FIVE boxers from the MP Davao Gym are all seeing action in one boxing promotion co-promoted by Manny Pacquiao of MP Promotions and Wen Xin Zhou of Ding Xin Sports on September 29 in Beijing, China.
They are interim WBO Oriental flyweight champion Ronnie Baldonado, WBO Asia Pacific welterweight champion Jayar ?Hitman? Inson, MinProBA flyweight champion Genesis ?Cobra? Libranza, light flyweight Rene Mark Cuarto and unbeaten MinProBA bantamweight king Vincent Astrolabio.
They will be accompanied by chief trainer Nonoy Neri, manager Vanessa Neri and trainer Samson Amonggo. They are flying to China from Manila on Sept. 27.
Baldonado (9W-0L-1D, 6 KOs) is defending his crown against former IBF Youth flyweight champion Iwan ?Sniper? Zoda (14W-2L-1D, 13 KOs) of Indonesia for 10 rounds in the main event.
?OK ang condition ug preparasyon ni Jong-Jong sa iyang depensa,? (The condition and preparation of Jong-Jong for his defense is OK) said Nonoy Neri, also one of the Filipino assistant trainers of 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Baldonado, a native of Carmen, North Cotabato captured the interim WBO Oriental flyweight crown by stopping Yiming Ma by a first round technical knockout last April 27 at the National Olympic Sports Center Gym in Beijing.
Zoda, on the other hand, lost his IBF Youth flyweight crown by a 7th round TKO to Filipino challenger Robert Onggocan last January 28 in Ngabang, Indonesia.
Zoda, however, bounced back by stopping Sonatu Waleruu via a 2nd round TKO in his previous fight held August 20 in Jakarta.
?Dili puede kumpiyansahan ang kalaban kay dating IBF Youth champion ug knockout artist sad,? (We can?t take the opponent lightly because he is a former IBF Youth champion and a knockout artist also) said Neri.
The four other MP Davao boxers are all fighting for 8 rounds in the undercard.
Inson (13W-1L-0D, 9 KOs) faces Yangcheng Jin (5W-1L-2D, 1 KO) while Libranza (12W-1L-0D, 9 KOs) takes on Yujie Zeng (6W-6L-1D).
Cuarto (12W-1L-1D, 7 KOs) collides with Guangxiong Li (4W-2L-1D) while Astrolabio (9W-0L, 7 KOs) fights Ayati Sailike (3W-4L-2D, 1 KO).
