SUMUGAT TO COME KNOCKING AT UKC

It is no secret that the very popular Roy Roy Sumugat is one of the Elorde stable’s more “social” characters! But when in top shape, this stocky southpaw is one of the Philippines most under rated talents, and is capable of mixing it with the very best. And the great news is that Big Roy Sumugat is back next week at the Ultimate Knockout Challenge in Paranaque! Sumugat is originally from Bacolod City, but is now based in Manila with the Elorde team. He is constantly surrounded by quality fighters in that environment, and there is no doubt that the man known as D’Hammer has flourished this year with some regular sparring and competition. Roy has a natural flair for distance and timing, and knows how to drop the hammer when he has an opponent in trouble.

This former “part time” fighter is a major talent, and he has already notched up 12 wins against formidable opponents. D’Hammer has scored two stoppage victories already in 2021, and he shows no signs of slowing up!! In May he landed a surprise round one knockout over the rugged Eljohn Evangelista, and followed up in September with another knockout win over Glenn Bismanos. That match proved to be a great test of character for Sumugat, as he was actually dropped himself in round one, and bounced back to eventually wear down the dangerous Bismanos. Next month Big Roy returns, this time at the invitation of Juanito Paredes, a winner of 5 of his last 7 bouts. Paredes, also known as El Kapitan, is an excellent technician that boxes orthodox, so this should be a great bout showcasing patience, skills, and power between these two, But for the smiling RoyRoy, his ring name has been well earnt, and he certainly has great instincts when it comes to knowing the exact time to drop “D’Hammer” !

BANG BANG - HERE COMES D'HAMMER !

RoyRoy Sumugat returns to the ring on March 30 to take on top young prospect Richard Bulacan.

The swinging southpaw from the Elorde team is one of the most natural talents in Philippines boxing, and combine that with his vast experience, Sumugat always presents as a formidable opponent.

Bulacan is an awesome talent, and though only 23 years of age, has already racked up 8 wins to launch his pro career. Despite his successes, Big Roy Sumugat represents his biggest potential scalp so far.

This is a great undercard bout in Pangasinan. Expect RoyRoy Sumugat to come swinging that HAMMER  !

D'HAMMER STALKED BY A KILLER !

D'HAMMER STALKED BY A KILLER !

Quality match up at 130 between RoyRoy Sumugat and Ivor "the Killer" Lastrilla.

The Killer showed enterprise and even dominace early in this match, with Big Roy Sumugat keeping a cool head and probing for opportunities as the fight progressed.

D'Hammer was really composed and strong at the end of this one, and showed he has plenty more great performances to come. Lastrilla was impressive in parts of this contest to, he sets up some combinations on southpaw Sumugat that were really thoughtful.

This Sumugat v Lastrilla match up was really good to watch !

Despite a slow start, RoyRoy Sumugat wore down a very good looking Ivor Lastrilla.

Lastrilla appeared to outbox Sumugat in the opening sequence, and he looked to be in career best form. He definitely created problems for RoyRoy, and there are wins in store for this smart boxer without doubt. But it was Sumugat to the fore in latter rounds, with his accuracy and nice combination punching earning him the stoppage.

D'HAMMER is back in a big way. He looked rock solid against a quality Jufel Salina, and is looking to build on that performance against a really smart fighter in Ivor Lastrilla.

Jerald Into is rapidly improving young fighter,  and is potentially the best 135 in the land, but has he bitten off more than he can chew at this stage with a killer named Eduardo Mancito ? Love this fight, Mancito has fought the best (even Suarez ) and he did great. This is very definitely one of the best fights all day.

SUMUGAT SUPERB AT TIGER UKC RETURN
August 9, 2022

SUMUGAT SUPERB AT TIGER UKC RETURN

RoyRoy Sumugat and Jufel Salina turned on a battle for the ages in Parañaque on Sunday.

Jufel Salina is a top prospect who just impresses and improves with each bout, and his clash with "d'Hammer" was quality, high workrate, non stop action from the opening bell. The performance of Salina was so good in fact, it would have been no surprise if the referee had raised his hand after the final bell sounded.

