BUKIDNON DOES IT BETTER !

Lorenz Ladrada is one of the many talented Mindanao fighters to compete in Manila in recent events.

The participation of visitor fighters to Luzon, amidst the difficulties the Elorde team encountered to even create events during lockdown, definitely deserves special mention.

At TIGER 2O22, Tomjune Mangubat, Charly Suarez, and Ronnie Baldonado formed three parts of the two headline fights - all Mindanao boys.

Lorenz "Cerberus" Ladrada is a proud son of the mountains, hailing from Malitbog Bukidnon, so it is fantastic to see his family and friends get behind his journey, and even receive a salutation from the mayor.

Well done to Lorenz Ladrada and all the fighters that have managed to keep the faith and stay competitive in these hard times.

AISAH ALICO IS SIMPLY STRIKING !

Mindanao's Aisah "D'Striker" Alico returned from a long lay off, and a jump in weight class, only to put on a great showing at TIGER 2O22 last week.

Alico matched up with visiting fighter Linn Sandstrom, and the pair were a welcome attraction at a big day of quality bouts.

TESORO OUT TO ACE THE OPPOSITION

Jestine "the Aceman" Tesoro and Palawan's Lorence Rosas contested perhaps the closest match of the day at TIGER 2O22 UKC, and it was a tribute to both fighters to keep it a chess match till the final bell.

Southpaw Rosas began the bout extremely well, and was a convincing round one winner. His angles and head movement gave Tesoro big problems again in round two, but late in the round, clever adjustments by the Aceman made it anybody's round. It was clear by the third, that 22 year old Tesoro had solved the Rosas puzzle, and they were big winning rounds for the young fighter.

So now Rosas was the one having problems, trying to manage the height and reach advantage of his rival. But round five, the Pride of Palawan showed his ring acumen, landing some great shots to charge back into the contest.

The final round was up for grabs, and whilst both boxers got a little ragged, it's fair to say Tesoro did a sufficient job to stick and move to pinch the contest.

This was a really interesting bout, and a great result for a fast improving Tesoro. Lorence Rosas has skills and experience, and can be an awkward fight for anybody. Just ask Mike Plania !

Really good signs here for Lorence Rosas, and for the Aceman, looking forward to seeing what he can produce in coming fights.

COOL BELT !!

Big congrats to the "'King's Warrior" Charly Suarez for his iconic performance against Cebu star Tomjune Mangubat in the main event fight at TIGER 2O22.

The bout had the added prestige of a regional title, and the win by Suarez elevates him in the world rankings with the potential for bigger fights to come.

THANK YOU WBA ASIA -  COOL BELT !!

HARD FOUGHT, WELL EARNED !!

One of the best fights you will see all year!

Ronnie Baldonado puts on a truly TIGER performance, giving the Wonder Boy his biggest career challenge so far.

The prize?

A WBA Asia belt and a world ranking. This fight was hellfire (as predicted !) and Martin showed huge composure, determination, and fitness to redress the first half of the fight.

The performance of Baldonado was phenomenal, and he will be a big star for Philippines boxing.

Can't wait to see what's next for Carl Jammes Martin !  Very impressive !

MANEFISTO DELIVERS A WINNING PLAN

Jason Buenaobra returned to the winners list with an outstanding win against a rampaging Remon Basas at TIGER 2O22 Ultimate Knockout Challenge in Paranaque.

This match proved to be one of the best of the day, pitting Buenaobra southpaw skills and footwork against Basas relentless pressure and workrate.

These two fighters had a common previous foe in top Mindanao fighter Lorenz Ladrada,  

and it was really pleasing to see the improvements that they had made since those battles. Basas looked relentlessly bullish and dangerous, and displayed enhanced foot speed in the bout.

This was a fine performance by Jason Buenaobra, he worked nicely off a backfoot jab, made clever angles, and mitigated the advances of Bad Bad Basas with classy point scoring touches.

THANK YOU PHILIPPINES !


