UNDISPUTED Philippine junior welterweight king Adones Cabalquinto and top super flyweight contender Aston Palicte both vowed to knockout their separate rivals in the "Tibay ng Pinoy V" boxing card on Saturday at the Almendras gym.
Cabalquinto, a native of Talaingod, Davao del Norte wants to stop Pankorn Singwangcha of Thailand in their 12-round title-fight for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council light welterweight crown.
"Ako sa tan-awon iya style sa 1st or 2nd round ug kung kaya, ako siya kuhaon sa 7th round," said Cabalquinto (17 wins with 10 KOs, 0 loss or draw).
"Pankorn is a dangerous opponent. He won his first three fights all by knockout," said promoter Joven Jimenez.
Cabalquinto, however, is fresh from a first round stoppage over Elmer Legaria last August 23 at the Almendras gym during his third title-defense.
Cabalquinto won the PH crown by unanimous decision against Dan Nazareno Jr. last March 17, 2013 in Cebu. He retained it via a unanimous decision against Romeo Jakosalem last Dec. 12, 2012 in Zambales then against RJ Ano-os also by UD on Oct. 20, 2013.
Palicte, on the other hand, said he is going for a 5th round stoppage against his new but dangerous opponent Jerpaul Valero of Cebu for the interim Philippine super flyweight title.
"Grabe akong training for Marco. Halos pareho lang ang ilahang style. Pero mas magaling at marunong lumabas at pasok itong si Valero," Palicte said.
"Mag adjust sa ko bago nako siya kuhaon sa ika-limang round," Palicte said.
Valero is a substitute for his fellow stablemate Marco Demecillo, who was stripped already of title after missing his arrival from Japan.
"Hindi na nagpakita si Demecillo sa kanyang manager na si Wakee Salud pagkarating nya sa sparring at training sa Japan last week," said promoter Joven Jimenez.
Demecillo could no longer be contacted by his manager.
"Pero mas maganda pa rin ang laban na Palicte at Valero dahil sa tingin ko mas fighter itong si Valero. Mas exciting ito," said Jimenez.
The 23-year old Palicte previously scored a first round TKO win over Frans Damur Palve in his last outing held at Almendras gym last Aug. 23.
The 5-foot-7 Palicte thrice knocked down Palve in the first round. It was Palicte's fourth straight win all by knockouts since he suffered his only ring setback from the hands of Romnick Magos via a 4th round RTD for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific youth flyweight title last Dec. 1, 2012.
Since training at the MP Davao Boxing gym, Palicte bounced back by stopping Lowell Saguisa (3rd round), Michael Bastasa (1st round) and Robel Villegas (1st round).
Jiminez said the boxing promotion is again free to the public.
"Ito ang gusto ni Boss Manny Pacquiao na laging free to the public ang boxing namin," said Jiminez.
It is sponsored by Mitsubishi, Pepsi and The Royal Mandaya Hotel, Cerritos and the city government of Davao. - LITO DELOS REYES
