PINOY PUGS CONTINUE TO SIZZLE AS GORRES-MONTIEL SHOWDOWN DRAWS NEAR

26 January, 2007 by Reylan Loberternos


“BAZOOKA” TOO MUCH FOR JANDAENG!

Tagbilaran City, RP – Teenage boxing sensation Alex John “Bazooka” Banal (11-0-1, 9 KOs) once again clobbered yet another highly-touted foreign foe with an emphatic 9th round technical knockout victory over Terdkiat Jandaeng of Thailand last Saturday night here. Inside the jam-packed Mandaue City Sports Complex, Banal’s fearless, unyielding aggression proved too much for Jandaeng, as the unbeaten Filipino boxer-puncher bombarded the iron-chinned Thai with a barrage of unanswered blows to the head and body. This prompted referee Tony Pesons to stop the fight two minutes and fifty-eight seconds into the ninth of the scheduled ten-round contest.

MELINDO IMPROVES UNBLEMISHED SLATE

The blockbuster local boxing showdown dubbed as “Stars of the Future” also featured Milan “Milenyo” Milendo (9-0-0, 2 KOs) in the main supporting bout. Melindo, whose monicker is based on the catastrophic typhoon that hit the Philippines last year, utilized his vast boxing artillery to outpunch and outscore the very tough Fabio Marfa en route to a unanimous decision victory with scores of 100-90, 96-94, and 97-93 in ten eventful rounds. Milan’s stinging jab that virtually emulated a piston in terms of frequency and speed, coupled with his vaunted left hook and uppercuts, befuddled Marfa all night long as he absorbed another loss in his forty-one professional fights.

ROACH TO TRAIN AJ AT WILD CARD!

Banal, finally becoming eligible to strut his stuff in the United States when he turned eighteen last December 28, hopes to join his fellow ALA Boys Rey “Boom-boom” Bautista (21-0-0, 16 KOs) and Z “The Dream” Gorres (26-1-1, 14 KOs) at Wild Card gym in Los Angeles, California to train under the prying eyes of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s celebrated trainer Freddie Roach. This is in preparation for his WBO Asia Pacific Youth super flyweight championship bout against a still-to-be-determined opponent on February 24, underneath the Gorres – Montiel WBO titular showdown in Cebu City. ALA Boxing Stable’s chief trainer Edito “Ala” Villamor, who now accompanies and facilitates the training of Bautista and Gorres at Wild Card gym, is proud of what his prized students (Banal and Melindo) have achieved even in his absence.

WBO OFFICIALS FOR GORRES-MONTIEL NAMED

Barely a month to go before the highly-anticipated super flyweight showdown between Z “The Dream” Gorres of the Philippines and Mexico’s reigning and defending WBO champion Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel (32-2-1, 24 KOs), the World Boxing Organization has finally announced the appointment of the official referee and the three judges, as disclosed by topnotch boxing promoter Sammy Gello-ani of SGG Promotions, referring to an official communication from WBO President Francisco Valcarcel. It may be remembered that Gello-ani’s SGG Promotions won the purse bidding for the Gorres-Montiel mandatory bout held last November 27, 2006 at the WBO Headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico, besting Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, thereby earning the promotional right to stage the event. Samuel Viruet of Mahopac, New York, more than 21 years as a referee and has officiated championship bouts that separately featured Naseem Hamed, Marco Antonio Barrera, Joan Guzman, serves as the third man in the ring. The judges will be Raul Caiz of Los Angeles, California, Chuck Giampa of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Denny Nelson of St. Paul, Minnesota.

OTHER PINOY PUGS MAKING WAVES!

A night after the “Stars of the Future” boxing card, SGG Promotion’s Bert Batawang (40-12-3, 33 KOs) used his dreaded right uppercut on Pingping Tepura’s jaw to score his 2nd consecutive 1st round KO victory, thereby keeping his hopes alive for a possible crack at Hugo Cazares’ WBO light flyweight diadem. In a separate boxing card held in Cotabato, a province located in the southernmost part of the Philippines, twenty-one-year-old bantamweight prospect Jundy “Pretty Boy” Maraon (9-0-1, 7 KOs) hardly broke any sweat in disposing off Saensak Singmanasak of Thailand for a knockout victory also in the very first round.

PINOY WBO REGIONAL CHAMPS

Two days before changing the annual calendar (December 30), twenty-four-year-old boxing phenoms Draian Francisco (10-0-0, 7 KOs) and Rexon Flores (17-3-4, 9 KOs) captured the WBO Asia Pacific flyweight and WBO Inter-Continental light flyweight titles, respectively against separate Thai foes. Francisco stopped erstwhile-unbeaten Pichitchok Singmanassak (9-1-0, 4 KOs), as referee Bruce McTavish halted the fight one minute and three seconds into the 7th round, while Flores eked out a unanimous decision victory over Wisan Sor Suchanya (8-3-1, 2 KOs) with identical scores of 118-109 on all of the judges’ scorecards.

AMONSOT AND MELLIGUEN TRY TO FOLLOW SUIT!

According to Philboxing.com’s Salven L. Lagumbay, arguably the Philippines’ most prolific boxing writer, former WBO Asia Pacific super featherweight champion Czar Amonsot (17-2-1, 10 KOs) and current professionally undefeated two-time South-East Asian games silver medallist Mark Jason Melliguen (6-0-0, 5 KOs) will get a crack at the WBO Asia Pacific titles against separate Korean foes in the lightweight and junior welterweight divisions, respectively on February 9 in Seoul, South Korea.
