YAP : "I'M GOING TO ASK HARD QUESTIONS !!"

Mark John Yap, pictured steep in the mountains of Cagayan de Oro earlier today, seems as EVERGREEN as his surrounds !

The "Journey Man" heads off to Cebu this afternoon, in readiness for tomorrow's weigh in for the Omega show this coming Friday.

"I feel very good, I haven't been doing much boxing, but running has kept me fit."

Yap is resuming from a loss in Surigao to unbeaten prospect Jerald Into, a hell fight that tortured both boxers to the point of failure.

Into has since jumped in weight class to 140lb, and was dominant in winning at the WBC tournament in Saudi Arabia.

"That fight was very hard. Jerald is a good boxer and above my weight class, but I was confident in my ability to win. But he was stronger than I expected, and my team didn't see that he had collapsed on his stool. So maybe if we saw that, the result is different, but I also felt ready to die "

quipped Yap.

About his upcoming bout with rising star Alexander Fredrikkson, Yap is equal parts excited and very relaxed.

"This was the boy I was meant to fight earlier this year, but GAB canceled. Thankfully we have another chance.

This is a good boxer, and I can see he has two knockouts in two fights. He has a lot of wins to come. But not on Friday !

Professional boxing is a hard game, and very different to the amateurs that he comes from.

It takes time to learn the tricks.

On Friday, we will get to see if Fredrikkson can be a good boxer when I am landing shots on him.

This will be his exam - and I will ask him hard questions.

Some I know for sure, he won't be able to answer !"

EYES WIDE SHUT

MAYBE HIS EYES WERE CLOSED AT THE TIME !

Referees are required to make quick judgments, often in unfortunate situations where their vision is obscured. And it's fair to assume at World Title level, we are seeing the absolute elite in referees and judges to officiate these big fights.

Many tendered that referee Edward Collantes was perhaps not in a position to adjudicate the cause of the Navarrete cut, and in the absence of obvious proof of a punch, defaulted to safer ground and declared a headbutt.

Seems reasonable !!

But in this picture, we see compelling evidence that the besieged Collantes had a perfect view.

He's right there in front think "Aargh - that's gotta hurt Vaquero ! C'mon man, pick up your game - this Suarez kid is punching holes in you now !"

This call by Edward Collantes is definitely just too hard to explain !!

On June 2nd, hopefully the California commission will make reparations to a joint mess created by both Edward Collantes and themselves.

In the meantime, reacquaint yourselves with the rules pertaining to accidental headbutts and the referees role in declaring :

The Unified Rules of Boxing don't explicitly state what a referee should do if they can't see the cause of a cut due to n vision. However, according to the rules regarding accidental fouls.

Accidental Fouls: If an accidental foul causes an injury severe enough for the referee to stop the bout, the outcome depends on the number of rounds completed.

Before 4 Rounds: No decision is rendered, resulting in a "No Decision".

After 4 Rounds: The bout goes to a Technical Decision, with the winner determined by the scorecards.

In cases where a headbutt is involved, the referee's judgment plays a crucial role. While there's no specific passage detailing obscured vision, referees are expected to:

Determine Cause: Decide whether a cut was caused by a punch or a head collision.

Consult Ringside Physician: If necessary, consult with the physician to assess the injury.

Given the lack of specific guidance on obscured vision, referees likely rely on their experience and discretion to handle such situations.

SUAREZ : THE DAY AFTER THE WAR

Most guys aren't so fortunate to get out of the ring unscathed after a war with Emanuel Navarrete.

Charly is looking bright as a button, and ready to go again !

He also had some interesting insights after yesterday's battle.

Charly said that he fought a completely different style yesterday to his normal, with the objective of tiring and knocking out his opponent.

He believed that even if he boxed and won every round, he would not get the judges' decisions.

He would need to KNOCKOUT Navarrete to win !

He also made these comments about the champion :

"He is a very strong and tough fighter. But his shots aren't as powerful as people think, and he never hurt me.

His punch is different. It's like a strong push and it can put you off balance, and he is very good at splitting the guard.

When I went backwards, I was trying to trick him to lean forward for my counter, but I lost balance sometimes because of his awkward pushing and punching.

I was never worried about his power, but in rounds 6 and 7, his punch became a lot weaker. He was standing in bad position to get hit, and I hit him a lot more.

I respect him, he is a warrior, but I was just warming up and he was breathing hard and making mistakes.

I know in my heart, he would not have finished the fight. "

REMATCH COMING UP

ROBBERY TO BE DOWNGRADED: NO CONTEST ?

SAN DIEGO – The California State Athletic Commission is expected to convert Emanuel Navarrete’s controversial technical decision victory over Charly Suarez to a no-contest, BoxingScene learned Saturday night.

A cut at Navarrete’s left eyebrow in the sixth round had been ruled the result of an accidental clash of heads. The fight ended at the start of the eighth and was sent to the scorecards. In the hours after an immediate judgment was made to award Navarrete the WBO junior lightweight title fight victory at Pechanga Arena, a subsequent replay emerged showing the champion’s cut was caused by challenger Charly Suarez’s left-handed punch.

If that had been the final decision in the minutes after ringside physician Dr. Robert Ruelaz ruled the fight to be stopped, Suarez would have been declared the winner by technical knockout.

Instead, referee Edward Collantes immediately ruled that the clash of heads caused the cut, and video replay official Jack Reiss said there was no conclusive evidence from the initial scenes he reviewed to overturn that call.

“Our rules on replay say unless it’s undisputed, the referee’s call shall stand, and this was very disputable," Reiss told BoxingScene. “I had quite a few looks at it. But nothing up close. And nothing at the correct angle.”

However, the later footage revealed Suarez’s punch opened the cut, and that has convinced the California commission to adapt, and label the outcome a no-contest that will provoke a rematch ordered by the WBO.

Following Saturday night’s confusing events, both fighters provided divergent explanations.

While the Philippines’ Suarez insisted his punch opened Navarrete’s cut, the champion from Mexico maintained it was Suarez’s head that caused a cut “two layers deep” and forced the bout’s outcome to the scorecards, which were returned 77-76 (Lou Moret), 78-75 (Pat Russell), 77-76 (Fernando Villareal) in Navarrete’s favor.

“I felt it was a headbutt. I saw the review. It seems like a punch, but it exploded two layers of skin,” Navarrete said to reporters while standing as the winner. “I didn’t want it to end. I was fine to keep going. I felt like the best rounds were still to come. But the doctor stopped the fight.”

He agreed Suarez gave him a demanding bout, and said, “He would be a great opponent. He is a great opponent. So a rematch would be good.”

Suarez, who took an 18-0 record into the bout, said he feels a rematch is justified given the dispute over the way it was settled.

“I thought I had a chance to win the fight. I had five more rounds to try to win,” if the bout hadn’t been stopped, Suarez said.

The fight was a highly entertaining scrap that saw both men swing for the proverbial fences, with each rocked in various moments.

Suarez said it reminded him of countryman Manny Pacquiao’s epic brawls with Mexican warriors, including Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera.

Suarez said he was saddened by the turn of events against him, but obeying the rulings instead of vehemently arguing with officials.

“I respect Navarrete because he’s a good boxer, and he’ll give me a chance to rematch after a fight that was entertaining,” Suarez said. “I’m sad, but I have the hope they will give me another chance. Maybe next time.”

Top Rank Vice President of Operations Carl Moretti immediately said after the bout that he would push for a rematch.