Roy Sumugat had a splendid 2021, but was unfortunately stopped in his last match of the year, and his clash with Salina marked his long-awaited ring return. He weathered some great shots from Salina, but never looked vulnerable, and his accuracy in returning with meaningful work of his own clearly swayed the judges.

RoyRoy looked really composed and balanced against a "come to win" opponent, and this strong southpaw delivered quality responses every time he was asked a serious question.

This match reinforced the rise in calibre of Jufel Salina, and even more so, the level of performance that RoyRoy can produce under pressure.

Great first up showing from D’Hammer !

WE’RE HEADING SOUTH !
July 11, 2022

WE’RE HEADING SOUTH !

It may get rough, it may get ugly, but it’s also one of the most highly anticipated match ups at ANNIHILATION UKC this August.

RoyRoy “d’Hammer” Sumugat meets Jufel “the Lion” Salina, and they are vowing to test each other “mano e mano” - in true Southpaw style!

Jufel Salina resumed from almost a two year absence to score an  excellent stoppage win against Kresler Tenorio at the end of 2021. The Lion has managed to stay busy in 2022, and it has paid dividends. He faced the promising Jonniel Laurente in February, and in what appeared anybody’s fight, the judges agreed. Tenorio earned a Majority Draw, and in this match he really displayed significant improvements on his first up win. He then faced a really promising type in the shape of Justin Cabarles, and while its fair to say his opponent had some ring rust, the manner in which Tenorio stopped Cabarles was ultra impressive. This Davao born fighter has now scored 5 wins, 4 coming by knockout, so he obviously lacks nothing in the power department. The Lion is a rapidly improving fighter on the upswing. He’s dangerous!

Roy Roy Sumugat makes his return to the ring after an unfortunate (and unexpected) stoppage loss at the hands of Juanito Paredes in late 2021. It was a match theat the man known as D’Hamer was favoured to win, but one that he will nonetheless derive plenty of benefit. Till then , it was a very successful year for the charismatic boxer.

D’Hammer had scored two stoppage victories already in 2021, and was showing no signs of slowing up!!

In May 2021, he landed a surprise round one knockout over the rugged Eljohn Evangelista, and then followed up in September with another knockout win over Glenn Bismanos. That match proved to be a great test of character for Sumugat, as he was actually dropped himself in round one, and bounced back to eventually wear down the dangerous Bismanos.

Sumugat is originally from Bacolod City, but is  based in Manila with the Elorde team. He is constantly surrounded by quality fighters in that environment, and there is no doubt that the man known as D’Hammer has flourished this year with some regular sparring and competition.

Roy has a natural flair for distance and timing, and knows how to drop the hammer when he has an opponent in trouble. This former “part time” fighter is a major talent, and he has already notched up 12 wins against formidable opponents.

Be in no doubt that RoyRoy will have recovered nicely and will be in crazy shape for his assignment with Salina.

This promises to be one of the standout bouts of the day, but will also provide a real measure of how far Tenorio has grown as a fighter, or alternatively, how wilfully a vengeful Sumugat can out skill his less experienced opponent.

ARGIE TOQUERO IS VIETNAM BOUND

Manila super lightweight Argie "Bomba" Toquero is back in action Saturday April 23rd when he takes on Abdurasul Ismoilov for the vacant WBO Oriental title.

The return marks a more than two year absence for the injury plagued southpaw, who's most recent effort was in beating Jimmy Borbon way back in February of 2020. Timing and power are the assets of the strongly built Toquero, who has scored 10 stoppages in his 13 wins.

Uzbekistan's Abdurasul Ismoilov is a formidable opponent, and is when based in Vietnam, he regularly spars at the VSP Gym in HCMC.

Whilst better known at lightweight, Ismoilov is a really technical southpaw, who has the ability to seamlessly shift stance. A winner of 9 of his 10 bouts, and robbed in his losing bout, it's hard not to be impressed with the skills of the Uzbekistan fighter. He is always well balanced, and similar to Toquero, he boasts plenty of firepower.

