NGAKA TAUNTS MARK YAP TO GO TO WAR
February 29, 2024

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."

"MARK YAP WILL DROP. THIS IS WAR !"
February 19, 2024

"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.

TEAM ASIA MEETS TEAM AFRICA

 Former opponents - Vietnam's Thai Hoang Huy and Botswana's Moabi Ngaka, will meet again next month at a huge celebration of boxing in Africa.
RUMBLE IN THE OKAVANGO showcases many of the most promising boxers from the African nations, and pairs them with champions from the Philippines 🇵🇭, China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳 and Vietnam 🇻🇳. 
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.

YAP PUTTING MILES IN THE LEGS FOR AFRICA
February 4, 2024

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 !

WHAT'S COMING IN 2024 ????

While everyone is sleeping off the effects of too much food and beer - some of us are still working !!
Mr. Sang Bum Kim of Cocky Buffalo has been a great supporter to the fight industry and Vietnam boxers this year, and the big news is, he will be doing an iconic International show at Paradise City Korea on January 13th 2024.

This event will highlight three of Vietnam's best professionals - Nguyễn Văn Hải, Tran Van Thao and Dinh Hong Quân. 
These boxers are all booked in for huge bouts with foreign opponents, most notably Nguyễn Văn Hải. The "Hanoi Hitman" will take on Philippines 🇵🇭 star Genesis Servania, a winner of 33 of 36 fights.
Also appearing on the card is a very popular recent visitor to both Vietnam and VSP Gym - 🇧🇼 Botswana’s Moabi Ngaka.  
"The Eagle" will fight in Korea as a prelude to a big event planned for Maun Botswana on March 30th. Vietnam boxers will be represented at this show also.
More exciting developments coming soon.

BOTSWANA BOXER TO RETURN TO HCMC

BOTSWANA BOXER TO RETURN TO HCMC

VSP PRO 11 is set to be the biggest and best of the year !
There are soooo many talented boxers that were itching to fight, so expect to see a huge card on December 23 (at this stage, we have at least 12 fights !)
And of special interest to boxing fans will be the return to Vietnam of Moabi Ngaka (pictured) - a recent winner at the Ho Tram RUMBLE in Vung Tau. 
Moabi is a former youth champ in his native Botswana, and it's likely that he will perform a 6 round spar with Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải (who is a heavier weight class boxer)
Both fighters will use the VSP PRO show as a much needed "hit out" before heading to Korea for big fights at Paradise City on January 13th.

More news on the VSP PRO 11 fight card coming soon.

NGAKA: "I WANNA COME BACK TO VIETNAM!"
December 1, 2023

NGAKA: "I WANNA COME BACK TO VIETNAM!"

VSP PRO 11 will have INTERNATIONAL flavour !

Botswana boxer Moabi Ngaka made history recently as the first African to fight in Vietnam. 
And the boy revered as "the Eagle" had such a great time Ho Chi Minh City, that he says he wants to come back - ASAP !

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to get back into the ring again, and the Ho Tram show was like nothing I had previously experienced. And being the first African boxer, it made it very exciting. But the most memorable for me and my coach Simba was how friendly the Vietnam people are, and how much love they showed us. It will stay with me for my whole life".
"I heard that VSP are doing a show on December 23rd - and I want in ! 
I will be fighting in Korea in January, so it will be perfect preparation for me. I know Vietnam has some killers, so I like that vibe too - the Eagle is willing to fight anyone !!"
Moabi Ngaka is a confirmed starter for VSP PRO 11 on December 23rd, as is popular local boxer Thai Hoang Huy (pictured) who was the recent opponent of the Eagle at The Grand Ho Tram. 

Updates on VSP PRO 11 coming soon.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE  !!!
November 17, 2023

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE !!!

The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino will be the focal point of the best fight action Asia has to offer this Saturday night.

The headline event is the WBO Global bout between China's Zhu Dianxing and Thailand's Yotboon Sanchai over 12 rounds.

The China star was recently in Vietnam, where he totally dismantled top local Sam Minh Phát, and took his superb record to 10 wins with only one loss.

The main undercard bout is of huge interest to Vietnam fans, as it marks the return of "Trigger" Tran Van Thao to the squared circle.

Thao is Vietnam's best performed professional, winning 15 of his 16 bouts to date, and he looks to make his first match in over a year a memorable one. Trigger takes on tough Mexican Kenbun Torres, and when we say that, we are recommending that TOUGH and MEXICAN be made into one word ! Torres is dangerous too - in his 12 wins, 9 have tasted the canvas.

The other bout of note for Vietnam is the match between fledgling boxer Thai Hoang Huy and Botswana talent Moabi Ngaka (pictured).