Navarrete had great difficulty making weight for the 130lbs title defense, but he said he didn’t feel weakened during the bout and he’ll decide during the two-month cut healing period if he’ll remain as champion or try again at lightweight after a title-fight loss at 135lbs last year.

“You saw the level of that fight and how it developed – in the seven rounds, I think we threw more punches than all of those fights [Canelo Alvarez-William Scull, Devin Haney-Jose Ramirez] last weekend,” Navarrete said. “I felt good. I felt competent. There were opponents you can say he made me look limited, but there were alternatives.

“Yes, there was pressure in making weight – 0.4 pounds with time against [me]. But the weight was made, I recovered, I felt good in there.

“The work we did in the fight is the work we planned.

“I’ll see what comes and make a decision,” on the rematch.

NAVARRETE MISSES THE WEIGHT!

NAVARRETE MISSES WEIGHT!!!

It took 3 visits to the scales, and a very unhealthy looking Emanuel Navarrete was finally passed for tomorrow's WBO World Title bout in San Diego against Philippines' Charly Suarez.

Navarrete, the current WBO junior lightweight champion, really struggled to make weight, initially missing the 130-pound limit by 0.4 pounds.

He needed most of the two-hour allotted time to trim the remaining weight, finally dipping to 130 pounds after an anguished expression and a groan when he was told he was still 0.2 pounds overweight.

"It hurts for a day, and then it's better the next day," Navarrete said about the weight cut.

Navarrete's matchmaker, Brad Goodman, noted that Navarrete might have chosen Suarez because he's a technical fighter with movement, which could pose problems for Navarrete.

"The last guy I would’ve picked is Suarez, because he’s a right-handed Denys Berinchyk. He’s going to chase Suarez down. Suarez switches lefty to righty. And it’s been seen already that he has problems with movers."

Suarez, on the other hand, made weight easily on his first try at 129.9 pounds.

"I will do my best. I've dreamed of this," Suarez said, raising his arms while on the scale. Suarez is treating this opportunity as a once-in-a-lifetime shot, knowing that there may never be another moment like this.

"This fight is a big answered prayer for me because we trained for this fight and this is my shot. I've been looking for this fight since two years ago".

Suarez's trainer believes Navarrete is still a dangerous fighter despite being 1-1-1 in his last three bouts.

"He's different from before. There's a lot of fights, a lot of sparring, so it's possible that he's changed his style and power," Suarez said about Navarrete .

The winner of this fight could set up a potential bout against Andres Cortes, with Goodman saying, "Navarrete is a real strong guy, and I expect him to assert that."

Navarrete's victory would allow him to join countrymen Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Rafael Espinoza in successful title defenses.

But perhaps Suarez is the final nail in the coffin that ensures this fight is one too many at 130-pound for the reigning champ Emanuel Navarrete.

"IT WILL BE EASY FOR HIM I BELIEVE"

Vietnam fight legend Nguyễn Văn Hải is predicting former opponent Charly Suarez to win the world title this Sunday against reigning champ Emanuel Navarrete.

"It will be easy for him i believe - he will win.

Charly he is an all round fighter, and Navarrete has never been in the ring with his equal.

Charly is the devil in contemporary boxing !!

And I have experienced and learned many lessons first hand - so I know what he can do.

Charly is as fast as a squirrel.

He strikes so quickly and often.

His accuracy is quite amazing, and I have never suffered it in my career like I did with Charly.

His opponents do not have enough time and space to work.

It is very confusing.

And it feels like you can get tired without landing shots. He is very hard to hit, and very good at counter.

If you make mistake, you have to pay. He is the devil.

This will be the same experience for Emanuel Navarrete. He will have to pay too !

Charly Suarez will win.

May 9, 2025

"CHARLY WILL REALLY SURPRISE HIM !!"

The morning before weigh in for the most important fight of his life - and you wouldn't know it !

Charly Suarez looks hydrated and in amazing condition, and at 131lb is only just over his scheduled weight.

It is hard to imagine opponent Emanuel Navarrete is enjoying things as much, as he has suffered some challenges making 130lb in past contests.

"Charly is in great shape and we had a very good preparation. " reported trainer Delfin Boholst.

"He is very relaxed, in fact it's me who is far more nervous!

We have studied our opponent a lot and have received much good advice from trainers who have experience with Navarrete.

To beat a champion like Emanuel Navarrete is of course not easy, but we are very confident in our fight plan.

Charly will really surprise him this Saturday night ".

SCARED CAT CORTES DISSES SUAREZ

"SCAREDY CAT" CORTES DISSES CHARLY BOY

Main undercard bout fighter Andres Cortes gives Charly Suarez no hope against reigning champ and red-hot favourite Emanuel Navarrete this Sunday in San Diego.

Whilst the boxer had words to say in dismissing Suarez's chances (even predicting his demise by knockout) - he failed to come clean about his team's decision to leave the unbeaten Filipino at the altar for a World Title eliminator late last year !

Now the scaredy-cat braggard is even talking up his next match with the champion Navarrete !

Andres Cortes favors Emanuel Navarrete over Charly Suarez :

*courtesy of BoxingScene

Junior lightweight contender Andres Cortes favors Emanuel Navarrete over Charly Suarez. Regardless of the outcome, he wants to fight the winner.

Cortes fights Salvador Jimenez in a 10-round bout on May 10 at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. The bout will be on the undercard of Navarrete-Suarez, which will be for the WBO junior lightweight title.

The 27-year-old Cortes, 22-0 (12 KOs), knows of Suarez well. They were scheduled to fight in September. Cortes of Las Vegas believes that Navarette will be leaving victorious in the main event.

“It could be difficult in the beginning, but he should end up finishing that guy, that's me being honest,” Cortes told BoxingScene. “I was supposed to fight Suarez. I did study him, so I know how it's going to go down.”

Cortes further explained the flaw he sees in the undefeated Suarez, 18-0 (11 KOs). Suarez, a 36-year-old fighter from Davao del Norte province in the Philippines, enters with 123 rounds of professional experience. Navarrete, a multi-division titleholder, enters with double the experience in terms of professional rounds at 246.

“His professional experience is very low,” Cortes said. “He hasn't fought anyone. He hasn't been hit with a hard shot. So, now he's going to go in there and fight a guy who hits hard. He's most likely going to fold.”

Cortes will be returning to the ring after nearly an 11-month break. He commented on his layoff and believes it was a positive.

“I had a good little break. I think I needed that mentally,” Cortes said. “I'm dying to get back in the ring. I want to stay busy and keep fighting. So, we get this fight out of the way and start looking for another one right away.”

An interesting subplot is that the 30-year-old Navarrete, 39-2-1 (32 KOs), suffered a loss a year ago at the same arena. Navarrete of San Juan Zitlaltepec, Mexico, was attempting to become a four-division world champion, but lost to Denys Berinchyk. Since that bout, Navarrete returned to defeat Oscar Valdez in December.

Cortes wants the winner of the main event, even stating that a fight between himself and Navarrete could be one of the best of the year.

“I would have been willing to go toe to toe with Navarrete for 12 rounds,” Cortes said. ”I think that's what the fans want to see. We could have delivered a fight of the year.”

For me, I’ll make my own name for that area.”

“Confidently and by God’s grace, I’ll try my best, and with the help of my team, we will beat him in this fight. This is it. This is my time, and this is a big opportunity to come to us. No matter what happens, I will win the fight. This is a big moment, a big opportunity that has come into my life, a one-in-a-million moment. I don’t want to lose it.”