This is a high quality match up, and we will bring it to you live from the Ho Tram Casino resort on Saturday April 23.

THE YAP DOG IS BITING IN 2O23

THE YAP DOG IS BITING IN 2O23

Mark John Yap opened his new year account in stunning fashion, scoring a stoppage win over what appeared to be a very good version of Philippines Lightweight Leonardo Doronio.

Unable to secure a suitable 130 opponent for his first hitout of the year, Yap opted to jump a weight class and get a physical exam with the vastly experienced and durable Doronio.

It was very noticeable at the weigh-in, that aside from being the much larger boxer, Leonardo Doronio was in the best physical shape that he has been in for a very long time.

And he performed very well, while it lasted, and we look forward to seeing Doronio back again this year to see what he can produce.

But for Mark John Yap, it really was a patient yet lethal execution of a necessary task, and certainly showed shades of the brutality that he inflicted on Japan's best fighters prior to the pandemic.

Watch the full fight here, and you will see this dog has got a bite worse than his bark.

Yap Yap !

DID HE FORGET ABOUT CHARLY SUAREZ  ???
February 7, 2023

DID HE FORGET ABOUT CHARLY SUAREZ ???

Paul Fleming has questioned the experience of Liam Wilson's team after the younger man's controversial world-title loss, saying he would never have let the weigh-in go ahead.

And the ageing super featherweight says he will not be a "rebound fight" after being called out following Wilson's gut-wrenching defeat in Phoenix.

Wilson has appealed against the decision in his loss to Emanuel Navarrete, keeping alive slim hopes of a rematch after footage showed a 27-second allowance - almost triple the traditional count - when the Australian floored the red-hot favourite in the fourth round.

The rank outsider, in his US debut, also weighed in about 2kg lighter than expected in a bizarre lead-in drama that had Wilson's camp threatening to boycott the WBO title fight after claims of cheating.

Wilson was eventually stopped in the ninth round on Friday by a resurgent Navarrete, who became a three-division champion and improved to a perfect 11 wins in world-title fights to set up a lucrative blockbuster with fellow Mexican Oscar Valdez.

"I would have said, 'No way, these scales aren't right' and stopped it then and there and requested another set of scales," Fleming told AAP of the weigh-in drama in which Navarrete came in narrowly under the 59kg limit.

"I guess that's just inexperience."

Keen to capitalise on a profile boost after scaring the likely future hall-of-famer, Wilson has called out Fleming for an all-Australian blockbuster.

But Fleming (28 wins, one no result) fights at the same weight, is world ranked by rival bodies the WBA and IBF and is quickly rebuilding his following in a late-blooming career.

If the 34-year-old beats impressive Filipino Charly Suarez (18-0) on March 16 in Sydney he will move closer to an overdue title shot - but potentially further from a duel with WBO favourite Wilson.

He just got his shot at the world title," Beijing Olympian Fleming said.

"I'm nearly 35 and still haven't had mine, so it's the Suarez fight first and then I'm not going to fight Liam for his ego or a rebound.

"I only want fights that'll move me closer to a world title.

"If it is one of those, then 150 per cent let's do it; we've been calling for it and it's a bit funny now it suits him he's calling it out."

If the pair continue to diverge it could mean they only fight to unify different world-title belts.

"Liam's very dangerous very early, but from what I've seen he loses his way (in the later rounds)," Fleming said.

"He's got a good left hook, but that one shot ain't going to work fighting me.

"I'm more elusive; you've got to have more in your repertoire."

LIAM WILSON CALLS OUT PAUL FLEMING
February 6, 2023

LIAM WILSON CALLS OUT PAUL FLEMING

The team of Liam Wilson have turned their attentions to Australian indigenous star Paul Fleming, and possibly to Teofimo Lopez conqueror George Kambosos, if they are not granted a rematch after Saturday's controversial title fight in the US.

The No Limit team have lodged a complaint regarding the delay (up to 28 seconds) afforded to Emmanuel Navarrete after Wilson dropped him in the 4th round of their fight.