Former Muay Thai student Huy turned to boxing only this year, yet has already picked up 4 wins and  scored  2 knockouts for the highlight reel.

African visitor Moabi Ngaka is known as "The Eagle" and at first glance, it's easy to see why. Ngaka is very tall and rangy, and likes to attack his prey from range.

This Botswana boxer has won two gold medals in national youth championships before turning pro, so he will have the experience edge over his very willing Vietnam opponent, but this has the makings of a really interesting fight.

"Ho Tram RUMBLE" will boast 6 great fights, with the action getting underway around 6.30pm.

MOABI NGAKA TO MAKE HISTORY IN VIETNAM
November 9, 2023

MOABI NGAKA TO MAKE HISTORY IN VIETNAM

Botswana boxer Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka touches down in Ho Chi Minh City next week, and aside from blazing hands, brings something for the record books with him.

Ngaka will appear at a top quality international show to be held at The Grand Ho Tram Resort next Saturday night, and in doing so, will be the first African pro boxer to fight in Vietnam.

The Eagle will take on local prospect Thai Hoang Huy, a boxer who has been rewarded for his escalating performances in the VSP PRO series, where he attained a 4-1 record.

His lone loss was a debated split decision, so Huy could easily be 5-0 in the stats.

But the Botswana visitor represents a big jump in class for the HCMC based prospect.

Moabi Ngaka has had over 60 amateur fights, winning 3 gold in national youth, and silver and bronze at senior level.

His pro record is 4-1, and last year, he won the WBF  super bantamweight title in a fantastic 12 rounds display over the incumbent champion.

The fight next week in Vung Tau is a "MUST WIN" for the African boxer, who has been promised a title shot in Maun Botswana on December 15th if he is successful against Thai Hoang Huy.

Ngaka has been out of the ring for almost a year now, and only time will tell if that will play any part in his performance against a less experienced but feisty Vietnam fighter.

THERE'S A SANDSTORM IN MEXICO !

Recent Philippines invader Linn Sandstrom had her first sparring session in Mexico yesterday. The Aussie based fighter is motivated to fast track her learning there, due to the abundance of great quality female athletes.

Sandstrom is looking to keep busy and fight upon her return to Australia, and says she will keep her options open after that.

TESORO OUT TO ACE THE OPPOSITION

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.

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.

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 !
March 15, 2022

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.

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
March 12, 2022

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.

FIGHT OF THE YEAR CONTENDER

AMAZING AND DRAMATIC !
March 12, 2022

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
March 12, 2022

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
March 12, 2022

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 !

IMPOSSIBLE !
March 12, 2022

IMPOSSIBLE !

Jonjon Estrada behind on the cards, and getting a boxing lesson from Mindanao's Jess Rhey Waminal,  scores two crushing knockdowns to win the fight.

Jess Rhey Waminal looked all class, and was picking Estrada apart.  He just needed to keep boxing to ensure victory.

Estrada now 15 wins 14 knockouts.

THE WOLVERINE !!!   WOW !!

MICHAEL DASMARINAS WINS
March 12, 2022

MICHAEL DASMARINAS WINS

Has Michael Dasmarinas found a new home at featherweight ?

We hope so !

This is the strongest and most energetic that he has ever looked.

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!

ARNEL BACONAJE WINS
March 12, 2022

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
March 12, 2022

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.

PUMICPIC v CANADA TECHNICAL DRAW
March 12, 2022

PUMICPIC v CANADA TECHNICAL DRAW

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

ANOTHER TECHNICAL DRAW !

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!

GIOVANNI ESCANER WINS
March 12, 2022

GIOVANNI ESCANER WINS

Giovanni Escaner was class from the opening bell, and had opponent Albert Alcoy in trouble at the end of the first round. Escaner continued his good work in the second, forcing Alcoy to the corner, before landing an overhand shot to the temple, and closing the show.

JASON BUENAOBRA WINS
March 12, 2022

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
March 12, 2022

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.

ALMACEN v BENTOSO TECHNICAL DRAW
March 12, 2022

ALMACEN v BENTOSO TECHNICAL DRAW

Jonathan Almacen suffers a cut in round three and is unable to continue, forcing a technical draw.

Almacen won the first round, but the resuming Bentoso looked great in the second.

Shame, was looking like developing into q really interesting fight.

AMAZING FIRST FIGHT !
March 12, 2022

AMAZING FIRST FIGHT !

In a match where Majadas tried to land the heavier leather,  and Antonio showed the higher skills and deft touches, the judges called it a DRAW!

Great fight, and a returning Antonio,  maybe slightly unlucky on the scorecards.

“WE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL RUN”
March 12, 2022

“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.

