Charly Suarez went to 10 and 0 and top seventy in the world, when he recently captured the WBA Asia title in Manila. The King's Warrior was to defend that title in Dubai this June, only to have the match postponed, in part, due to boxers trying to avoid the Philippines star!
Expect to see some really skillful work (albeit a little rusty!) from Richard Pumicpic and Edison Berwela in Paranaque City tomorrow. Both boys are main event fighters when at their peak, so it's fantastic to see them doing their thing tomorrow.

Philippines Floryvic Montero and Sweden's Linn Sandstrom just made weight for tomorrow night's clash in Newcastle Australia.
Almacen won the first round, but the resuming Bentoso looked great in the second.
Good fight both boys, and while a draw was fair, hard to argue with a Tesoro win.
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 !
Giovanni Escaner was class from the opening bell, and had opponent Albert Alcoy in trouble at the end of the first round
Pumicpic won the first two rounds, and landed some leaping left hooks, before a head bump in the second. Canada looked great, big and physical, and this was shaping to be a real war!
Gonzales put some great combinations together, but often gave points back due to being countered.Rodrigo continues to grow.
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.
Danny Tampipi is a tough customer, and he has previously competed well with top fighters, and nobody has ever dominated him like Hot'n Spicy Dasmarinas did today!
Jess Rhey Waminal looked all class, and was picking Estrada apart. He just needed to keep boxing to ensure victory.
Despite showing caution, Sandstrom enjoyed the best of the action, and was the busier of the two boxers.
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
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.
Suarez showed that he is far and away the best fighter in the country, and big credit to Mangubat, he was outstanding.
Tomjune Mangubat has not only an imposing physique, he boasts a resume to match!. He takes on the Philippines' best boxer Charly Suarez for the WBA Asia title, and the mood in camp is that the former Olympian's reputation will count for nothing once the opening bell sounds.
Philippines best versus Philippines best up and coming - three times SEA Games gold medal winner Charly Suarez takes on the giant killing Tomjune Mangubat of Omega Cebu.
Michael Dasmarinas has been boxing from the time he was a kid, and since turning professional at the age of 19, has amassed an incredible 30 wins, many at the highest level (20KO). The champ, known as Hot ‘N Spicy, is rightfully regarded as one of the Philippines’ marquee boxing talents, and in 2021 he shared the ring with perhaps the greatest pound for pound fighter on the planet, Naoya “the Monster” Inoue for a world title shot.
Ronnie Baldonado claims that the Wonder Boy has had it easy in his unbeaten run, and has been given way too much respect from previous rivals. Baldonado, who has not fought since 2019, has been working hard on skills, strength and conditioning in the down time, and promises a more physical athlete in his return bout. Now 25, the former bantam has really developed solid muscle in the gym, and is convinced that 122 pounds is his new home! Those that have seen the recent efforts of "Jong Jong " are true believers also, saying that he is far more energetic and lethal at the new weight.
Mindanao lays claims to being the most prolific breeding ground of talented boxers anywhere on planet Earth ! And this compelling truth is reinforced with the knowledge that four of the six main event fighters are from the warrior isle! Charly Suarez and Ronnie Baldonado hold key roles in both WBA titles at TIGER 2022, and despite facing stiff opposition, and will be out to show that very definitely, DAVAO DOES IT BETTER! Suarez sees a victory over Tomjune Mangubat as a catalyst to his world title aspirations, and is set to deliver a career best performance.
Great news for fight fans is that unbeaten Omega Cebu prospect Carlo Bacaro will make a surprise appearance on the undercard of Suarez / Mangubat this March. Bacaro at only 22 years of age, is already one of the most exciting strikers in Philippines boxing, having landed 6 knockouts in his 8 victories thus far. His appearance at TIGER 2022 will mark a full year since his previous bout, a defining match against the unbeaten Allan Villanueva. The Cebu boxer showed exemplary skills and maturity in that clash, ousting the classy Villanueva via an unanimous decision.
The very talented southpaw Lorence Rosas returned to the ring after an extended break last year, and despite his best laid plans, the comeback proved to be full of unexpected challenges. Palawan is one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines, renowned for its white beaches, clear waters and amazing biodiversity.
Martin will fight for WBA south east asian strap, with a soon to be announced opponent. Ben Ligas defends his national flyweight title against Sanman killer Jerven "Iron Fist" Mama. Sounds positively scary!