WHEN YOU DREAM OF WINNING A WORLD TITLE, Every little bit helps !

Charly Suarez and Coach Delfin Boholst were joined by the Philippines' superstar Manny Pacquiao at the Elorde Sports Awards night last week in Manila.

The trio took a quick "time out" to devote some quiet prayer in aid of a better world - which surely must include success for the "King's Warrior" in his upcoming world title bid !!

Suarez will take on legendary Mexican Emanuel Navarrete for the WBO 130lb strap in San Diego on May 10th.

March 26, 2025

SUAREZ "BUT I KNOW I AM BETTER"

Statistics hardly favour challengers in world title fights, with champions winning by a landslide of more than 70% of those contested.

The task of taking on a highly recognizable star like Emanuel Navarrete in front of a very supportive and perhaps biased "home" crowd in San Diego makes a successful assault on a title even more formidable.

The Philippines' best fighter will start a despised "outsider" in the betting at his World Title debut.

Or put simply - Charly is a real LONGSHOT !

Yet those that have been close to Suarez - watched him, fought him, or even sparred him, quite rightfully ask

"How the hell can Navarrete beat this guy ??"

“San Diego is an incredible fight town, and we are thrilled to return with Emanuel Navarrete, who will go down as one of the great Mexican champions of his era,” said promoter Bob Arum.

“Charly Suarez is a determined, unbeaten contender who will have everyone in the Philippines cheering him on."

“I’m at a new stage of my career, and I’m fired up for another defense of my world title,” Emanuel Navarrete said.

“This fight motivates me.

Suarez is undefeated and dangerous. He’s ranked No. 1 in the world for a reason. He’s exactly the kind of challenge that fuels me.

I owe the fans in San Diego a win, and on May 10, I’ll settle that debt with a dominant victory.”

36-year-old Suarez (18-0, 10 KOs) makes his first attempt to become champion. The unbeaten contender from Asuncion, Davao del Norte stopped Jorge Castaneda in the third round last September and landed the WBO International 130-pound strap.

“I am thankful to Top Rank for this opportunity,” Charly Suarez said. “When I enter the ring on May 10, I will show the world I have what it takes. I won’t waste this opportunity.

Navarrete is a monster in the ring, but I know I am better.”

CHARLY SUAREZ WORLD TITLE MAY 10

Philippines best fighter Charly Suarez first came to Vietnam 🇻🇳 in 2019 to fight at Victory8 in Hanoi again the legendary Nguyễn Văn Hải. He loved his experience so much, he vowed to return, but tge pandemic conspired. It wasn't until late 2022 that the unbeaten Suarez got his opportunity, where he successfully secured belts at the FORTUNES OF WAR held in Vung Tau.

Those trips to Vietnam 🇻🇳 and training at VSP Gym were an important part of a very long journey in boxing for Charly Suarez.

It began as a 10 year old training with his papa, a long and decorated amateur career, folliwed by a long run of unblemished success in the professional ranks.

And now, at the tender age of 37, finally one of the most avoided boxers on the planet gets his WORLD TITLE shot !!

Big congrats to Charly and Coach Delfin - Navarrete is in trouble !!

Dan Rafael has revealed via his Fight Freaks Unite Substack tonight that WBO super featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KOs) will make the fourth defence of his title against the Philippines 🇵🇭 Charly Suarez 18-0, 9 KO)

Navarrete will defend his WBO strap against Suarez on May 10 at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, according to “sources with knowledge of the plans.”

The card will be promoted by Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.

Navarrete, a three-division world champion, is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport. The 30-year-old Mexican warrior is coming off a savage knockout victory over former world champion Oscar Valdez, reaffirming his reputation as an elite finisher. His relentless pressure and unorthodox style have made him a dominant force from 122 lbs to 130 lbs.

Charly “The King’s Warrior” Suarez, has been ducked twice by Top Rank stars previously, and finally gets his well deserved world title shot this May.

A former Olympian, and one of the most technically gifted boxers the country has ever produced, Suarez has long been revered for his ring IQ, slick counterpunching, and elite movement.

Despite being the big betting underdog, the Davao native has every intention of putting on a clinic against the hard-hitting Mexican champion.

Expect the ethereal Suarez to take Navarrete to school !

“I respect Navarrete as a great champion, but this is my moment,” said Suarez.

“I’ve spent my entire career preparing for this chance, and on May 10, Philippines will have a new world champion.”

That said, the champion Navarrete will surely be supremely confident in his ability to overpower his lesser known challenger.

Despite the odds, Suarez’s technical brilliance and discipline will present a serious challenge to Navarrete’s relentless attack.

With Filipino and Mexican pride on the line, this world title fight promises to be one of the iconic bouts of 2O25.

But fight fans expect an upset - and a new Philippines world champion named Charly Suarez this coming May 10th.

Bit of nostalgia here, but this FORTUNES OF WAR was an extremely fun event (despite the many dramas) and well worth revisiting. And you will see that there are lot's of familiar names on this historic fight card.

The Vietnam 🇻🇳 team was spearheaded by Dinh Hong Quân, a guy that had been on a winning run and was defending an IBF Title, but he was having lots of trouble with his weight in the lead up. He even collapsed at one stage and had to be resuscitated at one point !

We had top young prospects Lê Hoàng Hiep and Phan Minh Quân, who fought out of their skins against international pro boxers with more than 70 wins between them !

Nguyễn Văn Hải is obviously a legend on the local scene but had been inactive, so he was a bit of a "query" inclusion - yet he produced a memorable performance that culminated in two dramatic knockdowns.

But even more amazing was the debut of another Vietnam kid Thai Hoang Huy - this guy had never even boxed (he was a muay thai student that loved the idea of being a boxer !) And he went in with an opponent that had 14 knockouts in 15 wins - BIG BALLS !!

Suffice to say, the Vietnam 🇻🇳 team had a great experience and a lot of fun at this show - it was held at the beautiful Grand Ho Tram Resort in the coastal area of Vung Tau.

The visiting international team?

Well - some crazy talent on that side of the fence !

Philippines 🇵🇭 - Charly Suarez, Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, Jetro Pabustan and Jon Jon Estrada.

These guys share plaudits as multiple national and regional title holders, with the unbeaten Suarez currently on the precipice of a world title.

Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Paisal Panjaitan - a really top unbeaten prospect who is now #2 in his country.

Defry Palulu - an Indonesia #2 and WBC belt holder.

South Korea 🇰🇷 - Chan Ho Song - an unbeaten 12-0 guy with blazing hands and a World Youth champ.

Thailand 🇹🇭 - Anuson Thonglueang - a top youth prospect with only one loss in 14 bouts, and who currently sits at #2 rated Welterweight in Thailand.

Thanks for making this FORTUNES OF WAR a very memorable event boys, you put on a thrilling and entertaining show for everyone that was lucky enough to be there to see it.

VSP wish you continued luck and enjoyment in your boxing adventures ahead.

PS. the main event between Dinh Hong Quân 🇭🇰 and Arnel Baconaje 🇵🇭 was watched by more than 2 million people online !

SUAREZ SOON TO BE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

Philippines best boxer Charly Suarez and his coach Delfin Boholst were welcome guests of the Games and Amusements Board office this week :

"Rising global contender and undefeated boxer Charly Suarez poses with Commissioner Angel P. Bautista at the GAB Central Office.

Charly Suarez rose to the top of the charts after securing a technical knockout victory against American Jorge Castaneda in the third round.

