The BIGGEST and the BEST boxing event in the history of Vietnam is here. With over 25,000 live spectators and 80million views on social media, the show lights up the night sky of legendary Hoan Kiem lake in the capital of Vietnam.

@tue_tam_boxing (Nguyen Thi Tam) is definitely a girl that's got it all to make it as a professional boxer. As an amateur, she swept top spots in Vietnam and abroad. She is currently ranked #1 in the world in Boxrec as an amateur. There no more to prove in Amateur competitions. Is it time for her to go pro?

A meteroic two years for the King's Warrior Charly Suarez, a Philippines amateur star and relative late comer to the professional ranks.
Since January 2021 Suarez has had 10 fights,10 wins, a Philippines national title, and also WBA and IBF Regional titles.
Now Philippines #1 and World #52
And you ain't seen nothing yet !
VSP Promotions are looking towards doing many more events next year after the recent success of "Fortunes of War".
VSP Boxing will host 10 events in 2023 for local Vietnam boxers who are wanting to join the pro ranks. These will kick off in February.
We will also be doing 3 big international shows bring top foreign boxers into Vietnam - the first of these being scheduled for March.
And Victory8 will be back !
Think Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi and 25,000 people!
More updates on a massive 2O23 coming soon !
In great news for fight fans, Claudevan Sese is all set to return to the ring this October, after an extended hiatus during lockdown.
The firebrand style of Mr. Heart Throb has been sorely missed of late, being so distinguishable by his fast hands and feet, and even the theatrical style that he brings to the ring each time.
And if you need reminding, here is a glimpse of Claudevan Sese back in 2019, when he took on a former Vietnam national champion, the "smiling assassin" Tran Van An.
The last time we brought fighters from around the world to Vietnam, the response was quite unbelievable.
The Legends of Hoan Kiem show in Hanoi attracted a crowd of 25,000, and was viewed by millions more on live TV and streaming. The matches from that historic event have since generated more than 30 million views.
THIS DECEMBER VICTORY8 IS BACK!
Vietnam's best will be matched with top professional fighters around the world in an electric 4 round format. Fast and furious!
We are currently scouting for iconic locations in HCMC and Vung Tau.
Breaking news on this soon.
This was a classic match up, held at the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake in the Vietnam capital of Hanoi.
This fight attracted a crowd of 25,000 people, and a television audience of millions.
Expect to see another big Victory8 event make its long awaited return in HCMC later this year.
Vietnam team and Victory8 boxer Thomas "Infamous" Wu finally makes his pro debut in Florida this Friday night.
Thomas Wu was part of a high talent Vietnam team that took on international boxers in Hanoi in late 2019, and he put on a great display, trading punches with Australasian champion Michael Pengue.
22 year old Wu will take on Anthony Curtiss, a veteran with 3 wins on his resume.
Both these fighters are extremely tall for welterweights, with Vietnam atomic blonde Thomas Wu at over 6 feet and no problems on the scales. This debut fight will be over 4 rounds, and based on his performance at Victory8, expect to see INFAMOUS to kick some butt and make some seriously noise !
GO VIETNAM !!
Bên cạnh các hoạt động của Boxing bán chuyên như việc tập trung lực lượng chuẩn bị cho SEA Games 31, ASIAD 19 sẽ diễn ra trong năm 2022, phương hướng phát triển nền Boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam là một trong những chủ đề được quan tâm trong thời gian trở lại đây.
Cùng với các cấp quản lý nhà nước như Bộ môn Boxing - Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao hay Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam, sự xuất hiện của những đơn vị tư nhân đã thổi một làn gió mới vào quá trình đào tạo các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp. Dù vậy, để có thể thực sự tổ chức một nền boxing nhà nghề thực thụ, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi nào. Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh, trưởng bộ môn Boxing/Kickboxing, Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao đã có những chia sẻ về vấn đề này.