Sweden's Linn Sandstrom and Mindanao's Aisah Alico put on a great show for the fans at TIGER 2O22. For Sandstrom, it was a valuable learning fight, and for the more experienced Alico, a chance to get much needed ring time after a pandemic enforced absence. Kudos to local girl Alico, whilst short on fitness, the Swedish fighter said that she hit a lot harder than any previous opponent !

We wish the Aussie based "Sandstorm" lots of luck in her future fights, and love to see her back again in the Philippines if she is passing by.

Linn Sandstrom had a successful visit, with a round 5 win over resuming Mindanao girl Aisah Alico.

Jada made herself useful also, showing her versatility as a ring card girl for the main WBA Asia bout between Charly Suarez and Tomjune Mangubat.

The "Wonder Boy" Carl Jammes Martin about to commence his ring walk for his WBA Asia assignment with Ronnie Baldonado.

The young boxing prodigy and recent Probellum signing, advanced to 19 and 0 (16 KO) with his gritty title win.

The fight between Baldonado and Martin was a classic, with Martin overcoming an early setback, only to work back into the contest and regain ascendency later in the bout.

Big kudos to Ronnie Baldonado, he was outstanding, and he made this another memorable bout for Wonder Boy and the fans.

PHILIPPINES HAS A NEW WBA CHAMP

Charly Suarez enjoying the after glow of a super day of fights at the TIGER 2O22 Ultimate Knockout Challenge yesterday in Paranaque.

The King's Warrior played his part, winning an iconic and exciting WBA Asia title contest with freak Cebu warrior Tomjune Mangubat. It was a world class performance by the two combatants, and one that will have the world's best ducking the Philippines best fighter.

Today the champ was chilling with close friends and family of coach Delfin Boholst. And from the look of Charly's unmarked complexion, it seems coach Boholst had him pretty well trained in the art of defense !

CHARLY SUAREZ WINS KNOCKOUT

Charly Suarez is without peer in Philippines boxing.

He put on a masterclass tonight against the best young prospect in the country to claim the WBA Asia title and put the world on notice.

Tomjune Mangubat was physically imposing, and perhaps won the first two rounds of tonight's bout.

But Suarez hands and feet were so quick, and accuracy so good,  he constantly picked off an advancing Mangubat. In the end, a fatigued Mangubat was dropped in the final round, and the ref waved it off.

Suarez showed that he is far and away the best fighter in the country,  and big credit to Mangubat, he was outstanding.

He will no doubt achieve big things in the future and be a star for the Philippines.

AMAZING AND DRAMATIC !

Carl Jammes Martin pulls a Knockout in round 11 from a dominant Ronnie Baldonado in a classic.

Baldonado knocked down Wonder Boy in the second,  and dominated till the mid stages, where a resurgent Martin edged back. In the end it was Martin's fitness that prevailed, against a totally exhausted Baldonado.

EPIC FIGHT!

BEN LIGAS WINS

Thats the way you want to see a champ defend his title!

Ben Ligas looked all class in a near shutout win over Roland Jay Biendima.  The Elorde boxer looked balanced and in control and set up beautiful combos off his enviable jab.

Biendima was one tough SOB as expected, and landed some nice shots of his own. He definitely had Ligas hurt a couple of times in this quality national championship bout.

LINN SANDSTROM WINS KNOCKOUT

Great win on foreign soil by Linn Sandstrom  against Mindanao girl Aisah Alico.

Despite showing caution, Sandstrom enjoyed the best of the action, and was the busier of the two boxers.

Aisah Alico looked comfortable Despite the fact she was largely in defensive mode, but was leveled with a decent Sandstrom body shot in the fifth round.

Nice win for the Swedish born Aussie Linn Sandstrom who says she LOVES THE PHILIPPINES !

ARNEL BACONAJE WINS

Great performance by Arnel Baconaje to win by shutout over an extremely resilient Leonardo Doronio.

Baconaje landed more frequently, and also had the power ascendancy, over a bigger opponent. He also controlled the ring with excellent movement.

It was definitely an improved version of Doronio today, he looked fit and imposing. He just struggled with Baconaje's movement,  and he will no doubt fare better with a less mobile opponent.