Suarez is undergoing intensive training as he prepares for an imminent bout with reigning champion Emmanuel Navarrete for the WBO Super Featherweight World Title."

September 22, 2024

"I'LL SMACK CHARLY SUAREZ ANY DAY !"

World #2 Andres Cortes was not impressed with what he saw yesterday from the Philippines' champion Charly Suarez.

But his words of belittlement are surely a bit rich from a guy who vanished from the title eliminator match up without any explanation !!

Andres Cortes sparked controversy on social media by dismissing claims that he's afraid of Charly Suarez, his original opponent for Saturday's IBF title fight in Glendale, Arizona.

Cortes took to the comments section, boasting that he would easily defeat Suarez, even comparing him to the legendary Manny Pacquiao. "You tweaking, I'll smack him (Suarez) any day of the week, (him) and Manny Pac Man. They both old, no difference."

He also targeted Suarez's physical attributes, calling him "a 5'5", 37-year-old" (Suarez is listed at 5'6" and 36 years old on BoxRec).

"He's the easiest paycheck. I've seen him in the gym, and he's a very small old man, just being honest. I"ll send him back to his 9-5 !" claimed the cocky Las Vegas native.

However, Cortes' words are likely to haunt him as Jorge Castaneda, his replacement, suffered a third-round savage knockout at the hands of Suarez.

The victory solidified Suarez's reputation as a potential boss in the super featherweight division, while Cortes' comments have drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike.

Many have questioned Cortes' decision to withdraw from the fight, citing concerns over his credibility and courage. Many proud filipinos had plenty to say regarding the fugitive's snide remarks.

"Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder," said one. "Cortes' comments reek of desperation and insecurity."

"When you start mocking someone's age and physical attributes, it's a sign of weakness.

Suarez proved himself in the ring, while Cortes hid behind words." said another.

Cortes' future in the sport remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – his words have fueled a heated debate in the boxing community.

If he has a valid injury then we wish him a hasty recovery, but it has also been suggested that the evasive Cortes was baking cookies with his mother at the time that Suarez was knocking Castaneda into another galaxy.

CHARLY SUAREZ - FULL FIGHT CARD

The Philippines 🇵🇭 Charly Suarez heads to Glendale Arizona this Saturday where he takes on talented American fighters Jorge Castaneda.

Suarez will fight for the IBF International belt on a card headlined by outstanding Mexican Jaime Munguia.

Castaneda is a superb change of opponent for Suarez, and he replaces world #2 Andres Cortes in a bout originally billed as a world title eliminator and main undercard bout.

Mystery surrounds the withdrawal of Andres Cortes, but in reality, he was going to cop an ass whooping from Charly anyway, so Top Rank did the right thing by grounding him.

Bravo to Jorge Castaneda for stepping up.

A great fight coming this Saturday !!

September 10, 2024

SUAREZ FORCES TOP RANK STARS INTO HIDING

Henry Lebron and Andres Cortes obviously think so !!

This is the second time in his last three fights that Charly Suarez has turned Top Rank lions into pussy cats that don't wanna fight no more !

We understand the business Top Rank, but hey, if these pinup boys are ducking a 36 year old Charly Suarez - then surely they were never genuine world champion material in the first place ?

So let's send those boys to the back of the queue, and let's see what the new boy Jorge Castaneda can muster.

Castaneda is a tall orthodox fighter, with a nice jab and decent power. He's beaten some world class guys in amassing a 17-3 record, so he should at least be a good measuring stick for the Philippines star's world title claims.

But in future, please Mr. Arum - no more kitty kats ! Where's that kid Navarrete at ?

He loves a challenge, right ??

SUAREZ SENDS ANOTHER CHAMP PACKING !!

Charly Suarez confirmed his status of one of boxing's most avoided, two weeks out from a World Title elimination showdown with Top Rank star Andres Cortes.

World #2 Andres Cortes has sensationally pulled out of his fight with the Philippines phenomenon, and the circumstances have an eery similarity to a previous canceled bout with the unbeaten Henry Lebron.

The word is Charly Suarez has been lighting up sparring partners at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gyn in Los Angeles - and there were many "interested" observers.

News travels fast - and Andres Cortes has now bitten the dust.

Suarez was expected to be the 36 year old B side in Top Rank's game of Snakes and Ladders, but it appears the team of young lion Cortes have screamed a collective MEOW !

So another big name whimpers out, and Charly Suarez will now fight for the WBO International Title against American Jorge Castaneda 17-3.

CORTES A TOP RANK POSTER BOY ?

World #2 Andres Cortes (22-0, 12 knockouts) will face the Philippines’ Charly Suarez (17-0, 9 KOs) in a ten-round junior lightweight clash in Glendale Arizona on September 20th.

The bout will serve not only as the evening’s co-feature on a card headlined by recent Canelo victim Jaime Munguia, but is also pitched as a world title eliminator.

Both fighters are signed to Top Rank, with Suarez sitting on the tail of a three fight deal.

The King's Warrior is now 36 years old, and is definitely viewed as not being as marketable as Andres "Savage" Cortes.

And he certainly has not as heavily invested in as the Las Vegas native.

So should Philippines 🇵🇭 fans be worried ?

Anyone that has watched Charly Suarez can quickly see he is the most technically brilliant boxer that the Philippines has ever produced.

And he is without flaw.

No matter how good Andres Cortes (or any other for that matter) - Suarez possesses a fight template that is just so impossible to beat.

But as the "unloved stepson" in an already crowded Top Rank family, will the Philippines star likely get a fair shake in his upcoming bout in the States ?

Andres Cortes, who beat Teofimo Lopez twice in the amateurs was always viewed as a future goldmine before turning pro.

He has really impressive power and timing to go with his obvious skills, and possesses that killer instinct that fans go crazy for.

Upon signing with Top Rank, it was quoted :

"Andres Cortes is a tremendous action fighter and fits right in with all of the contenders at 130 pounds,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum.

“He’s earned a promotional contract and the right to fight on major cards. I truly believe he can be the next homegrown world champion from Las Vegas.”

Cortes said, “This is an incredible opportunity, and I’m thankful to Bob Arum and everyone at Top Rank. Every time I fight, it’s the ‘Savage Show.’ I strive to entertain the fans and give them action-packed fights. With this contract, the sky’s the limit. My goal is to fight in main events and eventually bring a world title home to Las Vegas.”

Cortes is coming off his most notable win to date, though perhaps almost his most disputed as well. The unbeaten North Las Vegas native edged Abraham Nova (23-2, 16 KOs) in a June 24 disputed points win in Las Vegas. With the win came the expectation of a title shot soon to follow.

That dream remains in place, though Cortes wisely chose activity while building towards that moment.

“Ever since the Nova fight, I’ve been working on my craft in the gym,” insisted Cortes, who fights for the third time this year. “I’m showing the world my full arsenal on September 20. I want a world title shot soon, and I need to earn it with a devastating performance over Suarez.”

There is no doubt that the September 22nd bout between Andres Cortes and Charly Suarez delivers the clash between two of the world's best 130lb fighters - so let's hope the result is clear and without controversy.

Charly Suarez for the win - and Philippines next world champion !

SUAREZ PUMPED FOR SEPTEMBER RETURN

Welcome faces at Elorde Gym today were Philippines' best Charly Suarez and former national team mate and coach Delfin Boholst.