Paul Fleming has an outstanding record of 28 and 0, and many regard the man dubbed "Showtime" as the most naturally talented Aussie fighter in recent  years. He is also ranked in the top 15 with the IBF, WBA and WBC, and will force his way into the top 10 assuming he is successful in his next bout on March 16th.

Paul Fleming meets Philippines star Charly Suarez in Sydney, and it appears the teams of Wilson and Fleming are both totally overlooking the unbeaten pinoy.

The word is strong in Australia that the Fleming team are extremely confident of delivering the King's Warrior his first loss, and are predicting it to come in spectacular fashion. They feel a knockout win is required to stamp his claims to being Australia's best in the weight class.

Alternatively, a win by Suarez elevates the Philippines man to  #3 with the IBF, and a possible mouth watering clash with Liam Wilson.

Baby Kong will return to the ring for VSP PRO this month, and as usual, he is immodest about his prospects.

"Please get me the address of my opponent's parents, I will send an apology note and flowers.

Sorry for the ass kickin' It was just all business. Signed Baby Kong!"

THAI HOANG HUY BACK FOR VSP PRO
February 5, 2023

THAI HOANG HUY BACK FOR VSP PRO

When talking about the fabled Vietnamese Tiger fighting spirit, they surely must have based the narrative around Thai Hoang Huy !

This former HCMC Muay Thai champion fell in love with boxing only in recent times, and made his debut in an exhibition bout against an absolute killer named JonJon Estrada - a man who has created absolute carnage in just about every fight he contests.

Estrada had previously scored 15 wins as a professional and owns THE BEST knockout stats in the featherweight division - 14 of his victims have been put to sleep !

And Thai Hoang Huy had NEVER even competed in a boxing match !

Huy did a great job, and after surviving a round one knockdown, traded leather with Estrada until the referee stopped the match in round 3.

It was great learning for the fighter with the ring name of Nak Su, which naturally enough, means WARRIOR.

Saturday February 25, Nak Su is back, and will make his professional debut at VSP PRO.

Huy will contest a 4 round bout in the featherweight class of 57kg.

It is certainly been a crazy ride for the former muay thai fighter who hadn't tried boxing untll  3 months ago !

The local boxer is a well performed amateur, who even got to face Carlo Paalam in the 3 round format. But he has a significant task tomorrow against the boy from Puerto Princesa.

Erson "the Trigger" Trinidad has already notched up 5 wins and 3 knockouts, and his aim will be to show the Japanese crowd a bit of that famous Palawan island spice tomorrow.

WILSON V NAVARRETE WBO BELT TOMORROW

Lots of interest in this one. Outstanding featherweight Emmanuel Navarrete moves up a weight class in an effort to take the vacant WBO super featherweight title.

Former world champ Oscar Valdez was the original opponent slated for Navarrete, but was subsequently replaced by Australian Liam Wilson.

Wilson is well known to Philippines fans as the man dropped by Joe Noynay, subsequently reversing that outcome in a rematch.

Wilson is a big 130lb fighter and always in great shape,  so it will be interesting to see if Navarrete is as effective in the new weight class against a larger and heavy handed opponent.

PUT THESE TWO ON YOUR "WATCH" LIST

Two of the best young emerging talents in the Philippines come out of Quibors Boxing Gym in Manila.

Weljon Mindoro and Jerald Into are still in the learning phase of their boxing careers, but have performed amazingly well so far, and have both managed to maintain unbeaten records.

Unlike many of their industry colleagues, Mindoro and Into are blessed with height and wing span, and this will be a huge asset once they progress to international bouts. Jerald Into has already had a taste, putting on a great performance to outpoint top Vietnam visitor Nguyễn Văn Hải at home in Manila in August 2022.

The two young fighters attracted some interested onlookers today, and were watched on by top trainer and fighter combination Delfin Boholst and Charly Suarez.\

THE WARRIORS
January 31, 2023

THE WARRIORS

Leonardo Doronio and Mark John Yap were the two most experienced boxers to grace the ring at REVOLUTION yesterday.