PV: Trong thời gian vừa qua, Boxing Việt Nam đã chứng kiến một số lần hợp tác giữa các đơn vị quản lý nhà nước với những đơn vị tư nhân, ông đánh giá thế nào về tính hiệu quả của sự hợp tác này?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Trước đây, bộ môn cũng đã làm việc với các trung tâm đào tạo võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp, như Nguyễn Văn Đương với VSP, Trương Đình Hoàng tại Saigon Sports Club. Các vận động viên được tập trung tập huấn, thi đấu nhiều và thể lực chuyên môn tăng lên rất tốt. Về trường hợp của Thu Nhi, tôi cũng đã sang Campuchia theo dõi trận đấu tranh đai WBO Châu Á – Thái Bình Dương. Tôi đánh giá Cocky Buffalo là đơn vị rất tâm huyết trong việc đưa các võ sĩ thi đấu chuyên nghiệp.
Một số vận động viên từ đội tuyển Quốc gia cũng từng tham gia các sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức. Trong thời gian tới khi tình hình dịch bệnh được kiểm soát, chúng tôi sẽ làm việc lại với CLB để có phương án hỗ trợ vận động viên đội tuyển tập luyện, thi đấu chuyên nghiệp tăng tính cọ xát.
PV: Theo như nguyện vọng của một số đơn vị, ông có thấy cần phải đưa ra một cơ chế hợp tác chung, thay vì các trường hợp đơn lẻ như trước đây?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Về vấn đề này, đúng là cần có một cơ chế làm việc. Ví dụ như trường hợp của võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Đương, khi kí hợp đồng với VSP để thi đấu chuyên nghiệp nhưng vẫn do đội tuyển Quốc gia quản lý. Có nhiều phương án, ví dụ như để võ sĩ kí hợp đồng thi đấu các sự kiện do công ty tổ chức nhằm tăng khả năng cọ xát. Hoặc các công ty cùng với đội tuyển chi trả lương cho võ sĩ tập luyện thi đấu song song.
PV: Lại nói về vấn đề chuyên nghiệp hóa Boxing Việt Nam trong thời gian qua, các đơn vị tư nhân cũng có tâm tư về những hạn chế trong việc phát triển Boxing chuyên nghiệp, ông có nhận định gì về vấn đề này?
Đặc biệt, trong thời gian tới, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi gì để phù hợp với những cơ hội trước mắt?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Quả thực, Việt Nam chưa tổ chức được các giải chuyên nghiệp, những sự kiện đã xuất hiện đều do những công ty, đơn vị tư nhân tự thân thực hiện. Như VSP với Victory 8, Cocky Buffalo chủ động đưa VĐV ra nước ngoài thi đấu, cách làm này rất tốt mà theo tôi các cơ quan quản lý cũng cần chung tay thực hiện.
Trên thực tế, Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam đã có tổ chức Ban chuyên nghiệp để thực hiện những công tác trên. Tuy nhiên trong thời gian vừa qua, Ban chuyên nghiệp theo tôi đánh giá hoạt động vẫn chưa hiệu quả và không đóng góp được gì vào công tác chuyên nghiệp hóa cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Thời gian tới, khi Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam tổ chức kiện toàn lại bộ máy, theo tôi, ta có thể chọn ra một trong số các công ty có năng lực, tiếp xúc những Liên đoàn quốc tế để tổ chức các sự kiện chuyên nghiệp.
Tôi đã từng làm việc với một số đơn vị, nếu ta giao công tác của Ban chuyên nghiệp cho đơn vị tư nhân, họ có quyền đào tạo vận động viên, đồng thời có nhiệm vụ kêu gọi tài trợ để đầu tư cho Boxing Việt Nam. Họ cũng rất sẵn sàng với phương án này.
Khi đó, Liên đoàn và Bộ môn có thể tập trung đào tạo hệ bán chuyên, còn Ban chuyên nghiệp và công ty tư nhân sẽ đảm nhận nhiệm vụ với hệ chuyên nghiệp, bao gồm tổ chức thi đấu hoặc có thể cả tranh đai quốc tế.
Nếu tổ chức lại được bộ máy Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam và Ban chuyên nghiệp hoạt động đúng như tên gọi và vai trò, tôi tin các sự kiện thi đấu chuyên nghiệp sẽ được tổ chức thường xuyên hơn, tạo thêm nhiều cơ hội thi đấu cho các vận động viên.