Suarez has a pending fight in the States in September, but at this stage, no opponents are stepping up. The King's Warrior has been a heavily avoided fighter in his short pro career, and hopefully we see this future world champ suitably matched in this coming bout.

Pictured with the duo today are coach Jun Labandia, Giovanni Escaner, and of course the Queen herself, Her Majesty Cucuy Elorde.

VIETNAM GUEST WINS IN AMERICAN RETURN

Charly Suarez has been a regular visitor to Vietnam. He fought an exhibition bout with Nguyễn Văn Hải at Victory8 in Hanoi, and he won the WBC belt at Ho Tram against Indonesia’s champion Defry Palulu.

Today he was Stateside, winning his return bout in Corpus Christi Texas on a Top Rank event. Suarez broke his hand in August of last year, but resumed in style today in a near shutout win over America's Luis Coria.

It was an emphatic performance, and likely to earn Suarez a world title eliminator shot at his next outing.

SUAREZ SCARES OFF HENRY LEBRON TEAM

The Philippines' Charly Suarez always looks great in sparring, but apparently a session where the King's Warrior was "on fire" was witnessed by the coach of Henry Lebron - and was enough for them to immediately pull out of their world title eliminator next Saturday night.

Lebron has now been consigned to the "Top Rank Scaredy Cat" bench warmers list, and will be replaced by Luis Coria 15-6 in what is Suarez return from a broken hand last August.

A win for Suarez will guarantee him a world title eliminator at his next outing - and you can bet your bottom dollar it won't be Henry Lebron in the other corner !

Charly Suarez fights on a Top Rank show in Corpus Christi Texas next Saturday night April 13th.

April 6, 2024

SUAREZ BACK BETTER THAN EVER

The Philippines' best boxer Charly Suarez resumes next Saturday on a big Top Rank show in Corpus Christi Texas - 8 long months after sustaining a broken hand in August of last year.

Despite looking comfortable in a lopsided decision win, Suarez actually did the damage in round one against tough Yohan Vasquez, and was forced to fight the remainder of their bout in southpaw.

An incredible effort !

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez last fought in Vietnam in December 2022 (hence the Christmas tree !) and followed up his win at Ho Tram with a 4 title win in Australia over unbeaten star Paul Fleming.

Suarez has been promised a world title eliminator bout if successful in next week's American bout, and all his friends at VSP wish him a career defining performance on that big stage.

Good luck Charly boy !

SUAREZ IN HAND CAST FOR 6 WEEKS

The King's Warrior will have his broken right hand in a protective cast for the next 6 weeks, but the good news is, he is expected to make a full recovery.

Suarez staged an amazing effort to stay composed after injuring the hand early in round one, and being put under constant pressure by excellent Dominican Yohan Vasquez.

It was a bitter sweet US debut for the Philippines best boxer, who will be hoping for a ring return later this year.

August 27, 2023

CHARLY SUAREZ BREAKS HIS HAND

Despite a dominant win at his USA debut, the King's Warrior Charly Suarez was the victim of misfortune.

Suarez broke his hand early in round one, forcing him to turn to his amateur skills and box his way to victory. The Philippines star turned southpaw frequently in the bout to ensure he survived the ten rounds against his rugged opponent Yohan Vasquez.

August 27, 2023

SUAREZ WINS ON USA DEBUT

Charly Suarez turned away a scrappy challenge from Yohan Vasquez to enjoy a successful U.S. debut. after a ten-round, unanimous decision victory over Dominican Republic’s Vazquez. Scores were 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93 for Suarez in the opening bout of the evening.

Action from bell to bell was entertaining and competitive, to the point where Vasquez (25-4, 20KOs) was disappointed when he heard the lopsided scores. Suarez landed the crisper combinations and cleaner punches but was forced to fend off Vasquez who effectively cut off the ring in the middleweights.

Suarez—a 35-year-old from General Santos City, Philippines—regained control late in the fight to advance to 16-0 (9KOs). The bout was his third straight on the road, having previously posted wins in Vietnam last December and a come-from-behind 12th round stoppage of unbeaten Paul Fleming on March 15 in Sydney, Australia.

August 22, 2023

SUAREZ - FIGHT CAMP DONE - "LET'S FIGHT !"

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez has just completed his preparations in Las Vegas for this Sunday’s fight, and reports he is in killer shape and more than ready to fight.

Suarez will battle Dominican Yohan Vasquez 25-2, a hard hitter with 22 knockouts on his resume.

The Davao son was able to get some fast paced rounds in with both sons of fabled Ferocious Fernando Vargas, and also share the ring with Chris Eubank jr (pictured). Prior to that, the champ worked with Philippines national team members back home in Baguio.

Despite the calibre of his opponent, and the question marks surrounding his first bout in the US, Suarez will enter the ring a heavy favourite to put opponent Vasquez to the sword.

Suarez v Vasquez will take place at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa Oklahoma this Sunday.

SUAREZ STAKES UNBEATEN RECORD ON USA DEBUT AUGUST 26

CEBU CITY, Philippines– Charly Suarez, the unbeaten and world-rated super featherweight contender nicknamed “King’s Warrior” will debut in the United States on August 26, 2023.

The 34-year-old Olympian turned professional boxer will face Dominican Republic’s Yohan Vasquez in a non-title bout at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This will be Suarez’s first fight in five months. His most recent bout was nothing short of impressive as he wrested three regional titles and earned a world title bout.

Last March 15, he went to Sydney Australia to challenge the erstwhile International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental, International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental, and World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia super featherweight king Paul Fleming.

The Filipino scored a technical knockout in the 12th round against Fleming for a resounding upset.

The victory catapulted Suarez to No. 7 in the IBF super featherweight division, No. 10 in the World Boxing Organization (WBO), and No. 15 in the WBC.

He remains unbeaten with 15 wins and nine knockouts. Besides the three regional titles, Suarez is also the IBF Asia super featherweight king.

Meanwhile, Vasquez, 29, has a more experienced record. The former Dominican Republic lightweight champion holds a record of 25 wins, 20 knockouts, and three defeats.

The match represents a "stay busy" bout for Suarez, who was last seen fighting in Australia in March.

CHARLY SUAREZ MEETS THE PRESIDENT

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.

April 21, 2023

THIS IS THE FIGHT THAT "MUST" HAPPEN !!!

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 !

AUSSIE STAR HAS A "REMATCH CLAUSE"

Paul Fleming is arguably the most talented fighter that Australia has ever produced, and he carried an unbeaten record of 28-0 to the ring when he recently took on Charly Suarez in Sydney.

The Aussie champ put four titles on the line, and a world title eliminator was also up for grabs.

In what was a cracking contest, Fleming brought all his trademark energy and flair. The man known as "Showtime" is renowned for making great fights, his previous effort having been voted Australia's best of the year in 2022.

Suarez waits for notification from the Fleming team as to whether they wish to option a rematch clause in their contract.

Last night in Sydney, Charly Suarez moved a step closer to his world title dream with a knockout win over Australian Paul "Showtime" Fleming, an unbeaten star unbeaten in 28 fights.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is rapidly climbing in the professional ranks also. The "Hanoi Hitman" has 3 wins, and will be looking to add to his tally at VSP PRO on Saturday March 25th.

Those in the Yap camp say that this is the lightest they have seen the Journey Man prior to a big fight, and that his training has seen the experienced warrior ascend to new levels.

Moabi Ngaka is famed for his cardio, and has been reeling off 20km runs in amongst a torrid twice daily training schedule of sparring multiple partners at each session.