"WE WILL ROCK YOUR SHOW  LET'S GO !"
March 9, 2022

"WE WILL ROCK YOUR SHOW LET'S GO !"

Omega coach Julius Erving Junco with pride of Cebu and main event fighter Tomjune Mangubat.

The super talented Mangubat is fighting the hottest property in Philippines boxing, the former Olympian and unbeaten pro, Charly Suarez.

So clinical has the King's Warrior been since leaving the amateurs, he is yet to lose a round in 9 fights (6 KO)

Mangubat has built an impressive resume of his own, racking up 15 wins against some quality opponents. Three of his last 4 fights have been wicked and thunderous stoppages!

The clash of these two super fighters promises to be a thriller.

"We are always up for the biggest challenges. We can't wait to perform. Let's go champ! We will rock your show!" enthused a supremely confident and proud Coach Julius.

This will be a fight to tell your grand kids about!

Do not miss it for anything.

Make no mistake, Tomjune Mangubat is perhaps the hottest prospect in the country right now, and at the age of just 24, is already planning the downfall of the best fighter in the Philippines.

JUST WOW !

D'STRIKER IS READY FOR A SANDSTORM !

D'STRIKER IS READY FOR A SANDSTORM !

Cagayan de Oro fighter Aisah "D'Striker" Alico has arrived in Manila, and is looking forward to her clash with Australia's Linn Sandstrom this Saturday.
Alico, who has 7 career wins (5KO), hasn't fought since March 2019, but has shared the ring previously with world class opponents. In contrast, Linn Sandstrom with 2 wins, is way less experienced, but has the advantage of being more recently active. The boxer known as "Sandstorm" had a solid victory in Brisbane last Thursday night at the No Limits Boxing show in Australia.
On arrival in Manila, the Mindanao girl said "It's HOT!" and headed straight to the pool for a cool down. Few could blame her, and for sure, expect things to get heated in her match this Saturday.

SANDSTROM LANDS IN MANILA

Australia's Linn Sandstrom has touched down in Manila, and headed straight to the Elorde Southbox gym first thing this morning to shake off the jet lag !

Swedish born Sandstrom, who only recently turned pro, scored her second win on Thursday night at the big No Limits Boxing event in Brisbane.

Sandstrom has an unusual back story, having formerly being a high level table tennis player in Sweden, before discovering her true passion for boxing once she arrived in Australia. A relatively late comer to the sport, Linn is on a fast track to learn the game, and her plan is, stay as busy as possible !

Linn Sandstrom will fight CDO girl Aisah Alico in the opening fight at TIGER 2O22 on Saturday. Alico has recorded 7 wins (5 KO), but may have to contend with ring rust having not competed since 2019.

RUIN SUAREZ'S WORLD TITLE PLAN ?

RUIN SUAREZ'S WORLD TITLE PLAN ?


Tomjune Mangubat and his team from Omega Cebu are super confident that they have the boxer and the game plan to bring down the Philippines best Charly Suarez.
The match is scheduled for 12 rounds, and they say the skillful Suarez will wish he was back in the amateurs !
The Mangubat team claim that the King's Warrior is on old legs, and he won't be able to run all night. And if Suarez tries to go toe to toe, he will get hurt by the bigger and very physical Tomjune Mangubat. In fact, they predict that Charly Suarez won't see the final bell!
Them's fighting words!
But one thing for sure, Tomjune Mangubat is one of the hottest prospects in Philippines boxing, and looks destined to develop into a world class fighter.
His clash with Charly Suarez will prove a very significant milestone on that journey.

"WONDER BOY WINNING STREAK IS OVER"


Ronnie "Jong Jong" Baldonado and Michael "Hot'n Spicy" Dasmarinas have the rounds in the bank, and are super confident to put on blazing displays in Manila next Saturday.

Baldonado is a powerhouse bantam moving up to challenge the unbeaten Carl Jammes Martin for the WBA Asia strap. Whilst being a big admirer of the precocious Wonder Boy, the punching wizard Baldonado puts it bluntly
"He can't beat me, so his winning streak will be over!"
Michael Dasmarinas had an unfortunate no contest at his most recent, when the durable Ernie Saulong received an accidental head gash. The classy Dasmarinas will ensure no repeat of that, when he meets total "pain in the ass "opponent Danny Tampipi, a southpaw renowned as both durable and awkward. Wanna know more?

Jino Rodrigo and Remon Basas chillin' and getting a tan now the hard work's been done !
These Olivetti trained boxers have big fights coming at TIGER 2O22 next Saturday.

