ROBERT “Ingo” Paradero of Bukidnon got his rematch against Albert Francisco of Zamboanga City on February 21 and will fight for the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation flyweight title at the Mayor Vitaliano Agan Coliseum in Zamboanga City.
In their first encounter, the 29-year-old Paradero [19-12-2, 13KOs] lost to Francisco [14-1-1, 10KOs] by a 4th round technical knockout last February 12 at Vigan City.
Paradero wants to get revenge on Francisco with the help of new trainer Biboy Villanueva.
But Paradero pays the gym.
“I can handle his record and I'll go back to my career,” said Paradero.
Amateurs in the gym help Paradero in sparring.
“This is for my family, I will not lose hope,” said Paradero.
In his last fight, Paradero lost by a unanimous decision to Richard Laspona of Manolo last September 29 in Tagbilaran City.
Francisco, on the other hand, recently settled a majority draw with Ramel Macvado Jr. for the vacant WBC International flyweight title last October 12 in Quezon City.
Francisco also won the reigning Philippine flyweight title by stopping Angilou Dalogdog of Tagbilaran in the 10th round last July 27 in Mandaluyong City.
Pro and international amateur boxer Eumir Felix Marcial is the promoter while Miller Alapormina is the matchmaker.