The sport of boxing can throw up unusual and ambiguous results. Some would go further and argue inept - often even corrupt! And it is also an unfortunate reality that those outside the ring, those that adjudicate the results, often lack the resolve and the ability of the combatants inside the ropes! Ben “the Sniper” Ligas returns on March 5 hot on the heels of a superb 2021.
Richard "the Beast" Pumicpic looks to ramp things up this coming March, after a quiet but successful 2021. Pumicpic stopped excellent local fighter Landy Cris Leon in May, and Leon subsequently had a win over Jhunriel Ramonal, consolidating the merit of the victory.

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

CHARLY SUAREZ v TOMJUNE MANGUBAT WBA ASIA TITLE Super Featherweight

Linn Sandstrom showed the benefits of a great camp, and better shot selection, in her victory over Ali Jensen.
Arnel Baconaje is as close as we've seen to the Aussie star, and he is a standout as one of the Philippines best and most technical operators. The Iloilo fighter shows really good patience in setting his shots, makes good angles, and dispenses the pain with plenty of high and low variety.
Not only a boxer of high potential, Ligas doubles as a pretty useful model for the latest sports wear from the team at BE ATHLETIC !

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 !
"The Sniper" has trained well in preparation for his title defense, and in spite of losing two challengers along the way, has a battle on his hands with the very resilient Roland Jay Biendima.
Alcoy, who is now based in Makati City, and has spent recent years both competing and training others in boxing and mixed combat. And true to his “no task too big” edict, we will see “the Ageless” return to his love for the sport of boxing when he meets Giovanni Escaner on March 12th.
Giovanni Escaner "Little Giant" has been sparring in Manila in preparation for March 12th, and if the rumours are correct, he will show no signs of ring rust upon his return.

