietnam. VBO works with any promoters who is licensed by the government to organize a boxing event to provide consultancy, audit, and boxing management to meet a certain standards that are recognized by boxing organizations which VBO has commercial agreements with.  Only then, the boxing match is recognized as being a "Professional Boxing" match by the the international community.  

It is important  to note that if a boxing match is supervised by an organization or even government that the international community does not recognize as having a certain knowledge and standard, it will not be recorded as Professional Boxing no matter what the local organization claim it to be.  

Recently, Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF) has been trying to disrupt legally licensed boxing events claiming to be the sole authority to approve professional boxing in Vietnam.  It is important to note that they have charged promoters in the past over USD 10,000 dollars for "sanctioning fee" and demanded various perks such as free rooms and flight tickets for their guests. They used amateur scoring system and ultimately had no recognition by international community involved in professional boxing.  For these reasons and many more, all the professional boxing events they supervised in the past were not recognized by major commissions and boxing organizations such as BoxRec.  In contrast, VBO provides its services for free to all promoters as a sponsorship.  

Another reason why VBF is rejected by the professional boxing community is because some senior executives of VBF are also gym owners, managers of boxers, and also a promoter that competes with other organizers of professional boxing in the market.  Clear conflict of interest is one thing but they haved used their authority to send various government departments to intimidate and try to disrupt boxing events by all other organizers.  

So far, VBF has yet to supervise one single professional boxing event listed on BoxRec.  In 2023, there were 2 events done by SSC.  The owner of SSC is also the Vice President of HBF and President of VBF.  The promoter of the event, Shadow Entertainment, is partly owned by the President of VBF.  

Rather than just repeating an empty slogan that VBF is the sole authority, it is important for them to first act as a responsible organization by establishing a clear rules of professional boxing for Vietnam, and also establish working agreements with various professional organizations around the world so their supervision of a professional boxing match is accepted as credible and transparent.  

In comparison, VBO does not have any boxers under contractual management and certianly don't charge any fees of any kind to boxers.  It has sponsored over 13 events in 2023 with combination of free services to organizers, gloves, hand wraps, seminars, fighter purses, flight tickets, hotel, and meals.  The result is that VBO has produced over 80% of new professional boxers in Vietnam including 100% of all female boxers.   With over 2bil VND in sponsorship, it is unlikely VBO is out to collect money from boxers they are paying and supporting in the first place as claimed by VBF.

VBO does not have any form of agreements with WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC or any other such organizations.  Those are commercial arrangements with the organizer/promoters.

"Sanctioning" is not a legal word.  It means following a certain standards for a match to be recognized by the Sanctioning organization.  For WBO title fights, WBO will be the Sanctioning organization for their brand and VBO does not get involved in that.

Function of a commission is to protect safety and welfare of boxers rather than showcasing their authority or titles guven by higher powers.  It is important that any organization claiming to be the authority first demonstrate their capability before asking for the acceptance of their competence.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR VIETNAM!
November 18, 2023

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR VIETNAM!

During the WBO Global event at the Grand Ho Tram, another historic event took place.  Vietnam Boxing Organization signed a cooperation agreement with Korea Boxing Federation (KBF).  The agreement focuses around the technology transfer of professional boxing management system developed by VBO.  

Chairman Lee of KBF said "History of professional boxing in Korea is over 80 years but VBO from Vietnam has managed to develop a system that is far better than what is being used in Korea. I have never seen such an advanced system for boxing like the one developed by VBO."  

The system developed by VBO streamlines documentation process required in supervising a fight by more than 98%, saving countless hours by a commission using the system.  What usually takes days to prepare can be done in less than an hour.

NOTE:  Unlike in Vietnam, most of the countries around the world allows private organizations to use "Federation", "Association", or "Commission" in their names.  KBF is a private organization as are most professional boxing commissions around the world.

VIETNAM BOXERS HEAD TO VŨNG TÀU

Tran Van Thao and Thai Hoang Huy will fly the Vietnam flag at this Saturday night's big international show at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino.

The "Trigger" Thao resumes from more than a year out of the ring, and takes on gritty Mexican Kenbun Torres (12-4)

Thai Hoang Huy only debuted in early 2023, and has already amassed 4 wins, but has a big task against a hot opponent from Botswana.  He meets Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka  - a two time junior gold medal winner at amateur before turning pro, and now a WBF title holder in Africa.