Xin cảm ơn ông !!!
World team fighter and Vietnam nemesis Jye Lane Taylor returns to the ring at the Star Centre in Sydney tonight.
It is the first time the "Fast Lane" has being sighted since June this year, when he knocked out Aussie Paul Roberts in impressive fashion.
Boxing fans will remember Victory8 Hanoi 2019, where Jye Lane Taylor put on a clinic against quality Vietnam team member Pham Duc Doan. Jye is one of the best prospects in Australian boxing, and everyone at VSP is wishing him lots of luck in tonight's battle with Manuer Matet.
The handsome Philippines boxer is no other than "Mr. Heartthrob" Claude Van Sese here in Hanoi with the Vietnamese beauties. Sese came to Vietnam to participate in the famous Victory8 boxing event organized by VSP Boxing on Oct 19, 2019. The event drew over 25,000 spectators and over 50million views on social media. Sese faced Nguyen Van Gioi who is probably one of the best boxers in Vietnam who possesses speed and good ring strategy. You can catch all the action at VSP Promotions' YouTube Channel.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
Michael Pengue has been a regular fixture at VSP and Victory8 events in Vietnam. The Aussie boxer was outstanding in his performances for the World team, so it gave us all at VSP a lot of gratification and pride when Pengue raised the WBC Australasian belt recently.
Mickey Pengue had way too few opportunities to showcase his skills since 2019, but his WBC win was a really staunch reminder of what this talented fighter is capable of when in form. Jorge Kapeen proved to be a quality opponent, and he was the measuring stick that qualified it was a great return for Pengue to grind out an emphatic unanimous win.
Pengue, who is trained by Tony Del Vecchio at the world famous Bondi Boxing Club, will now take a well earned break, before setting sights on some bigger opportunities in 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.
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.

Bà mẹ 2 con Hà Thị Linh xuất sắc giành HCV môn boxing hạng 63kg.
Đây là tấm HCV thứ 2 của đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam ở SEA Games 32.
Iloilo native Arnel Baconaje put on an exemplary boxing display to secure the Philippines super featherweight belt just moments ago.
Baconaje dominated early, but was part on alert by a dangerous and resurgent Jhon Gemino in rounds 4-6. Gemino showed good head movement and landed some quality shots, but Baconaje remained composed.
Arnel Baconaje controlled the action well in the second half, relentlessly jabbing, shoulder rolling defense, and answering Gemino with straight rights and uppercut.
The fitness and resilience of both boxers was excellent, but in the end, it was the well executed game plan of perfect distance and timed counters that proved the deciding factor for the judges.

Joseph Ambo getting support from British champion Amir Khan on the eve of his fight in Dubai tomorrow night.
Ambo takes on the unbeaten 9-0 Cuban star Dayan Gonzalez.
What does Dubai, the Philippines and Cuba have in common ?
Plenty !
Because Joseph Ambo of the Philippines and Dayan Gonzalez of Cuba made weight today for tomorrow night's scheduled battle in Dubai.
The Scorpion looked fantastic at the face off, and even though it is his first hitout at featherweight, the tall boxer looks really suited to 126lb.
And he will need to be !
The Cuban Gonzalez is a real gun, having won all of his 9 fights thus far - 7 by way of stunning knockout !
Jhon Gemino and Arnel Baconaje weighed in and looked in great shape for tomorrow's RP National title bout in Parañaque.
The two boxers will compete at the Okada Casino in Manila on the undercard of John Riel Casimero.
Philippines boxers Jhon Gemino and Arnel Baconaje are regarded as two of the country's best super featherweights in recent years.
Despite the pandemic, both fighters found ways to stay busy and hone their craft, forging paths that lead to the same destination of the Okada Casino in Manila this Saturday.
In a dream match up that has often been debated, yet never seeming likely, these two will finally share the ring and contest the Philippines national title.
Jhon Gemino is a dynamo to say the very least, and prior to the pandemic, could rightfully lay claim to be one of the Philippines most dangerous operators.
