Parrenas.
WBO Oriental super flyweight champion Warlito ?Cowboy? Parrenas who is ranked No.1 in the world rankings, is training hard for his Interim title fight against No. 2 ranked Mexican David Carmona in Mexico City on June 20.
In an overseas telephone conversation with the New Standard/boxing mirror.com just before be was to begin another sparring session with former Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation super flyweight champion, 30 year old Takuya Kogawa who won the title with a 6th round technical decision over Filipino Danilo ?Pit Bull? Pena on October 28, 2010 and currently sports a record of 23-4 with 13 knockouts.
Kogawa won his last fight, an eight round unanimous decision over Hiroyuki Histaka last October 10. Hisataka fought for thr world title twice but lost. He also has a ten round unanimous decision over former world champion Sonny Boy Jaro on April 7, 2013.
Parrenas told us Kogawa was "very fast and throws a lot of punches which is good for me to develop my stamina."
British trainer Warren Evison who works alongside Filipino trainer Sammy Bernabe s aid Parrenas has no weight problems and "is doing great and is very fast" in his daily training regimen at the United International Promotions boxing gym in Tokyo as well in his running on the local track oval three times a week.
Parrenas indicated his mindset was that of a fighter "always ready to win. This is what I know."
The team leaves for Mexico on June 20 and the training team is concentrating on developing his power and stamina which is regarded as crucial because of the comparatively high altitude in Mexico.
Evison said Parrenas is also ?going through vigorous training with altitude masks and does some hard work on the punch mitts.? He said they are ?concentrating on applying pressure on his opponent.?
Evison believes Parrenas ?is at the pinnacle of his training and needs this win more than anything. To say he is motivated is an understatement.?
He said Team Parrenas realizes that Carmona ?has speed and technique which is why we are sparring Parrenas against top Japanese opponents who are aggressive fighters and fast. Perfect for his training against Carmona.?
Evison didn?t underestimate Carmona saying ?the Mexican is a good fighter. He isn?t the WBO No. 2 for nothing . We know what we are up against in addition to fighting in hostile turf. But Warlito is the current no.1 and its time for him to prove it.?