The international event is headlined by a WBO title match, and will be supervised by Vietnam Boxing Organization.

The action takes place in Vũng Tàu from 6pm this Saturday November 18th.

Good luck to all fighters.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE  !!!
November 17, 2023

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE !!!

The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino will be the focal point of the best fight action Asia has to offer this Saturday night.

The headline event is the WBO Global bout between China's Zhu Dianxing and Thailand's Yotboon Sanchai over 12 rounds.

The China star was recently in Vietnam, where he totally dismantled top local Sam Minh Phát, and took his superb record to 10 wins with only one loss.

The main undercard bout is of huge interest to Vietnam fans, as it marks the return of "Trigger" Tran Van Thao to the squared circle.

Thao is Vietnam's best performed professional, winning 15 of his 16 bouts to date, and he looks to make his first match in over a year a memorable one. Trigger takes on tough Mexican Kenbun Torres, and when we say that, we are recommending that TOUGH and MEXICAN be made into one word ! Torres is dangerous too - in his 12 wins, 9 have tasted the canvas.

The other bout of note for Vietnam is the match between fledgling boxer Thai Hoang Huy and Botswana talent Moabi Ngaka (pictured).

Former Muay Thai student Huy turned to boxing only this year, yet has already picked up 4 wins and  scored  2 knockouts for the highlight reel.

African visitor Moabi Ngaka is known as "The Eagle" and at first glance, it's easy to see why. Ngaka is very tall and rangy, and likes to attack his prey from range.

This Botswana boxer has won two gold medals in national youth championships before turning pro, so he will have the experience edge over his very willing Vietnam opponent, but this has the makings of a really interesting fight.

"Ho Tram RUMBLE" will boast 6 great fights, with the action getting underway around 6.30pm.

MOABI NGAKA TO MAKE HISTORY IN VIETNAM
November 9, 2023

MOABI NGAKA TO MAKE HISTORY IN VIETNAM

Botswana boxer Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka touches down in Ho Chi Minh City next week, and aside from blazing hands, brings something for the record books with him.

Ngaka will appear at a top quality international show to be held at The Grand Ho Tram Resort next Saturday night, and in doing so, will be the first African pro boxer to fight in Vietnam.

The Eagle will take on local prospect Thai Hoang Huy, a boxer who has been rewarded for his escalating performances in the VSP PRO series, where he attained a 4-1 record.

His lone loss was a debated split decision, so Huy could easily be 5-0 in the stats.

But the Botswana visitor represents a big jump in class for the HCMC based prospect.

Moabi Ngaka has had over 60 amateur fights, winning 3 gold in national youth, and silver and bronze at senior level.

His pro record is 4-1, and last year, he won the WBF  super bantamweight title in a fantastic 12 rounds display over the incumbent champion.

The fight next week in Vung Tau is a "MUST WIN" for the African boxer, who has been promised a title shot in Maun Botswana on December 15th if he is successful against Thai Hoang Huy.

Ngaka has been out of the ring for almost a year now, and only time will tell if that will play any part in his performance against a less experienced but feisty Vietnam fighter.

This is far and away the toughest assignment for Thai Hoang Huy since he transitioned from muay thai late last year. VSP wish him lots of luck.

TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN HOLDING ALL THE ACES
October 22, 2023

TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN HOLDING ALL THE ACES

When you have got height, reach, youth and good looks - what else do you really need ??

17 year old Binh Duong Boxing Team prospect Truong Hai Bien returns to VSP PRO, only two months since he debuted against Nguyễn Khắc Dũng. Bien dropped a points decision to his Hanoi opponent, but it was very obvious he has a mile of improvement, and his team were keen to get him back into the ring as soon as possible.

Bien at 173cm has nice height for the super lightweight class, and if he can learn to create angles a little more, will be able to have more success fighting on the outside than he did at his debut. But despite his inexperience, he certainly has the makings of a good boxer.

Nguyễn Khắc Dũng brought lots of pressure in the August bout, and next Saturday night, Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long brings pressure in spades !

But for sure, height, reach, youth and good looks will all combine on the night and we will see a vastly improved Truong Hai Bien at VSP Gym next Saturday.

This event is made possible by the sanctioning of the Vietnam Boxing Organization, who are the regulator of professional boxing in Vietnam.

IT'S A "LONG" WAY TO THE TOP - VSP PRO 9

(If you wanna Rock'n Roll)

One of Ho Chi Minh City's most popular boxers returns to next Saturday night for the 9th installment of the very popular VSP PRO.

Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long has perhaps been one of Saigon's unluckiest boxers with injuries, and he resumed from a very long break at VSP PRO last July.

In what was meant to be a "soft" return to the sport he loves, Long was unfortunate to lose his debutant opponent at the very last moment.

Not one to avoid a challenge, Long accepted the monumental task of being matched with in form national team star Nguyễn Hà Minh.

Long showed lots of great signs in his comeback fight, before being caught by his top class opponent late in the bout.

Next Saturday night, Long meets Binh Duong youngster TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN in what should be a cracking bout. Long definitely possesses the experience edge over his taller and rangier rival, and it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep this young gun on a tight leash.

One thing for sure, Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long is a real crowd pleaser and he will definitely be throwing bombs however long the battle lasts.

This event is made possible by the sanctioning of the Vietnam Boxing Organization, who are the regulator of professional boxing in Vietnam.

VSP PRO 9 - Saturday October 28th   Starts 6pm

THE "KILLER" KHAI TO UNLEASH ON OCT 28
October 20, 2023

THE "KILLER" KHAI TO UNLEASH ON OCT 28

Lương Nguyễn Công Khải is one of the best known names in Vietnam boxing, yet the Quảng Ngãi fighter vanished from the sporting landscape for close to 3 years !

Khải was highly regarded on the local scene, even winning a HCMC title, but years of training took a toll on his body. He decided enough was enough, and ended up having surgery to deal with his chronic shoulder pain, and also his restricted power and movement. But whilst the surgery was deemed a success, there was an extensive period of rehabilitation to endure.

These were long hours of constant stretching and strengthening, and finally Khải knew it was time to put his shoulder to the test. He entered the ring for the first time in three years back in August - a VSP PRO match against former youth champ Truong Ngo Gia Huy  - definitely no easy task for your first time back in the ring !

The match was excellent, and despite some ring rust and being slightly short of fitness, the Killer showed many qualities of his former self. At the end, the judges could not seperate the two fighters, and declared it a draw, but it was very obvious that Khai would soon be a force to be reckoned with.

And as if it was scripted, the KILLER returns next Saturday night for VSP PRO 9. He is matched up against DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO - a southpaw from Max Fight club in HCMC who will be making his professional debut. The reports are extremely good on this boy, and his team are confident they can keep Khải out of the winner's list for a little while longer.

But based on what we saw in August, and knowing  the level that Lương Nguyễn Công Khải was at before he was injured, this may be a big task for Bao.

EXPECT TO SEE A KILLER UNLEASHED NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT !

LÂM TRÍ SIÊU LEAN AND MEAN FOR VSP PRO 9
October 17, 2023

LÂM TRÍ SIÊU LEAN AND MEAN FOR VSP PRO 9

Matrix Boxing prospect Lâm Trí Siêu has always had skills, but his love for beer and buffet has always challenged his love for boxing !

Siêu made a nice debut in June, scoring a points win over a very combative Nguyễn Dat Viet.

But it was a very "cuddly" fighter that presented at that show, weighing in at a touch under 80kg.

In spite of the impressive performance, it was suggested that the HCMC boxer would be better suited in a lighter weight class, and soon we get to see if the opinion is on the money.

Lâm Trí Siêu returns for VSP PRO 9 next Saturday October 28th, and it will be a leaner 76kg that will appear in the ring. Siêu takes on promising debutant PHAM HỮU TÀI in what will likely be one of the best fights on the card.

If you have never been to the fights, do not miss this show next Saturday at VSP Gym in HCMC. Admission is free, but please arrive early as seating is sometimes limited.

PHAN MINH QUÂN IN KOREAN CLASSIC

PHAN MINH QUÂN IN KOREAN CLASSIC

It was a really nice foreign debut for Phan Minh Quân in Korea last Sunday.

Quân took on unbeaten Uzbekistan boxer Sirochbek Ismoilov  - a former amateur champion and national team member.

Vietnam had plenty of good touches, and despite a narrow loss, served it up to the Uzbek champ.

Great quality fight, and Phan Minh Quân will COME BACK STRONGER !

ONE YEAR IS A LONG TIME IN BOXING

ONE YEAR IS A LONG TIME IN BOXING

This time last year Muay Thai fighter Thai Hoang Huy was looking to make his boxing debut.

And what a debut  !  

