The grandsons of the late, great world junior lightweight champion Gabriel ?Flash? Elorde have been matched against two unheralded Indonesians in the Rotary Club of Manila?s ?Boxing Kontra Droga? at Cafe Lupe along the Sumulong Highway in Antipolo on September 24.
WBO Oriental lightweight champion Juan Martin ?Bai? Elorde is featured in a ten-round bout at 136 pounds against Boido Simanjutak of Indonesia, a 32 year old southpaw with a record of 23 wins as against 40 losses and 2 draws with 9 knockouts.
The boxrec.com records show that Boido lost 17 of his last 18 fights , dropping his last two bouts by TKO. He suffered a 1st round TKO at the hands of James Mokogintain Jakarta and August 16 against Agus Kustiawan.
?Bai? Elorde has a record of 20-1-1 with 8 knockouts and should make short work of his Indonesian opponent.
WBO Asia Pacific junior featherweight champion Juan Miguel ?The Boss? Elorde faces Junior Bajawa who has a record of 14-9 with 7 knockouts with the Indonesian expected to give Elorde a harder fight although in the end he should prove to be no match for the 29 year old Elorde who has a record of 21-1 with 11 knockouts.
The best bout of the evening may well be the battle for the vacant Philippine bantamweight title between Glen ?Lover Boy? Suminguit who is 27 years old and has a record of 18-2 with 9 knockouts and Alvin Bais who is one year older and has a record of 15-6-1 with 4 knockouts.

Bais won by a 1st round TKO in a scheduled eight nround bout over Jomar Ministerio on November 14, 2015 following two successive setbacks to Ibrahim Balla to whom he lost by a 2nd round TKO in a scheduled six round bout on June 5, 2015 and a 3rd round TKO in a six round bout against Jason Moloney on March 6, 2015.