Both boxers looked in great shape, and it was very definitely the best version of Doronio we have seen in recent fights.

He pumped out skillful jabs that forced Yap to change position in the early rounds, and looked very comfortable in defense. Doronio also looked more dynamic than he has in a long while, and always looked dangerous. Based on yesterday's performance, Leonardo Doronio has a lot more wins in store.

Mark John Yap, superlatives often fall short, but his skills and killer were again to the fore.

Watch carefully how he set up that hook.

Bravo to Yap - bring on 2023 !

Novice boxers and with plenty of upside suitably describe Marklin Itim and Clarence Breboneria, who are perfectly matched at tomorrow's REVOLUTION event.

Both fighters have two wins in the professional ranks, and both have aspirations to have big careers in the sport of boxing.

Marklin Itim clearly has the edge in experience, having competed really well in matches with top opponents like Lorenz Ladrada and Remon Basas.

Clarence Breboneria looked a little conservative in his first three fights, but definitely looked more relaxed in his impressive December stoppage win over Mike Siena. He is also well mentored by the team at Elorde.

This is a 6 round Super Bantamweight clash, and despite the likelihood of being a non stop action affair, expect this one to go to the judges.

This will be one of the most competitive fights of the day.

YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE TAG ON KNOWLEDGE

With near 100 professional fights between them, Leonardo Doronio and Mark John Yap qualify as the two most experienced performers at tomorrow's REVOLUTION event in Parañaque.

"Toto" Doronio has chalked up 18 wins, and was formerly a main sparring partner to boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. He was an impressive winner against Jimmy Borbon, before showing all his ring guile in dealing with a very offensive Arnel Baconaje.

Mark John Yap's deeds in Japan prior to the pandemic are legendary. It's accurate to say that he shredded some of that country's very best fighters in perhaps their strongest weight class.

His return to the Philippines with excellent showings against Charly Suarez and Junior Kauko Raka were ominous signs that foreshadow a big 2O23.

These boys are quality, and the 135 works in favour of Doronio. Don’t miss this tomorrow.

Jerald Into and Weljon Mindoro are both  improving boxers on a steep learning curve, but have been outstanding in their ring performances so far. They also show all the attributes of excellent fundamentals provided by the hard working coaches at Quibors Boxing Gym.

Into is a tall southpaw lightweight, who is unbeaten in 7 fights. His most recent performance was a really impressive showing, stopping the experienced Monico Laurente in the 4th round.

Middleweight Weljon Mindoro has been nothing short of outstanding in his short career, also unbeaten, and scoring 10 knockouts in his 10 wins thus far. The youngster also has experience sparring with Olympic medallist Eumir Marcial, and it is pretty clear that "Triggerman" is running out of opposition at home.

It is hoped that both these top prospects will get an opportunity to show their wares in Vietnam in 2O23.

Charly Suarez will begin training soon as he has an important assignment in Australia on March 17th. The King's Warrior takes on Australia's best Paul Fleming, who with a record of 28 and 0, is no easy task !

Then again, beating Charly Suarez is no simple feat either !!

MAGLINTE TO SHOW HE IS MORE THAN PRETTY

MAGLINTE TO SHOW HE IS MORE THAN PRETTY

Anton Maglinte stars in one of the early bouts at Monday's REVOLUTION event in Parañaque.

The Manila based southpaw takes on debutant Raizen Jay Dela Fuente, a fighter with lots of amateur experience.

Maglinte comes into the contest with two fights under his belt, and despite those being defeats, it's notable that he did some good things against promising boxers Noriel De Chavez and Carlo Diaz.

Both of these bouts were highly competitive, and it will be interesting to see what improvements that "Pretty Boy" Maglinte can bring to his stoush with Dela Fuente.

JONG JONG FACES HIS WORST NIGHTMARE

JONG JONG FACES HIS WORST NIGHTMARE

This has all the makings of a spectacular main event.