Jino rematches the highly experienced Roberto Gonzales, and based on their very close first fight, expect fireworks !
Bad Bad Basas is a super strong and improving type, and he takes on a more experienced and skilled Jason Buenaobra. Both these guys did great with a common opponent in Lorenz Ladrada, so their clash should prove one of the more interesting matches of the big 15 fight card.

Ben "the Sniper" Ligas suits up for his Philippines Flyweight title defense next Saturday in Paranaque.
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 !
The Sniper will defend his belt as one of the main undercard bouts to the huge Charly Suarez v Tomjune Mangubat WBA Asia clash.
TIGER 2O22 will play host to a mammoth 15 killer bouts, and many of the champion fighters will be dressed by BE ATHLETIC !
Lots of thanks to Raoul Navarrete and his hard working team for making these stars look their best.

THE JUICER2 SHOW COMING YOUR WAY !

THE JUICER2 SHOW COMING YOUR WAY !

Ben "the Juicer" Mcculloch was one of the best boxers Australia has ever produced, winning 14 straight and getting to world rank #3 as a super middleweight. His signature was his beautiful balance, distance and rotational power, often producing decapitation style knockouts. And it always looked so effortless!

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. His defensive base is solid, and he simply never gives cheap shots away to opponents.

Says McCulloch : "I love this guy, especially when I've seen him work with Suarez and Pumicpic. He has the really nice distance and jab, and has that nice Bernard Hopkins /James Toney roll that I used to love when I fought. But you know what, I can see a lot of Canelo in JUICER2, he really is QUALITY !"

Juicer2, also known as "the Silencer ",will be appearing next week at TIGER 2O22 in Manila. Tune in, and judge for yourself ! He is a special fighter.

CREATI AND SANDSTROM SCORE WINS
March 4, 2022

CREATI AND SANDSTROM SCORE WINS

Big congrats to former Victory8 and world team members Danilo Creati and Linn Sandstrom on great wins in Brisbane last night.
"Dash" Creati put on a clinic, besting the outstanding Cameron Hammond, an Olympian who had won 18 of 19 pro fights. Creati was untouchable, winning by shutout and dropping his opponent twice during the contest.
Linn Sandstrom showed the benefits of a great camp, and better shot selection, in her victory over Ali Jensen. In an entertaining match, the Swedish born Sandstrom sent her opponent to the floor twice, but plenty of punches were still exchanged till the final bell.
Philippines Joe Noynay had a below par performance, stopped by a beautiful left hook in the second round from a vengeful Liam Wilson. Noynay weighed in 4kg over and his poor showing remains a puzzle.

ESTRADA LOOKS TO IMPOSE HIS WILL
March 3, 2022

ESTRADA LOOKS TO IMPOSE HIS WILL

Can the face of violent imposition look so impossibly handsome?

Jonjon Estrada plans to answer that question with an exclamation mark, when he takes on the hugely talented Jess Rhey Waminal, at TIGER 2O22 on Saturday March 12th.
Both fighters sit on 14 wins, both fighters are similarly ranked, but their modus operandi couldn't be any more different, and this makes it compelling viewing.

Mindanao boxer Waminal was a quality amateur, and he shows those beautiful technical touches as a pro.
The Wolverine has gained cult status because of his very neanderthal approach, he stalks his prey with a low and crouching style, and carries knockout power in both hands. He has morphed into one of the most feared boxers in the Philippines, courtesy of his 13 "put your lights out" stoppage victories.
BUT DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE SMILE !
DOES "VIOLENCE" HAVE A FACE ?

Australia's Linn Sandstrom made weight easily for tomorrow night's clash in Brisbane against Ali Jensen.
The boxer known as "Sandstorm" has a busy schedule ahead, appearing again at TIGER 2O22 Ultimate Knockout Challenge on Saturday March 12th.
Linn takes on CDO girl Aisah Alico, a winner of 7 fights, but she is resuming from a two year break from the sport.
This will no doubt be a challenging bout for both girls, and it will be great to finally see women's boxing making a welcome return to Manila.

CHARLY SUAREZ WINS BY KO (2ND FIGHT )
February 28, 2022

CHARLY SUAREZ WINS BY KO (2ND FIGHT )

Charly Suarez took on the unbeaten Justin Cabarles in his second professional bout. Cabarles was a tall unbeaten orthodox with lots of skills and potential.

In his previous fight, Cabarles won against another unbeaten prospect by the name of Jhunrick Carcedo. The merit of that Cabarles victory was obvious, as Carcedo won his subsequent four fights by KO, and is now the #2 ranked super lightweight in the Philippines.

Enjoy the round two action of Suarez in his second pro fight, against a very game Justin Cabarles.

Suarez is now 9 and 0 as a professional, and fights Tomjune Mangubat for the WBA Asia title in Paranaque on Saturday March 12th.
