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.

Bacolod's Genesis Servania will fight China's rising star Aketelieti Yelejian for the WBO Asia Lightweight title this November.
The highly-anticipated match up will take place on the undercard of the IBF world title fight between Pedro Taduran and Zhu DianXing at Jeju Island, South Korea.
Aketelieti Yelejian, who suffered a narrow loss to the Prince Albert Pagara in June, rebounded with an impressive IBF Asia victory against Korean Jin Su Kim in Vietnam recently. He is a very rangy and deceptive boxer known for his relaxed combinations, and he's supremely confident in his ability to take down Servania and claim the title.
"I've studied Servania's style, and I know I have the skills to outmaneuver him," Yelejian said yesterday.
"I'm excited to represent China on the international stage once more, and bring home an impressive win against a top and proven boxer like Genesis."
Servania, a seasoned veteran with a 35-4 record, boasts a reputation for toughness that has come from battles at the top level. And has still possesses some of the best body shots in the sport of boxing.
This important title shot gives the filipino the opportunity to re-establish himself on the world scene once more, and it's best remembered that his only defeats have came against world-ranked champions like Oscar Valdez and Andres Cortes.
But the China team have already confidently stated that Yelejian's youth, speed, height, and reach may all prove too much for the Filipino boxer.
Their optimism also exudes for the world title bout, where surprisingly, they are quite dismissive of Pedro Taduran's hopes of beating star Zhu DianXing. They actually rate their boxer so highly, they have predicted that the champion has no chance of retaining the belt.
These claims set up an intriguing backdrop for two massive Philippines v China feature bouts.