This will very definitely be a battle of Mark John Yap's experience and power versus the speed, movement and endurance of the younger and taller Moabi Ngaka.

VENGEANCE HAS A NEW NAME

Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" has been one of the Philippines' outstanding boxers of recent years, and will get the opportunity to take his talents to an international stage later this month.

The Silencer will meet the man that many regard as the best prospect in Botswana - Steven Bagwasi.

This boxing prodigy has a 9-1 record, and is touted as a future world star by those in the know.

But Arnel Baconaje is not one for reputations, and whilst respectful of his quality opponent, is certainly not daunted. The RP National champ sees a spot for himself on the world stage, and knows that an emphatic win over a star like Bagwasi will cement his position.

Baconaje has been the victim of some horrible decisions in the last couple of years, so on the road against Steven Bagwasi, he will leave nothing to chance.

"I know I have to hurt him to get his respect.

This is my first time to fight an African, so I'm very excited. Tell him the Silencer is coming!"

THAI HOANG HUY A VSP PRO ALUMNI

Former Muay Thai student Thai Hoang Huy ranks as one of the most active boxers in Vietnam, despite only embarking upon the sport a mere 18 months ago.

After an exhibition bout at Ho Tram, Huy decided to enter the professional ranks in 2O23, and despite his inexperience, won 4 of 6 bouts.

They say that boxing is a sport that affords you the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself whilst forging enduring friendships, and Huy has been fortunate to already share the ring with boxers from the Philippines and Africa.

It's in that regard that he enjoyed a lucky break.

Whilst competing in an event at Ho Tram, Huy was matched with Botswana's gun Moabi Ngaka.

Despite losing that bout, Thai Hoang Huy did enough to impress his African opponent, and he invited the Vietnam boxer to his country to compete on an international stage.

The RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO sees African nations take on an Asian Team comprising Vietnam, Philippines, China and India - and Thai Hoang Huy has earnt himself a "wildcard" spot at the event !

Huy will meet Zambia 🇿🇲 prospect David Kapusu, a man touted as a future African champion, in the opening bout of the show. Kapusu was a quality amateur before turning pro, and won his debut in promising fashion.

This is a significant test for Thai Hoang Huy, but a great honour to be opening an iconic International event, and as a former alumni, VSP wishes him lots of luck in Botswana on March 30th.

TWO WEEKS TO GO - TAGPUNO IN AUSTRALIA

Ferocious Fernando Tagpuno heads south to the sunny shores of Queensland with a singular intent - to dismantle one of the hottest prospects in Aussie boxing - Mr. Dana Coolwell.

The story goes like this :

TAGPUNO JR TAKES FEROCIOUS DOWN UNDER

It's the ignominious start to a pro boxing career that many must dread.

Abd it's the reason why all managers and promoters give their fighters easybeats when they first debut as professionals.

But there was no such soft path for "Ferocious" Fernando Tagpuno, who was to suffer defeats at his first two bouts when he met top flight Jonniel Laurente (8-1) and Daniel Nicolas (7-2).

The losses would make many question their career choice, but for Tagpuno Jr, he was simply emboldened.

VSP commented at the time that the performances were great, and despite the losses, this young fighter has a big future.

But Fernando Tagpuno needed to respond, and he did so, with FEROCIOUS intent.

Tagpuno siezed those early lessons, and then used them to batter 7 subsequent opponents !!

THAT'S SEVEN KNOCKOUTS IN A ROW !

And there are some pretty decent names in that hit list !

"Ferocious" Fernando has been rewarded for his escalating displays of violence with a title shot on March 23rd in Australia.

He is slated to take on outstanding indigenous prodigy Dana Coolwell for the IBO InterContinental Featherweight title in a bout that should blow the rafters off the Caloundra RSL Club.

"Deadly" Dana Coolwell rates as one of the most precocious talents in Aussie boxing, and was controversially defeated for a World Youth title while amasssing a 12-2 record. He is skilled, slick, and reminiscent of a young Paul Fleming.

The contrasting style of Tagpuno Jr will make it interesting - he brings pressure, and when he comes to your front door, he doesn't forget to knock. And he KNOCKS LOUD !!!

Great match up - Ferocious Fernando Tagpuno Jr v Deadly Dana Coolwell. Saturday March 23rd.

PHILIPPINES SET FOR AN AFRICAN SAFARI

Three weeks out and no signs of nerves, the Elorde team of Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, JonJon Estrada and Jetro Pabustan (trainer) discuss articles of war for the RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO on March 30th.

The event will match many of Africa and Asia's best boxers against one another in Maun, Botswana - a location that is the gateway to the iconic Okavango Delta.

All three pinoy have significant tasks ahead.

JonJon Estrada takes on South African champion Jeff Magagane in the featherweight class.

Arnel Baconaje meets Steven Bagwasi, arguably the best boxer P4P in Botswana.

Mark John Yap appears in the main event - a WBF International title match against local star Moabi Ngaka.

The three Philippines 🇵🇭 boxers will be part of an Asian Team that includes China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳 and Vietnam 🇻🇳.

"BACONAJE WILL THINK HE'S IN WITH A LION"

Take that sucker !

Steven Bagwasi confirms his status as one of, if not the, hottest properties in Botswana boxing, handing out another one sided beating.

Bagwasi will face Philippines super featherweight champion Arnel Baconaje at Maun Stadium on March 30th, and he is looking forward to the task with laser focus.

The boxer from Mahalapye was on the sidelines in 2023, but prior, had built an imposing 9-1 record. His lone loss was way back in 2018 by way of points to South Africa's champion Ayanda Nkosi (who was also WBF World Champion)

Many in Africa have a huge opinion of Steven Bagwasi, and likewise, he is a boxer with self belief.

"I will take Arnel Baconaje on a wild safari. When we are done, he will be thinking he is surrounded by lions. I am really looking forward to this one."

NGAKA TAUNTS MARK YAP TO GO TO WAR

Botswana’s Moabi "The Eagle" Ngaka " is a man well versed with the habitat of lions, and he will need to draw on all that hometown knowledge on March 30th when he steps into the ring with the Philippines' Mark John Yap.

The two boxers will contest the World Boxing Foundation International title - a main event contest over 10 rounds to decide the Super Featherweight champion.

And the task for Ngaka is daunting to say the least !

Despite being a talented member of the national team in Botswana, he has literally had to jump at the very limited pro opportunities that have come his way, amassing a 3-1 record. And if you include his bouts not listed in BoxRec, he is already 7-1.

There is no doubt that Moabi Ngaka has the makings of quality international boxer.

But against Mark John Yap - REALLY ?

It's just impossible to see that he has the experience to go with a man that has 17 years in the pro ranks, had an unbeaten run of 10 wins in Japan over 3 years where he tore some of their very best to shreds. Yap picked up three OPBF titles in a winning run that was finally ended in a points loss to world rated #2 Takuma Inoue.

But here's the interesting footnote - Moabi Ngaka specifically asked for the task ! There were a number of easier opponents that the African boxer could have taken, but he chose the Philippines Journey Man instead.

"I want Mark John Yap !! He is a warrior, so am I - so lets GO TO WAR !

I'm not here to play around, I train hard, and I fight harder. I want to test myself with real fighters, and they don't come any more real than Yap."

Those close to the Botswana boxer share his belief, and say he is ripe to pull off a big upset against his Philippines rival. Ngaka is renowned for his cardio and loose movement in the ring, and they are of the opinion that Yap will be air swinging on old legs in later rounds.