Ronnie "Jong Jong" Baldonado has been training like a demon in Manila, and is promising a torrid welcome for visiting Mindanao boxer - Sanman's Ben Mananquil.

Mananquil, who is reverently known as "The Nightmare" has looked great in two outings since the pandemic, with a 4th round stoppage win over Crison Omayao, before losing to unbeaten South African star Phumelele Cafu, who was rated #11 in the world. The Nightmare did some good work early in that match, but it's fair to say that he was stylistically unsuited to his fellow southpaw opponent, and he is likely to have the ideal dance partner in Baldonado.

But this kid Baldonado is excitement plus, a skilled boxer that really knows how to turn up the heat on opponents.

Jong Jong has got great hands, lots of firepower, and you just know he has a real talent for putting butts on the canvas.

Just think back to his clash with hot prospect Carl Jammes Martin, who had lots of issues with this firebrand, and met the floor in the early stages of their battle.

Ronnie Baldonado is back to his proper weight class for this main event clash, and if his blazing fists get their way, the Nightmare maybe heading the way of his heralded rival Ben Mananquil.

BUT WHAT IF LOOKS COULD KILL ?

Jonjon Estrada does fight week better than most.

He also does remorseless acts of violence pretty damn well too.

14 Knockouts in his 15 wins sends a frightening message as to how he likes to get the job done.

Blunt force trauma and maniacal bludgeoning !

This is the life of the Wolverine.

SUAREZ FACES TOUGH AUSSIE OPPONENT

SUAREZ FACES TOUGH AUSSIE OPPONENT

*story courtesy Manila Standard

Former Olympian and still unbeaten pro boxer Charly Suarez faces a fellow undefeated opponent in Paul Fleming of Australia in what could be the toughest stumbling block to his world title dream.

The showdown between the two undefeated fighters will be held in Australia on March 17, with multiple super featherweight 130lb titles on the line, including the International Boxing Federation Intercontinental, World Boxing Association Oceania, World Boxing Council Asian Boxing Council and the International Boxing Organization Intercontinental belts.

“This will be the biggest fight in Australia this year,” said Robert Hill, Suarez’s promoter.

“Paul Fleming is Showtime, and he is facing the best boxer I have seen from the Philippines — point blank,” he added.

Suarez, who has 18 wins with 8 knockouts, is still fresh from his conquest of the International Boxing Federation Asia junior lightweight with a technical knockout win over Defry Palulu of Indonesia at the Grand Ho Tram Hotel in Vietnam last Dec. 10.

Two months earlier, the many-time Southeast Asian Games champion decisioned compatriot Carlo Magali to successfully defend the World Boxing Association Asia Super Featherweight title.

“Paghahandaan namin ito ng maayos. Magandang opportunity ‘pag nakuha namin ito” said Suarez’s coach and manager, Delfin Boholst.

Hill said Suarez was earlier being pitted against Japan’s top-rated Super Featherweight Yoshimutsu Kimura for the IBF Asia title, but the Japanese was knocked out in a non-title bout last week in Tokyo, hence, the focus was moved to Fleming.

Suarez’s exploits in the ring was also recognized by the Philippine Army, which promoted him to Private First Class for his achievements last year, including being named Boxer of the Month by the WBA Asia.

No less than Army Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., pinned the new rank on Suarez in a ceremony held at the Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City on Jan. 13.

As an amateur, Suarez won three golds — two in lightweight (2011 Jakarta, 2019 Manila) and one in the featherweight (2009 Laos) — and one bronze (2017 Kuala Lumpur) at the Southeast Asian Games. He also competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he dropped a split decision to the unbeaten IBF world champion Joe Cordina.

Paul Fleming of Australia is also a man of many accomplishments. The indigenous star is a former esteemed amateur and Olympian, and is undefeated in 28 professional fights.

PABLITO CANADA SAYS "ANYTIME, ANYWHERE !"

Manila's Pablito Canada had a career record that included a run of  losses, but all against the big dogs, and they were bouts where he was responsible for some great performances.