The fighter dubbed "Naksu" (which means WARRIOR in Muay Thai) fought an exhibition with Philippines famed KILLER  JonJon Estrada - a boxer with 16 wins and ouch !   -  14 Knockouts.

That exhibition bout inspired Thai Hoang Huy to turn professional  - and the Ho Chi Minh City boxer now owns the impressive record of 4 wins and one split decision loss in his five bouts to date.

Certainly not one to walk away from a challenge, Naksu now has some huge news breaking !

Thai Hoang Huy will represent Vietnam at an international event at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino on November 18th on a top class card assembled by Cocky Buffalo Promotions.

Huy will take on Botswana hotshot Moabi Ngaka, in what will be a prelude for the African boxer's title fight in late December.

Ngaka was a superb amateur that has transitioned impressively to the pro format, and is now regarded as his country’s best fighter.

And Ngaka will take his own place in history, as this will be the first time we get to see an African boxer perform in Vietnam.

Thai Hoang Huy has been one of the consistent improvers at VSP PRO this year, and we wish him lots of luck in this monumental yet exciting challenge that lay ahead.

WE SAVED THE BEST TO LAST !

WE SAVED THE BEST TO LAST !

This was the main event, and it was a cracking contest between two very promising featherweights.

Without doubt -  the best fight of the night !

ĐỖ VĂN THIỆN NGÂN and ĐOÀN HOÀI NHỚ went non-stop, sharing plenty of great moments in a fight that rightfully could have gone either way.

The judges nod was a split decision win to the Ca Mau boxing team fighter ĐOÀN HOÀI NHỚ.

Very excited to see both of these top prospects in future bouts !

PHAM VĂN THÀNH PUTS ON CLASSY DISPLAY

PHAM VĂN THÀNH PUTS ON CLASSY DISPLAY

It was a super impressive debut by southpaw Pham Van Thành to win the main undercard bout.

The super bantamweight contest was high level, and opponent Truong Ngo Gia Huy showed nice skills and movement throughout.

But it was the more consistent touches and ring control that won the judges, and the Binh Duong boxer Pham Van Tan scored the first of what is surely many wins to come.

FAST AND THE FURIOUS ON DEBUT
September 30, 2023

FAST AND THE FURIOUS ON DEBUT

Excellent bout between two fighters making their debut - Team Manny boxer LÊ NGỌC MINH KHÔI and Khang Anh Martial Arts Club PHẠM LÊ GIA HUY.This was an excellent bout where both boxers adhered to basics, maintaining a decent punch volume throughout.Huy was the much taller boxer, and used his range well to outpoint his opponent, who often tried to broach distance with a high guard but lacking the fast head movement and jab. The Khang Anh boxer impressed the judges, and lots more wins seem assured.LÊ NGỌC MINH KHÔI was an excellent debut, but certainly had issues with the height and range of his opponent. He looks like a drop to 48-50kg class will suit him far better, and expect to see him winning with more experience under his belt.

THÁI HOÀNG HUY TURNS THE TABLES
September 30, 2023

THÁI HOÀNG HUY TURNS THE TABLES

Improving novice Thai Hoàng Huy went on the attack in round two, after trailing 10-8 in the early scorecards.

Huy was unfortunate in round one, after appearing to slip just prior to receiving a glancing blow, and was deducted two points for the knockdown.

But the former muay thai fighter quickly made up for it, landing a peach of an uppercut on Tran Ngọc Phuong Hieu to end the battle in stunning fashion.

Despite his inexperience as a boxer, Thai Hoang Huy has improved markedly since he debuted, and moves to 4-1 as a professional.

TEEN STAR HUỲNH THỊ VŨ DUYÊN EXCELS

HUỲNH THỊ VŨ DUYÊN A FUTURE STAR
September 24, 2023

HUỲNH THỊ VŨ DUYÊN A FUTURE STAR

Here's one for the watch list next Saturday night !!

18 year old Quảng Ngãi prospect Duyên returns for VSP PRO 8 for a featherweight 57kg bout against Can Tho team's TRẦN THI KIM CHI.

Duyen is a former youth and club champion gold medal winner, and debuted in March at VSP PRO with a classy victory over Hoang Thuy Linh. She looked very restrained in that performance, and expect to see something special from Duyên this coming Saturday.

She is certainly one of the future stars for women's boxing in Vietnam.

VSP PRO 8

Saturday September 30th    Starts 6pm