"I want everyone to tune in on March 30th - I will say that this will be a war, and I will drop Mark Yap. Maybe more than once. They will all be saying that the EAGLE HAS LANDED."

BACONAJE TO TAKE ON AFRICAN STAR

Classy Elorde boxer Arnel Baconaje will head to Botswana next month as part of a formidable Asian Team that will do battle with African nations.

"The Silencer" will take on Steven Bagwasi - a boxer that many rate as one of the most outstanding talents in Botswana.

Bagwasi has 8 wins on his resume, with only one loss, which was back in 2018 to South Africa's national champion Ayanda Nkosi.

But to tame a lion like Bagwasi, plenty of hard work and lots of skill will be required, and Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" was working on both today. Mixing it up with Arnel in sparring at Elorde was Japanese visitor Reito Takahashi, a highly promising 135lb fighter.

WOLVERINE HEADS TO THE AFRICAN DELTA

Crowd pleasing brawler JonJon "the Wolverine" Estrada heads for the depths of Africa next month, when he stars at the RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO show on March 30th.

Estrada will take on the sharp shooting Jeff Magagane, a man who has long been touted as one of South Africa's major talents.

The boxer was rated as high as #1 at various stages of his career, but lack of consistency of regular bouts have conspired against him winning a major title.

Jeff Magagane goes by the ring name of "911" - which gives some obvious insights into his style, but this boxer is much much more.

He is tall, rangy, has great hands, and is really adept out of both stances. He mixes his speed and delivery so well that when he is "on", he is equal parts deceptive as he is elusive. And with only one fight in 2023, Magagane is determined to post an emphasis performance against Estrada and get back into the world rankings.

As for JonJon Estrada - well,it's business as usual !

He is well versed with taller and faster opponents - he will be a dangerous snake in the grass waiting to strike. This is a significantly important match for Estrada, and he is expected to be a heavy underdog in this bout.

But as you know with the heavy handed Wolverine - simply learn to expect the unexpected !!

VSP PRO "CLASSROOM" TO THE BIGTIME

Thai Hoang Huy gets rewarded for his improving performances in 2O23 with his first bout outside of the country.

Huy only began boxing 18 months ago, and was inspired to try the professional game after contesting an exhibition bout with Philippines' JonJon Estrada. The Wolverine gave him encouragement to keep training and stay busy, and he took the advice from the experienced Estrada.

Thai Hoang Huy has since won 4 from 6 in 2O23, yet it was in his most recent bout, that he got a lucky break.

Despite losing to Botswana champion Moabi Ngaka, the African liked what he saw, and requested for Huy to have an opportunity to fight abroad in Botswana.

RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO affords that opportunity, and on March 30th, Huy will join 3 other Vietnam 🇻🇳 boxers in an Asian team that will tackle the African nations.

Thai Hoang Huy meets Zambia 🇿🇲 hotshot David Kapusu, a quality prospect that won impressively at his debut.

VSP wish Thai Hoang Huy lots of luck with his fight in Botswana - draw your inspiration from the LIONS !

THE RUMBLE JUST KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER

Team Africa just received a huge boost with breaking news that Kagiso Bagwasi will be joining the fray at RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO.

Bagwasi is a 5-0 pro and a former amateur standout.

The Botswana boxer started his professional career in blazing fashion, winning three bouts in quick succession before calamity struck.

Bagwasi was the victim of a vicious knife attack, leaving him unconscious and in need of multiple surgeries.

It was doubtful whether the talented welterweight would be able to resume his career after bicep damage incurred in the incident, but Bagwasi shed the drama like it was a second skin. It's perhaps why he has earned the ring name "Reptile" !!

Kagiso resumed in 2O22, and has been in stunning form - a shutout victory followed up by a stunning knockout win ( both on the road in Johannesburg) endorsed that the Reptile was better than ever !

This signing is a huge coup for Team Africa, and it will take a supernatural performance from any opponent to beat Kagiso Bagwasi on his home turf !

"MARK YAP WILL DROP. THIS IS WAR !"

The main event boxer that will face the Philippines' Mark John Yap has made the bold prediction that he will drop his counterpart at least once in next month's headliner.

This is a view that's endorsed by many in Africa that think Yap will age overnight, and that he doesn't have the speed or legs to go with his younger opponent.

"Africa is different man. It's really hot here, we are used to it. And we have lots to deal with every day, fighting is what we love, and to have old men come to our backyard and beat us ? C'mon man, that just not gonna happen.

Yah eish we are lions and we hungry !

Yap is a good fighter, but he won't be good against me. But respect - I know he will try hard, he will do his best to make it good for the people watching"

Moabi Ngaka heads a team of 11 boxers from the African nations of Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe to fight in Maun on March 30th.

Mark John Yap and Moabi Ngaka will compete for the World Boxing Foundation title at 130lb.

HAFENI NGESHEYA: "OKAY - LET'S RUMBLE !"

The African nations are renowned for their athletic talent, and RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO will showcase many of the continent's best emerging stars.

Namibia 🇳🇦 Lightweight prospect Hafeni Ngesheya is known in his country as "The Mexican" - courtesy of his dogged and relentless style, and his penchant for body assaults.

The 25 year old was one of the first boxers selected for Team Africa, a squad that comprises countries South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.

Ngesheya is unbeaten in his professional career, boasting 6-0 with 3 knockouts on his resume, and he is just getting started !

RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO presents another exciting challenge and opportunity for the Namibian prospect, who was impressive in his two wins in the back end of 2023.

And the challenge and opportunity are extremely real (and formidable) - Ngesheya will take on the "Hanoi Hitman" Nguyen Van Hai - a real cornerstone for Team Asia.

But Namibia 🇳🇦 are known for great fighters, and you have to suspect that when Hafeni Ngesheya steps into that ring on March 30th, we will be left in no doubt as to why this hot prospect is called THE MEXICAN !!

Moabi "The Eagle" Ngaka is scheduled to fight the main event, a WBF International title match with one of the Philippines best performed international stars - Mark John Yap.

Thai Hoang Huy will be the least experienced of four Vietnam boxers who have been included in the TEAM ASIA squad.

Despite taking up boxing only 18 months ago, Huy has wasted no time, racking up 4 wins in 6 bouts in the space of a year. Not one to avoid a challenge, Huy will appear in the opening match against Namibia's highly promising David Kapusu, who scored impressively at his much awaited debut.

ESTRADA PICTURE PERFECT AT WEIGH-IN

VSP regular JonJon "the Wolverine" Estrada returns to the ring in Pasay City Manila tomorrow night.

The cult status boxer has fought on many VSP shows in Manila, and also performed in an exhibition bout at Ho Tram Vietnam in late 2022 against local hopeful Thai Hoang Huy.

Estrada was controversially beaten by split decision against top level Jhon Gemino at his most recent outing, after having a point deducted for landing a "low blow".

The Wolverine is desperate to make amends for that "loss", so expect carnage in tomorrow's bout with Alvin Medura.

A knockout result by either fighter would be no surprise, with the Wolverine being favoured to be last man standing !

BOTSWANA SET TO WELCOME THE WOLVERINE

JonJon Estrada has some of the heaviest hands in the Philippines - and has the knockout stats to cure anyone's insomnia !

The predatory featherweight isn't known for his subtlety ot silky skills, but moreso for his ability to club opponents into submission.

And he's good at it too - 82% of the Wolverine's 17 victims have ended in a slumber.