Arnel Baconaje has devoted his life to the sport of boxing since showing precocious talent as a kid in Iloilo, and the Elorde Southbox star has always known that title fights were written into his destiny.
"The Silencer" has fallen prey to some very ordinary judges' performances at his last two appearances, but is unperturbed.
This is a white hot match up between two of the Philippines most lethal punchers, but there is a strong suspicion that for Baconaje, he is really coming into his own as a fighter.
But if you are a believer in destiny, then surely Arnel Baconaje will be crowned Philippines KING this Saturday night !!
Quibors Gym prodigy Weljon Mindoro takes a gigantic leap in his fledgling career when he takes on Japan's Takeshi Inoue this Saturday.
The Philippines boxer has not put a foot wrong so far, winning all 10 of his bouts, and incredibly, all by knockout !
But Takeshi Inoue boasts perhaps the best chin in the division, having endured all that unbeaten stars Jaime Munguia and Tim Tszyu could throw ar him, and returning with bombs of his own.
This is very definitely a different task that the Triggerman has faced previously, and he will need to show great boxing skills rather than power to pull the victory this Saturday night at Okada.
Some high level boxing action in Manila this Saturday night.
John Riel Casimero never fails to entertain, but the undercard looks fantastic, and the national title stoush between Arnel Baconaje and Jhon Gemino may even take mantle as the best bout on the show.
Saturday May 13th

Là võ sĩ đầu tiên của đội tuyển Boxing Việt Nam ra sân thi đấu trong ngày 8/5, Nguyễn Linh Phụng đã "giải hạn" bằng chiến thắng nhanh chóng ngay hiệp đầu tiên.
Phải chạm trán võ sĩ chủ nhà cùng tiếng cổ vũ náo nhiệt từ hàng trăm người có mặt tại nhà thi đấu, nhưng Linh Phụng không hề bị khớp về mặt tâm lý. Anh nhanh chóng tràn lên tấn công, dồn đối thủ vào thế bí.
Sau vài giây đầu thăm dò, Linh Phụng mất chưa đến 1 phút để khiến đối thủ bị choáng, phải đếm ngay hiệp 1. Phút tiếp theo là những màn tấn công nhanh như gió của võ sĩ 10X.
Thế công của Linh Phụng khiến trọng tài sớm quyết định dừng trận đấu sau khi đếm lần 2 và 3. Với chiến thắng của Linh Phụng, Boxing Việt Nam như cởi bỏ được áp lực để hướng đến những trận tiếp theo.
Linh Phụng sinh năm 2000, là võ sĩ của đoàn Boxing Quân Đội. Từ khi lên thi đấu ở lứa tuổi trưởng thành, anh sớm nắm giữ ngôi vương ở hạng cân 48kg, và thường xuyên lên đội tuyển quốc gia thi đấu quốc tế.
Yes - they were that good !!!
Already there has been three cracking fights (we have recently been advised) between The Wolverine JonJon Estrada and Pablito Canada, so good in fact that they will meet again to settle the score.
The first two were atomic bombs, where Canada went all out and looked certain to KO Estrada, only to have the tables turned and end up on the canvas.
The most recent instalment was a strategic yet brutal battle, with the Wolverine punching himself to a standstill and earning a narrow points victory over a physically imposing Canada.
Now it's time for ESTRADA CANADA #4 !!!!This will surely turn into a franchise !
JOSEPH AMBO SATURDAY MAY 13TH DUBAI
Võ sỹ Olympic Nguyễn Văn Đương vừa bị trọng tài xử thua tại hiệp 3 trận đấu hạng 57 kg môn boxing SEA Games 32 và đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam đã phản ứng gay gắt với quyết định này.
Hiệp 1 chứng kiến sự máu lửa của Bautista khi anh liên tục dồn ép Văn Đương vào ring đài và tấn công đa dạng từ đấm móc sườn cho đến những đòn tầm cao. Trong khi đó Văn Đương đáp trả bằng những đòn đấm móc phải tay khá tốt.