Arnel Baconaje and team working out this morning at Elorde Southbox, in preparation for TIGER 2O22 coming to Manila on Saturday March 12th. Be ready!
“Pretty Boy” Almacen resumes as a very young fighter on the up and up. This boxer has already amassed 7 wins, he has fast hands, good skills, and shows plenty of variety in his opening attacks. He has been sparring quality partners in preparation for TIGER 2022, so it’s accurate to say that he is a “known” quantity. But what of his opponent John Paul Bentoso, and how do we make any prediction on this bout????
“D’Striker “ is perfectly monikered as she has really good hands, and she does create awkward angles from her southpaw stance. Ring rust may play a big part here for Alico, as her opponent has the advantage of recent competition. But for sure, experience is the trump card for Aisah, having shared the ring with top names like Yuko Kuroki, Momo Koseki, Ayaka Miyao and Philippines’ Jess Pagaduan.
Sandstrom will fight Aisah Alico, a southpaw from Cagayan de Oro, before venturing to the States and central America to get some quality sparring. Her ambition is to string some wins together in 2022, and perhaps challenge some bigger names as the gloves start to feel as comfortable as the table tennis racket!
Popular Elorde fighter Ali Cañega scored an impressive stoppage win at Ilocos Sur on Saturday. In what was his first appearance since a close tussle with Richard Morales in September last year
This is a really interesting bout, where both boxers resume from a long break, so there is plenty of guesswork. The “mad Dog” Majadas will be a warm favourite, but styles make fights, and expect Antonio to give him lots to contend with in this opening match.
Jules Victoriano put on an exemplary boxing performance against a spirited Dave Barlas last night.
A winner of 7 matches, what has defined his career so far are the resume of opponents he has encountered on his path. The conclusion to be drawn is, Pablito Canada is only chosen for the very most dangerous assignments that other agents ( I mean boxers!) feverishly avoid !
Interesting footnote to this match with Lomachenko: Suarez was unable to take part in the bout, as he had suffered a shoulder injury, making it almost impossible to raise his arm. He had also been contesting lighter weight classes. He was told he MUST fight, so he obliged, and decided to just do his best.
This one plays out as a total war! Yes, Jason Buenaobra is the more experienced and technical boxer. But Basas is strong, and he also owns a swarming style that gives rivals no peace, and he will be looking to make this a very dogged, physical contest.
Jestine Ace Tesoro returns this March to take on an abundantly skilled "Pride of Palawan " Lorence Rosas. This will be a chess match for sure, as Rosas shoots from unconventional southpaw angles.
Wonder Boy is on a fast track to learn as much as possible from top locals like Escaner before he heads overseas. Until then, he has important business at hand, tackling Ronnie Baldonado for the WBA Asia title.
Roberto Gonzales, a winner of 28 bouts, and one of the Philippines most avoided fighters, looking to get ring time after an extended break. And Jino Rodrigo, a bona-fide MADMAN, afraid of nothing, and looking for big challenges to make himself a name.
Arnel Baconaje, Jonathan Almacen and Benny Ligas pictured after yesterday morning's workout, and already looking ready for battle!
rnel Baconaje is without doubt one of the Philippines' best and most technical boxers. He is also one of the most difficult to match! "The Silencer" is a very skillful and solidly built 130, with a big KO ratio, and unfortunately, had three opponents drop out en route to TIGER 2O22. Enter saviour Leonardo Doronio !
Giovanni Escaner, Malfred Majadas, Lorence Rosas and Jason Buenaobra were put through their paces in a darkened Manila, and are set to create some sunshine this coming March !
Rosas will drop to 126 to take on the promising Jestine Ace Tesoro, a winner of 5 bouts. This is a great featherweight match up, and it will be interesting to see how Tesoro's height and skills fare against the unpredictable southpaw style of Rosas.
We have also added (finally !) a women's bout, where Linn Sandstrom from Australia (by way of Sweden !) takes on Aisah Alico in a flyweight contest.
Nguyen Van Hai was pulled from his TIGER 2022 bout with mad dog Jino Rodrigo. At the time, it was expected that he undertake 10 days quarantine. Too long! Philippines' loss is Vietnam's gain, and the Hanoi fighter returns to the ring March 26 in HCMC. The comeback marks more than two years since Nguyen Van Hai and Charly Suarez locked horns at Hoan Kiem Lake back in October 2019.
Ronnie “Jong Jong” Baldonado will take on Carl Jammes Martin for the WBA Asia title in Manila on Saturday March 12. The Mindanao fighter boasts a superb record of 15 wins and 2 losses, and returns to the ring for the first time since late 2019. The solidly built Baldonado has a wealth of experience against varied styles of opponents, including international fights in China and Japan. Winning on the road in China is never easy, but Jong Jong made sure his efforts were not in vain, by knocking out his two opponents in Beijing!
Elorde team at this morning's photo call !Top pros Jules Victoriano, Ranny Quizo, Gretel De Paz, Jover Amistoso and JL Laurente all have big matches at UKC, with Gretel De Paz making her much anticipated Muay Thai debut.
JonJon Estrada is back to work, and has his sights firmly on his next big opponent, ultra gifted CDO boxer Jess Rhey Waminal. Estrada, known as "the Wolverine", has achieved cult status courtesy of his "don't die wondering" fighting style.
Philippines flyweight champ Ben Ligas, seen combining hard work with smiles while training yesterday! Ligas has a huge task confronting him this March when he defends his title against the precociously talented Jerven Mama. The Mindanao fighter known as "Iron Fist", is one of the rising stars of the Sanman stable, and he has his sights on returning home as the newly crowned national champ.
Jerven Mama and Ben Ligas are surely throwbacks to a bygone era, when real fighters were steered by the "duck nobody" policy! Their upcoming match will be for the Philippines flyweight title, where Ligas is the defending champion, and Mama is on a mission to take that mantle back to General Santos City. Both these outstanding young prospects have near identical records, and possess a common ideology :"If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best!"
Ben "the Sniper" Ligas said he'd defend his national title against the very best, and he wasn't kidding! The call went out, and outstanding Sanman boxer Jerven Mama was quick to respond! This match up shapes as one of the best bouts of the year, showcasing two of the potential stars of Philippines boxing.
Charly Suarez is without peer as the Philippines best boxer, his skills are ethereal. He is now fully immersed in the rough and tough pro fight game, and while skills pay the bills, this pursuit is clearly very different to the amateurs!
What does the powerpunching Estrada have planned for this year, and IS IT LEGAL! Prepare the bodybags!
Onward and upward, and the very resilient Lorence Rosas attacks the new year with renewed zest, returning for TIGER 2022 on March 5th.
Carl Jammes Martin, fresh off the back of a thrilling PH title fight with Mark Anthony Geraldo, returns for TIGER 2022 all guns blazing!
Will this be Suarez's first step towards a world title, or is this the coming out party for young Cebu sensation Tomjune Mangubat?