Estrada fights heavy handed Alvin Medura next week in a prelude to a big international bout in the African jewel of Botswana on March 30th. And whilst it never pays to overlook an opponent, the Wolverine is planning to make Medura feel the wrath of a man who was controversially "beaten" at his most recent bout.

Estrada took on the high ranking Jhon Gemino in a rugged bout where he appeared to significantly outwork and outland Gemino, only to have a point deducted controversially for a low blow. The penalty made the difference, and the Wolverine was edged by split decision.

The Wolverine has vowed to make a statement in Pasay City next week, and then turn his attention to the Okavango delta.

JonJon Estrada will be part of a team out of Asia that will go head to head with some of Africa's most exciting fighters.

As for excitement, fans of the Wolverine know, he never fails to bring the BIG DRAMA SHOW !

YAP PUTTING MILES IN THE LEGS FOR AFRICA

African boxers are famed for their athleticism, their cat like reflexes, but even moreso, their crazy endurance.

Their boxers have great lungs, which makes them ever so hard to beat in longer fights.

And Mark John Yap heads to Botswana on March 30th for a leg sapping 10 round classic with local star Moabi Ngaka.

Ngaka is fabled for his cardio, and rises at 4am to knock off 20km road runs before the sun beats hard.

Well two can play at that game !

The "Journey Man" Mark John Yap competed in the Cagayan de Oro "marathon" earlier today, landing a top five finish in the 10km road race. And the good news is, he was doing his best work at the finish.

Yap will spearhead a top international team in Botswana Africa next month, and is adament that he will have the legs to go with a younger and hungry Moabi Ngaka.

Ngaka has already raised eyebrows stating he will drop Yap, and make a statement win that will shock Asia.

But dropping Yap will be no easy feat !

Mark John Yap has 34 wins on his resume, with his only losses in recent years being against unbeaten and world rated opponents. Often these were bouts taken at extremely short notice, or out of his weight class. He also has plenty of firepower of his own, sending 17 opponents to the canvas.

The war of words has only just begun !

TAGPUNO JR TAKES FEROCIOUS DOWN UNDER

It's the ignominious start to a pro boxing career that many dread.

It's the reason why all managers and promoters give their fighters easybeats when they first debut as professionals.

But there was no such soft path for "Ferocious" Fernando Tagpuno, who was to suffer defeats at his first two bouts when he met top flight Jonniel Laurente (8-1) and Daniel Nicolas (7-2).

The losses would make many question their career choice, but for Tagpuno Jr, he was simply emboldened.

VSP commented at the time that the performances were great, and despite the losses, this young fighter has a big future.

But Fernando Tagpuno needed to respond, and he did so, with FEROCIOUS intent.

Tagpuno siezed those early lessons, and then used them to batter 7 subsequent opponents !!

THAT'S SEVEN KNOCKOUTS IN A ROW !

And there are some pretty decent names in that hit list !

"Ferocious" Fernando has been rewarded for his escalating displays of violence with a title shot on March 23rd in Australia.

He is slated to take on outstanding indigenous prodigy Dana Coolwell for the IBO InterContinental Featherweight title in a bout that should blow the rafters off the Caloundra RSL Club.

The contrasting style of Tagpuno Jr will make it interesting - he brings pressure, and when he comes to your front door, he doesn't forget to knock. And he KNOCKS LOUD !!!

DINH QUAN vs YOJI SAITO

Kể từ "biến cố" với chiếc cân dẫn tới việc phải từ bỏ chiếc đai vô địch IBF Châu Á hạng nhẹ (lightweight, 61kg) hồi cuối năm 2022, Đinh Hồng Quân đã không có thêm một lần thượng đài nào trong hơn một năm vừa qua.

Thế nhưng, có một điều chắc chắn anh đã khẳng định trong lần thượng đài tiếp theo: lên hạng super-lightweight (63,5kg).

Ở trận đấu trở lại tại WBO Title Match: War in Paradise ngày 13 tháng 1 tới đây, Quân sẽ chạm trán đối thủ Yoji Saito - võ sĩ 28 tuổi người Nhật Bản đang được xếp hạng 2,5 sao trên BoxRec.

Nhìn qua bảng thành tích, Yoji Saito đang sở hữu 5 trận thắng - 4 trận thua cùng 2 kết quả hòa. Điểm đáng chú ý ở tiểu sử của võ sĩ người Nhật Bản chính là việc anh đều kết thúc các đối thủ trong những trận thắng của mình, và mới chỉ bị knockout một lần hồi tháng 3 năm ngoái.

Vậy, Đinh Hồng Quân có lợi thế nào trước tay đấm người Nhật.

Đầu tiên, Yoji Saito là võ sĩ thường xuyên thi đấu ở hạng super-featherweight, 59kg). Tức ở màn so tài sắp tới, anh sẽ phải tăng hai hạng cân, trong khi Quân chỉ phải lên một hạng cân.

Thứ hai, Đinh Hồng Quân đã trải qua các trận đấu kéo dài từ 10 tới 12 hiệp trong ba lần thượng đài gần nhất. Do đó, thể lực ở cuộc đối đầu kéo dài 8 hiệp sắp tới cùng Yoji Saito sẽ không phải vấn đề quá lớn.

Đó là thông tin trên bảng thành tích. Về thực tế, Yoji Saito là võ sĩ có lối đánh tấn công vũ bão ngay từ những hiệp đầu trận. Bằng chứng là 5 trận thắng knockout của võ sĩ này đều chủ yếu diễn ra trong các hiệp 1 và 2, trận thắng gần nhất cũng chỉ kéo dài tới hiệp 5.

Trái lại, hai trận thua gần đây của võ sĩ người Nhật Bản đều đến từ việc anh bị suy giảm thể lực trong các hiệp đấu cuối, dẫn tới việc mất thế trận hoặc bị knockout.

Không quá khó để nhận ra, với một đối thủ ở hạng cân trên và thường xuyên đấu nhiều hiệp như Đinh Hồng Quân, Yoji Saito sẽ cố gắng tạo áp lực ngay từ đầu hòng chiếm lĩnh điểm số. Đây sẽ là thử thách cho võ sĩ của Việt Nam khi phải thích nghi lại với việc thi đấu 8 hiệp, nơi Quân không có nhiều thời gian để thăm do hay thích nghi chiến thuật như các trận tranh đai.

WBO Title Match: War in Paradise sẽ bắt đầu lúc 16h00 ngày 13 tháng 1 theo giờ Việt Nam. Sự kiện sẽ được phát sóng trực tiếp trên các nền tảng của Fanpage - Youtube của Webthethao.vn

Đinh Hồng Quân

Đinh Hồng Quân là một trong những võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp nổi bật của Boxing Việt Nam. Tay đấm sinh năm 1998 từng giành chức vô địch IBF Châu Á năm 2022 với một trận bảo vệ đai thành công.

Đối thủ của Hồng Quân sẽ là võ sĩ người Nhật Bản Yoji Saito. Đây là tay đấm đã có 5 chiến thắng sau 10 lần thượng đài. Đặc biệt, tất cả các trận thắng của Yoji Saito đều bằng knock-out.

Trận đấu này sẽ đánh dấu sự trở lại của Đinh Hồng Quân ở hạng cân mới là hạng Super Lightweight (63,5kg) sau khi mất đai vô địch IBF vào cuối năm 2022. Chắc chắn võ sĩ của Việt Nam sẽ rất khao khát được thể hiện mình sẽ lấy lại niềm tin từ người hâm mộ.