Ở hiệp đấu kế tiếp hai võ sỹ tích cực tấn công nhiều hơn. Văn Đương chủ động ra đòn tầm xa nhằm hạn chế đối thủ áp sát tung đấm cực nặng. Còn Bautista có những đòn jab, đấm móc trúng đích khá tốt.
Kịch tính được đẩy lên ở hiệp đấu cuối khi ngay đầu hiệp trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu để bác sỹ kiểm tra "chấn thương vùng mi mắt trái" của Văn Đương. Sau đó trận đấu tiếp diễn, nhưng chỉ hơn 1 phút sau trọng tài lại yêu cầu bác sỹ kiểm tra vết thương của Văn Đương.
Lần này, bác sỹ ra dấu "VĐV không thể tiếp tục" và trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu, tuyên thắng knock-out kỹ thuật (RSC) cho tay đấm Philippines, trước sự ngỡ ngàng của Văn Đương và BHL đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam.
Tại thời điểm này, theo tìm hiểu của Webthethao, bảng điểm chung cuộc cho thấy Văn Đương đang tạm dẫn. Và nếu diễn biến vẫn giống như 2 hiệp đầu thì chiến thắng gần như chắc chắn sẽ thuộc về tay đấm của Việt Nam.
Nhưng rốt cuộc tuyên bố từ trọng tài không thể đảo chiều. Ngay trên đài, BHL ĐT boxing Việt Nam đã tỏ rõ sự thất vọng và phản ánh với trọng tài cũng như bộ phận y tế rằng "vết thương ở mí mắt của Văn Đương không hề nguy hiểm và cũng không ảnh hưởng gì tới võ sỹ này cũng như trận đấu".
Sự bức xúc tiếp tục diễn ra sau khi trận đấu kết thúc khi ĐT boxing Việt Nam tiếp phản ứng với tổ y tế, giám sát, BTC, khi đưa Nguyễn Văn Đương lại chứng minh tay đấm này "không bị chấn thương nghiêm trọng đến mức phải dừng trận đấu". Tuy nhiên, sự vụ không được giải quyết rốt ráo.
Chiều ngày 6/5, trong ngày mở màn môn Boxing tại SEA Games 32, nữ võ sĩ số 1 Việt Nam Nguyễn Thị Tâm sẽ có trận đấu đầu tiên ở hạng cân 52-54kg với đối thủ người Thái Lan Jutamas Jitpong.
Jitpong từng đại diện Thái Lan dự Olympic Tokyo 2020, cô từng giành HCB Thế giới 2022, HCĐ Thế giới 2023. Trong quá khứ, Tâm từng đánh bại đối thủ này khi cả hai chạm trán tại giải Boxing Thái Lan mở rộng 2022.
#webthethao #seagames32 #boxing #boxingseagames #nguyenthitam #boxingseagames32
Trong trận đấu đầu tiên ở môn boxing SEA Games hạng 54 kg diễn ra cuối giờ chiều nay 6-5, võ sỹ Nguyễn Thị Tâm đã dính chấn thương đầu gối ở hiệp 3 và nhận thất bại trước tay đấm Jutamas Jitpong của Thái Lan....
Như vậy, Nguyễn Thị Tâm đã lỡ cơ hội lần thứ 3 liên tiếp giành HCV môn boxing SEA Games.
Surely a match made in heaven - Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" has his eyes set on the RP National belt, but who better than "The Disaster" Jhon Gemino to thwart those ambitions ?
Baconaje v Gemino has been added to what is already a huge undercard to the Casimero bout at the Okada Casino on May 13th, and realistically, could really catch fire and become the fight of the night !
Arnel Baconaje has proved to be one of the Philippines classiest boxers in recent years, and is desperate to show that he is is the best super featherweight on the local scene.
The Disaster shapes as a bit of an unknown quantity, as despite three losses at his most recent, they were narrow points decisions against quality international opposition.
Jhon Gemino is world class when he is at best, having previously knocked out unbeaten Americans Toka Clary and Arnold Alejandro. The Parañaque based fighter also gave world champion Emanuel Navarrete a hell fight before being ultimately stopped in a great clash.
And be at his best he will need to be, as Arnel Baconaje is intent on wearing the Philippines national belt next Saturday !
