Here's our list of wishes for Phililpine boxing in the Year 2017:
Manny Pacquiao will win in his last two career fights and finally hang up his gloves to concentrate on public service. Pacquiao's last two fights will be PPV hits. A rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. with a good shoulder is preferred.
Nonito Donaire will face WBO featherweight champion Oscar Valdez of Mexico and become world champion again.
Donnie Nietes will challenge WBO flyweight champion Zou Shiming of China and will win his third division world title.
John Riel Casimero will challege pound-for-pound king Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez of Nicaragua and will win against all odds.
Jerwin Ancajas will win against Mexican Jose Alfredo Rodriguez in his first defense of his IBF super flyweight title on January 29.
Marlon Tapales will successfully defend his WBO bantamweight crown against Takuma Inoue or any challenger.
Milan Melindo will unify the belt with the winner of the regular IBF light flyweight title fight between current champion Akira Yaegashi and challenger Samartlek Kokietgym.
Jason Pagara will fight for the WBO junior welterweight title as soon as Terence Crawford vacates it and here's wishing he will win the crown.
Albert Pagara will win again in his next fight and come back at the top ten this time at the featherweight division.
Amateur boxing will recover after a dismal performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics and will go on a golden harvest especially in the 2017 SEA Games this year.
