In an exciting upcoming fight, our Filipino bantamweight boxer Herlan Gomez will battle Australian veteran Jason Moloney on December 6 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Queensland, Australia.
It’s a crucial war for both men.
For Moloney, after his two consecutive defeats, he desperately needs a win to revive his career. Diba?
His latest defeats by points to Nasukawa and Takei in Japan have led some fans to question whether the 34-year-old is still the fighter he once was.
Plus, Moloney’s brutal KO loss to Naoya Inoue years ago still lingers in the minds of fans, raising doubts about Moloney's elite status in the bantamweight division.
On the other corner, we have our younger brother Herlan Gomez, the 26-year-old Filipino brave warrior from Saravia, Negros Occidental.
The promising Herlan has been on a mission to make a name for himself in the boxing world, backed by his committed promoter Brico Santig, his dedicated coach Allanjohn Alegria, and his cheerful and supportive Highland teammates.
The Fight
Jason Moloney, known as "Mayhem," is determined to prove himself against Gomez.
The veteran Aussie boxer, a former WBO bantamweight champion, will look to use his experience and powerful punches to outmaneuver our Pinoy fighter.