Cagayan de Oro prospect Joseph "the Scorpion" Ambo was recently en route to Manila, with ambitions of hoisting the RP National super bantamweight title this month. But the talented 26 year old fighter has been earmarked for bigger things, and will be headed to Dubai on May 13th instead.
The Scorpion will jump up a weight class, and go to battle with the unbeaten Cuban Dayan Gonzalez (9-0) for the WBC Middle East featherweight title.
Gonzalez has looked electric in his career so far, and showed he is now sitting down on his punches more, securing knockout number 7 when he stopped the Philippines' Alie Laurel in March of this year.
But they breed them tough in Mindanao, and CDO boy Joseph Ambo (12-2) shows an excellent blend of skills, work rate and power to ensure the Cuban will need to be on his best behavior.
This will prove to be an interesting bout, because despite the fact that Joseph Ambo has a massive task on paper, the jump to featherweight gives all appearances that it will really suit him. He also has the style that will give the Cuban champ way more problems than his recent opposition.
Great fight coming to Dubai this May 13th !!
And they don't just happen !! This cracking bout was put together by the renowned matchmaker Mujtaba Kamal. Great work Kamal !!

Iloilo prodigy Arnel Baconaje will make a ring return at the Okada Casino on May 13th on a huge card headlined by John Riel Casimero.
The Elorde boxer has been on the end of tough scoring at his two most recent bouts - an IBF Lightweight clash in Vietnam, and an SD loss to Presco Carcosia in General Santos City.
Despite the quality of opposition, Baconaje appeared to do enough to have his hand raised in both matches, and he certainly showed the attributes of a boxer in hot form.
But that is now all history, and Arnel Baconaje is intent on redemption at Okada on May 13th - so beware a boxer scorned !
You can watch the full fight of Arnel Baconaje in Vietnam against a boxer a massive 6kg above his usual weight class (it's an amazing performance that has already received more than 800k views !!)
Philippines Mark John Yap heads to Vietnam next month to tackle the very deadly Nguyễn Văn Duong.

BÀ RỊA - VŨNG TÀU
Võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải bất ngờ thắng cao thủ Trung Quốc Su Xiao Tao bằng điểm trọng tài tại sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế WBO Chapter 3.
Màn so găng giữa Văn Hải với Su ở hạng Light Weight được quan tâm nhất trong loạt sáu trận của sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế tại The Grand Ho Tram Strip tối 22/4.
Văn Hải từng sáu lần vô địch quốc gia, nhưng vẫn bị đánh giá thấp hơn Su - tay đấm nổi tiếng của Trung Quốc từng giữ hai đai vô địch IBO Châu Á Thái Bình Dương và đai WBO Châu Á hạng cân Super Featherweight. Võ sĩ Trung Quốc cũng dày dạn kinh nghiệm hơn khi thắng 11 trong 13 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 6 trận thắng bằng knock-out. Văn Hải mới có bốn chiến thắng, trong đó có một bằng knock-out, qua 5 trận chuyên nghiệp.
Hai võ sĩ đều nhập cuộc thận trọng và chỉ tung ra các pha tấn công thăm dò. Văn Hải chủ động hơn trong di chuyển cũng như tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng. Phải đến cuối hiệp một, hai võ sĩ mới có một số pha ra đòn đáng chú ý.
Sang hiệp hai, Văn Hải tung ra những đòn móc sở trường rất nặng. Đáp trả lại, Su thể hiện đẳng cấp bằng một combo đòn nhuần nhuyễn và hiệu quả vào người đối thủ. Võ sĩ người Trung Quốc chủ động di chuyển áp sát, nhưng sớm phải nhận liên tiếp những pha trả đòn rất nặng vào đầu từ Văn Hải.
Với kinh nghiệm từng giúp bản thân giành hai đai vô địch châu Á, Su liên tục dồn ép Văn Hải vào dây đài. Sang hiệp ba, võ sĩ Trung Quốc ra một đòn đấm nặng trúng đầu, khiến Văn Hải choáng váng. Thế trận sau đó trở nên khá cân bằng và nặng tính chiến thuật.
