For those fans that are yet to see Jason Buenaobra, you are in for a treat! He is an athletic southpaw, that uses distance and range exceptionally well. He has an inherently natural jab, and he often double pumps this to great effect. He is a really nice fighter to watch, more cut from the amateur cloth, as he is constantly favouring regular touches to the opponent, rather than overusing power shots. This style can be quite hard to find in Philippines boxing these days! This fighter, originally from Sorsogan City, has the ring monicker “Manefisto”, and this name no doubt references his ability to chart the downfall of his opposition.

Jason Buenaobra resumed from a long lay off, and took on Ladrada last December. Showing no signs of rust, “Manefisto” showed beautiful ring control from the southpaw stance, and dominated his opponent for much of the fight. The points loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as he fought a better version of “Cerberus” Ladrada than Basas did, and he also enjoyed lots of great moments. That fight was also at featherweight, and no doubt, the move to super bantam will really assist his cause.

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.