JINO RODRIGO WINS KNOCKOUT

Another closely fought and compelling fight between the experienced Roberto Gonzales and improving youngster Jino Rodrigo.

After having a point deducted for a low blow, Gonzales rallied, but was stopped surprisingly late in the final round.

Gonzales put some great combinations together, but often gave points back due to being countered.

Rodrigo continues to grow.

An accidental head clash and a cut to Richard Pumicpic results in the fight being stopped in round 3.

JASON BUENAOBRA WINS

Great showing by southpaw Jason Buenaobra,  who dominated the ring position for most part, setting his combos up with slick and varied jabs, and quick feet shift to his right.

This again was an improved Basas, and whilst out maneuvered, he managed to corner Buenaobra at times and land heavy shots of his own. He kept his opponent thinking the entire fight, which was expected !

JESTINE ACE TEROSO WINS

Lorence Rosas won the first round with good accuracy inside from southpaw stance. The much taller Tesoro started to find his range late in the second, to dominate the middle rounds. Lorence Rosas regrouped with a nice round five and a close final round.

Good fight both boys, and while a draw was fair, hard to argue with a Tesoro win.

“WE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL RUN”

Omega Cebu coach Julius Erving Junco didn’t mince words at yesterday’s press conference. He believes that former Olympian Charly Suarez can’t mix it with their star, and if he does, he will lose every round or even worse – be KNOCKED OUT!  

TOMJUNE Mangubat looks to score a huge upset today, March 12, as he faces highly touted former Olympian Charly Suarez in a World Boxing Association (WBA) super featherweight title fight in the main event of “Ultimate Knockout Challenge: Tiger 2022” at The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex in Parañaque City, Metro Manila.

The 24-year-old Mangubat is coming in as an underdog against Suarez, who has been impressive in his career as a pro.

Mangubat, however, hopes to derail the Suarez hype train and hand him his first career defeat.

“That’s what we want for him to go toe-to-toe. We believe he’ll run. They will have a bigger chance of winning if it goes the distance because it’s their promotion,” Mangubat’s coach Julius Erving “Jinggoy” Junco told SunStar Cebu. “If possible (we’ll knock him out). We could also win all the rounds and show the judges that we’re in control.”

Mangubat tipped the scales at 129 pounds, while the 33-year-old Suarez weighed-in a pound lighter at 128 pounds.

The winner of the fight could break into the WBA super featherweight rankings and step closer at a world title shot.

Mangubat is 15-2-1 with 12 knockouts, while Suarez is 9-0 with six knockouts.

RAKA SET TO FIGHT TRAN VAN THAO IN VIETNAM

Papua New Guinea Boxer Junior Kauko Raka’s fight against Vietnamese opponent Van Thao Tran is scheduled for the 15th of July next month at the Grand Ho Tram resort and casino in Vietnam.

Raka said his preparations for the fight is going great at the moment, he is currently training with his coach Ephraim Montaru, trainer Nelson John and national coach for the amateur boxers.

“I am having some spurring with Team PNG boxers who are preparing to attend the Pacific Games in Solomon Islands.”

Raka said he will get really good preparations if he goes to the Philippines to train there whilst waiting for his fight.

“I have made commitments to go to the Philippines but in terms of sponsors I’m still yet to secure one to help me travel there to prepare.”

“If I train and do some spurring in the Philippines I will be at my best fit to take up my international match.”

Raka said he is confident to win this fight and that is his main aim as it is the national championships for Vietnam and to him it means it’s the national championship for PNG.

“I’ve watched some of my opponents fights and I’ve seen some of his weaknesses and studied his movements in terms of attack and defense so if I can prepare in the Philippines, I will be able to defeat him.”

“One of my opponent Van Thao Tran’s weakness I have seen is that he does not move a lot in the ring and he moves forward all the time so I am training on how to move back and counter punch on him when he moves forward to attack me; I will move back with my punches and see gaps to swing or stop him,” added Raka.