Bước vào hiệp bốn, Su liên tiếp ra đòn tốc độ, nhưng Văn Hải di chuyển tốt, tránh được hầu hết các đòn thế từ đối phương. Dù vậy, võ sĩ của Trung Quốc vẫn tỏ ra nhỉnh hơn trong hiệp đấu này nhờ lối đánh khôn ngoan và kinh nghiệm.
Ở các hiệp đấu tiếp theo, Su vẫn giữ thế chủ động để gây sức ép. Nhưng dưới sự cổ vũ cuồng nhiệt của khán giả nhà, Văn Hải lên tinh thần, phản đồn mạnh mẽ với một loạt cú đấm chất lượng trong hiệp bảy. Võ sĩ Việt Nam giữ đà này để chơi tốt ở hiệp cuối, và được xử thắng bằng điểm trọng tài hai trong ba trọng tài chấm Văn Hải.
Bên cạnh chiến thắng của Văn Hải, võ sĩ 26 tuổi Phạm Hữu Thương cũng có màn trình diễn ấn tượng trước đối thủ Trung Quốc Zeng Yujie ở hạng Super Flyweight. Trước trận đấu này, Hữu Thương bị đánh giá thấp hơn khi Zeng có gần 30 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 11 chiến thắng và ba trong số đó là thắng knock-out.
Võ sĩ Việt Nam nhập cuộc tự tin, tận dụng ưu thế về sải tay và chiều cao để tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng rất tốt. Ngược lại, Zengh phòng thủ rất chặt chẽ và có được một số đòn móc trái phản công khá lợi hại. Hai võ sĩ liên tục phô diễn kỹ thuật bằng những đòn tấn công đa dạng suốt trận so tài. Chung cuộc, trọng tài chấm điểm hòa cho cả hai võ sĩ.
Ở trận đấu khác, Song Chan Ho (Hàn Quốc) thắng knock-out Min Saeng Bak (Thái Lan) sau năm hiệp ở hạng Super Lightweight. Võ sĩ 17 tuổi mang hai dòng máu Việt Nam và Hàn Quốc Lee Ju Yeong (mẹ là người Việt) thua knock-out trước Bayarkhuu Ganbaatar (Mông Cổ) trong hiệp đầu.
Kim Gun (Hàn Quốc) thắng điểm Tenorio Romeo (Philippines) sau sáu hiệp. Một đại diện khác đến từ lò Cocky Buffalo, Mikhail Lesnikov (Nga) thắng điểm trước đối thủ người Trung Quốc Zhang Xian Hai.

Congrats
to VSP boy Nguyễn Văn Hải for a polished performance in Ho Tram against the Chinese power puncher Xiao Tao Su on Saturday.
The win propelled the Hanoi Hitman to Vietnam #1, and jumped him over almost 500 other boxers in world rankings.
The Vietnam fighter has always been one of the best known in the amateur scene, and is now finally getting to make up for lost time in the professional ranks.
Vietnam's best boxer Nguyễn Văn Duong will meet Philippines champion Mark John Yap in an exhibition bout at VSP Gym in HCMC on May 27th.
The Vietnam star will likely be in excellent fitness for the proposed match, after havingthe benefits competing at the SEA Games in early May.
Philippines killer Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam for a training camp at VSP Gym, in preparation for a big fight this coming July. The winner of an incredible 32 professional bouts, Yap is a 3x OPBF champion in Japan, a country where he was unbeaten for three years prior to the pandemic. Mark John Yap is a dangerous task for the Vietnam fighter. His most recent win was in January, where he jumped two weight divisions and savagely knocked out the very durable Leonardo Doronio.
Take a trip down memory lane !

VSP champ Nguyễn Văn Hải had no troubles making today's "catchweight" for tomorrow's big event in Vung Tau.
Nguyễn Văn Hải 60.2kg was just slightly in advance of opponent Xiao Tao Su 60.1kg for at the weigh-in for their 10 round clash tomorrow.
Former national champion Hải (4-1) will have his hands full with his more credentialed Chinese rival (11-2) and a two times regional belt winner.