So when he faced JonJon Estrada, he knew he was facing a dangerous yet flawed fighter, and it was a match that he was super confident of winning.

Estrada v Canada was a slugfest, and in spite of Pablito reversing his fortunes and putting the Wolverine in trouble, he ultimately fell for the trap of going toe to toe with a knockout artist.

Canada was quick to make amends, travelling to the backyard of hot Mindanao prospect Michael Casama, and stopping the unbeaten boxer in the 8th round.

Pablito Canada now turns his eyes to the Wolverine, and feels he has unfinished business with the man with two fists of iron.

This will be a mega fight.

Both boxers are predicting an early night for their opponent.

WOLVERINE: "WE WON'T NEED THE JUDGES"

JonJon Estrada meets Pablito Canada for the second time at UKC REVOLUTION 2O23 next Monday.

Their first fight was one of the most exciting of the year, with Canada dropped multiple times, and Estrada significantly wobbled. To make things even more interesting, Pablito Canada has rebounded since with an outstanding knockout win over the previously unbeaten Michael Casama. Canada has chased Estrada to avenge their initial meeting, and is confident of reversing the result.

The Wolverine has achieved cult like status because of his stalking predatory style, and his remorseless bludgeoning of opponents. His record of 14 knockouts in 15 wins bellows a cautionary tale.

So JonJon, any words to your opponent before your upcoming match ?

"Yes. Wear a crash helmet !"

Nice advice Mr. Estrada.

CHAMP SUAREZ DROPS IN TO SEE THE BOSS

CHAMP SUAREZ DROPS IN TO SEE THE BOSS

Nation’s pride in professional boxing, the unbeaten (14-0-0) Charly “King’s Warrior” Suarez paid a courtesy call on GAB Chairman Atty. Richard S. Clarin at Games and Amusements Board (GAB) Office in Makati City.

The PH Army boxer Suarez won his fight against Indonesian Defry Palulu last December 10, 2022 in Vietnam for the vacant IBF Asia Super Featherweight Title by a Technical Knock-Out in the 2nd Round of a 12-Round bout.

Suarez (IBF no. 8 ) is slated to fight against a tough opponent Australian champion Paul Fleming (IBF no. 13) who has a record of 28-0-1. The clash of both undefeated boxers will be held in Australia on March 17, 2023.

Chairman Clarin personally praised the multi-awarded Suarez for his unblemished record. Knowing that every boxer who fights abroad has individual specific issues, Chairman Clarin pointed out that, among other assistance, GAB, through the GAB Legal Division headed by Atty. Ermar Benitez, is more than willing to provide legal support especially with contract negotiations.

Suarez openly shared his experiences in professional boxing and very much appreciate the dedication of GAB in coming up with fair contract agreement for fights abroad, simplification of  document processing, protection of boxers by fair matchmaking, and provision for other benefits to professional boxers.

Chairman Clarin concluded the meeting with words of encouragement to the boxing champ with assurance of full support to all Filipino boxers here and abroad.

SUAREZ TO TAKE ON AUSSIE STAR MARCH 17

SUAREZ TO TAKE ON AUSSIE STAR MARCH 17

This just got made !!!!!!

Yes, it's official  - Philippines best Charly Suarez will take on Australia's best Paul Fleming in a showdown for the IBF intercontinental, WBA Oceania and WBC Asia titles. The iconic bout will take place in Sydney on March 17th.

A win for either fighter will likely catapult them into    a world title mandatory position. Both fighters are unbeaten, both are former Olympians, and both are blessed with supernatural hand and foot speed. Indigenous prodigy Paul Fleming was responsible for the "Fight of the Year" in Australia in 2022, and the man known as Showtime is peerless when it comes to non stop action.

To counter the claims of the Aussie, Charly Suarez has been on an ominous run of 10 wins in the last two years, all against quality opponents. Tellingly, he has barely broken a sweat in his rankings surge, and lost few, if any, rounds.

This is a HUGE FIGHT for both Australia and the Philippines, and a dominant performance by Suarez will certainly put the world on notice.