Raka said so far there is no confirmation from any sponsors yet who have said to help me however the member for Bougainville and Minister Peter Tsiamalili has made a commitment to assist him; also from the CEO for Sports Foundation Albert Veratau who said to look into it.

There is also a company Jomik group of companies in Bougainville who have put their hands up to assist in his travel.

Raka thanked these sponsors especially the Jomik group of companies who assisted his team when they were in Buka with their airfares back to Port Moresby and their continuous support.

THE TRIGGER RETURNS JULY 15 AT HO TRAM

Tran Van Thao is probably Vietnam's best known "professional" boxer, and despite the best efforts of the pandemic, has managed to stay active and motivated to further hus successful career.

"The Trigger" beat the Philippines Prince Andrew Laurio by knockout last October, and has since stayed fit sparring and competing with amateurs. Despite the less suitable 4 round format,Thao performed outstandingly at the National tournament earlier this year, getting silver in a closely fought contest with Hanoi boxer Tran Van An.

Thao makes his anticipated return to the pro ranks on July 15th, on an a huge international event to be held at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino. It is understood that Vietnam lightweight champion Nguyễn Văn Hải will also be appearing on this same show. Both boxers will be pitched against national champions.

Mark John Yap will be representing the Philippines,  and after a recent exhibition bout in Ho Chi Minh City, should be in great shape for July 15th.

YOUNG GUNS IN MANDALUYONG SHOOT-OUT

Clarence Breboneria and Bryl Bayogos looked in ominous shape at today's weigh in, ahead of their meeting tomorrow at Mauway Gym.

Both boxers, at just 21 years of age, are highly promising. Bayogos is unbeaten in 4 outings, whilst Breboneria also has 4 wins, and could just as easily be unbeaten in 6 bouts. His losses were extremely close decisions, and it would also be accurate to state that the Elorde product has improved considerably since.

Breboneria has been in rampaging form since last October, devastating opponents with three knockout wins in a row.

In what looks a really open contest over 8 rounds tomorrow, if there is an advantage to be exploited, it may just lie with the power that Clarence Breboneria is capable of producing.

"PRODIGY" RAKA TO TAKE ON VIETNAM'S BEST ?

Rumours are strong that Papua New Guinea's premier fighter Junior Kauko Raka may be headed to the sunny shores of Vung Tau this coming July.

The "made from granite" Raka has made no secret that he wants to fight the top international boxers,  but those opportunities aren't available at home in Papua New Guinea.

HAVE GLOVES - WILL TRAVEL !

Raka has already won two pro bouts, and taken two losses - but these were outstanding efforts against world rated Roldan Aldea and Mark John Yap.

It is believed that Raka is in talks to take on Vietnam's highest ranked professional fighter, and if so, this story is sure to create big news in that country.

"I love boxing  - and I believe in myself and my team. I only want to take on the biggest challenges, and show people that the fighter's from Papua New Guinea can take on the world.  We have many kids here with great potential, so my mission is to bring this message to Vietnam"

Võ sỹ sinh năm 2000 Đoàn Văn Hiệu đánh dấu màn tái xuất sàn đấu VSP Pro bằng màn trình diễn ấn tượng trước tay đấm 18 tuổi Phan Thanh Kính từng đoạt HCB giải boxing trẻ quốc gia.

Giữ cự ly tốt và tung ra những đòn đấm móc, đòn tay sau chuẩn xác, lợi hại, và suýt chút nữa tìm được đòn knock-out với cú hook trúng cằm đối thủ, Đoàn Văn Hiệu đã ghi điểm trong mắt các trọng tài.

Không bất ngờ khi Đoàn Văn Hiệu được cả 3 trọng tài đều chấm thắng tuyệt đối 40-36. Một chiến thắng tuyệt vời trong ngày trở lại VSP Pro của Văn Hiệu

Thắng chung cuộc 3-0 khi cả 3 trọng tài chấm điểm thắng 39-36, Thái Hoàng Huy đã mở màn sự kiện VSP Pro #4 khá ấn tượng

LE HOANG HIỆP A CROWD PLEASER AT VSP PRO

HCMC boxer HIỆP,  better known as "BABY KONG " scored his debut win at VSP PRO 4 on Saturday night. It was his best performance so far, showing an improved work rate, and selecting a variety of shots on the inside that really impressed the crowd. Hiệp was especially successful with the uppercut, and he kept changing angle to keep his very strong opponent guessing.