Philippines star boxer was celebrated by none other than President BongBong Marcos today at an awards ceremony in Manila.
Also acknowledged for their outstanding achievements were world champion boxers Melvin Jerusalem and Marlon Tapales.
Charly Suarez recently ventured to Australia to take on a man who VSP regarded as that country's best 130lb fighter - Paul "Showtime" Fleming.
The match was as exciting and dramatic as expected, with Suarez clinching victory courtesy of a last round knockout.
But despite the quality of that encounter, there are those in Australia less than convinced.
The feedback was that perhaps Fleming was "faded", that maybe Suarez got lucky, with even some there referring to the Philippines' best as a "cab driver !"
The overwhelming sentiment is that these two great fighters would be no match for a younger and more powerful Liam Wilson.
Queensland star Liam Wilson was responsible for the knockout of former top Philippines 130lb Joe Noynay, and despite a loss, consolidated his fearsome reputation with a cracking display against Emanuel Navarrete just recently.
In an ominous show of power, Wilson rag dolled Navarrete and became the first man in the world to drop the staunch WBO champ.
Impressive stuff, and for Wilson, there are surely big wins ahead.
But Charly Suarez is far and away the best boxer in the Philippines right now, so for Wilson, he represents another significant but exciting challenge.
So how about it NO LIMIT,
let's fight our two roosters and let's see who comes out victorious !!!!
This is a huge fight for Australia, and for sure, for betting shops, as everyone in the Philippines will be putting their cash on the "cab driver" from Davao !

Romeo Tenorio Jr 51.9kg weighed in slightly heavier than his South Korean opponent Gun Kim 51.7kg for tomorrow night's undercard bout at Vung Tau.
Tenorio and Kim will contest a 6 round contest in the Super Flyweight category.
Philippines Romeo Tenorio Jr looked primed and ready at today's weigh in Vietnam for THE RISING STARS show.
"Yong" from the Elorde Davao stable has always shown ability, and his first outing after the pandemic, his win over Julius Bala was a promising return.
Gun Kim is a promising and rangy South Korean, who is 2-1 but perhaps unlucky not to be unbeaten. His loss to Jae Young Kim was by split decision, yet most good judges agree that he should have been awarded the victory.
The match is the first international foray for Romeo Tenorio, and is a great opportunity for the Philippines fighter to secure his 9th win.

VSP strong man Nguyễn Văn Hải "the Hanoi Hitman" takes on China's rising star Xiao Tao "the Sadist" Su next Saturday at Ho Tram Vietnam.
Despite the greater experience of his Chinese rival (11-2), Nguyễn Văn Hải was upbeat :
"Every opportunity to fight is a blessing for me. I like to show my skills, and now that I am learning the differences of professional boxing, I also like to show my power.
I have had many fights in different sports, also in amateur boxing. I know to respect all opponents, because they have trained hard to win also. But I also know how to be ruthless, and the China fighter will find out next Saturday what it feels like to face a Vietnam fighter. I wish him good luck! "

Nguyễn Văn Hải is revered as perhaps the most experienced multi discipline fighter in Vietnam - but he also lays claims to being pound for pound the strongest !
A man with a passion for physical fitness, Nguyễn Văn Hải went for close to three years without a boxing match, all the time training young pupils in Hanoi in various fight techniques. But a return to the ring last year in Manila against Jerald Into rekindled his love for the sport, and he has since scored two impressive pro wins.
VSP Boxing star Hải will be fighting the main undercard bout in Ho Tram Vietnam next weekend, and will be joined by young Philippines prospect Romeo "Yong" Tenorio, who gets his first taste of competition on foreign soil.
Nguyễn Văn Hải (4-1) takes on resuming top Chinese prospect Xiao Tao Su (11-2) over 8 rounds in what should be a thriller.
Asked his feelings on the bout, Hải was very enthusiastic:
" I am very excited to be able to do what I love once more. Each match for me is a gift.
I respect all opponents, but I plan to give him a welcome to Vietnam that the fans will love !
I know I will hurt him and plan to finish him "
