LADRADA AIMS TO WIN AND WIN PRETTY

VSP boxer Lorenz Ladrada has had a busy and successful campaign in 2021, after a two year hiatus from the sport. The native of Bukidnon , and a former prospect with ALA in Cebu, has trained  with the strong Elorde team in Manila since January. Next week Ladrada returns to the ring against quality southpaw Jason Buenaobra, and is looking to an emphatic win to close the year in style.

Lorenz “Cerberus” Ladrada has boxing in his blood. He left school at 10 and was a member of the Cagayan de Oro boxing team. By the time he was 17, he had joined ALA promotions in Cebu and made his professional debut. His last win for that organisation was in 2019 against Rimon Rama, and it was not long after that that the pandemic hit and Ladrada returned home to Mindanao.

It was a far heavier than previous version of the fighter that got on the scales on the first day of the year and weighed 146 pounds! Many even thought that Cerberus was pregnant!!  But Ladrada managed to take off 20 pounds by February, and scored an impressive comeback win against the very physical Remon Basas. “Cerberus” followed up on this first up effort with excellent wins against Marklin Itim and Claudevan Sese, showing pleasing improvement with each match. His most recent match was definitely his best performance of the year, albeit a narrow loss at the hands of Gary “the Hawk” Tamayo. Ladrada and Tamayo had generated a great rivalry even before they stepped in the ring, and the match between the two top prospects didn’t disappoint. Southpaw Tamayo got the best of the early rounds, and Ladrada did the better work late, culminating in an exciting split decision win to Tamayo.

Lorenz Ladrada promises anyone that will listen ythat he will deliver his best performance of 2021 next week at the Ultimate Knockout Challenge in Paranaque. He boasts that all his signature moves of fast footwork, elusive defense  and exhilarating shot selection will of course be on show. But he says that there is more, and that he is far better prepared for a quality southpaw like Buenaobra this time. Ladrada warns that his angles, his distance, and his punch volume will be a big step up from what he showed against Tamayo.

For sure, he will need it! Jason Buenaobra is a measured southpaw with great ring IQ!

Never one to worry, Lorenz “Cerberus” Ladrada has declared that he will win, and he will win pretty!.