Great fight, and looking forward to seeing more of Lê Hoàng Hiệp, and his rival Nguyễn Huỳnh Phúc Tiến, in future VSP PRO events.

MARK JOHN YAP STUNS IN VIETNAM WIN

Mindanao's Mark John Yap wound back the clock in Ho Chi Minh City tonight, with a brutal display over national team prospect Nguyễn Hà Minh.

Yap was returning from a couple of months break from the sport, celebrating the birth of his first daughter Yuri early this year. It was noted at the weigh-in for the Lightweight 61kg clash, that Yap looked a little soft next to his taller and ripped Vietnam opponent.

The Journey Man was given a warm reception by the crowd, who were divided as to how a pro veteran would match up with the slick Vietnam boxer in a highly paced 4 round format.

Nguyễn Hà Minh is only 20 years of age, but is a highly touted member of the Vietnam team,

He is tall, and boxes with beautiful range, has fast hands, and he seamlessly angles between stances to land counters with ridiculous ease.

The first two rounds were arguably won by the local star. The Philippines Yap pressed constantly, but his timing and distance were a little off, and Minh often punished his enterprise with counters.

Despite being outlanded, Yap was undeterred, and always looked significantly dangerous.

Cracks started to appear in the armour of the Vietnam star in the third, as Yap began to find his range, and the momentum shifted noticeably. The Journey Man was walking through Minh's efforts with impunity, and was really chopping his rival to the body. Yap was relentless, and went "old school" brutal in the final round, where he dropped his Vietnam opponent with sadistic attacks to the torso. Nguyễn Hà Minh stoicism saw him meet the final bell, yet had it been a longer bout, the stoppage was perilously near.

Mark John Yap was simply devastating tonight, and produced such a dominant performance on foreign soil, that he was hailed as the winner by unanimous decision.

It was a credible showing by hot national team member Nguyễn Hà Minh, and he acknowledged that Yap's strength and experience overwhelmed him in the home stretch. He will benefit a lot from his encounter with a hardened professional.

But the big news is - YAP IS BACK  !  

The evergreen killer from Cagayan de Oro will return to the ring in a big, soon to be announced fight, this coming July.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND

Pablito Canada and JonJon Estrada make great fights, and Saturday's was no different.

Minus the little kerfuffle near the end, where both boys were getting frustrated, and it was a really good contest with plenty of to and fro.

JonJon Estrada is known for his power, and although he showed more patience than usual in the longer duration 10 round bout, he still found time for some signature Wolverine moves.

Ladies and gentlemen  - I give you, the very deadly lead left hook !

BABY KONG HAS THAT STAR POWER

Two great young prospects lock horns tomorrow in what is sure to be one of the fights of the night.

Le Hoàng Hiệp has been compared to a mini Mike Tyson, and has vowed to put on a dominant display at VSP PRO.

But things might not go so smoothly for the former Russian mob member, as his opponent Nguyễn Huỳnh Phúc Tiến looked in crazy shape at today's face off. This rangy HCMC boxer has been earmarked as one of the big impovers in the local ranks.

GREAT FIGHT !!

YAP CUT FROM DIFFERENT CLOTH

Cagayan de Oro star Mark John Yap has seen just about everything in a professional career dating back to 2007.

The career traverses 16 years, multiple weight classes and countries, and 32 wins that include many prestigious regional honors such as 3 OPBF straps.

But what has characterized Yap, and remains omnipresent, is that the guy is at the core, a surgical serial killer.

He knows how to inflict damage - and he excels at the task !

Mark John Yap ventures to Ho Chi Minh City next Saturday, where he takes on Vietnam national team star Nguyễn Ha Minh.

Minh is a heavier weight class boxer, but you can be sure, this will make precious little difference to Yap.

Brutality is his game !
