Dicky Amtiran, the Indonesian fightrer who replaced the original opponent of Dodie Boy Penalosa Jr in Saturday?s fight card at the Mandaluyong City Gym is tougher that Yon Ahmed who pulled out due to illness.
An Indonesian boxing internet site listed Amtiran as winner of the Indonesian Professional Boxing Association super flyweight champion against Willem Marahina on September 18, 2011.
Amtiran has a record of 8 knockouts in 9 wins with three losses and is reported a hard puncher as shown by his record.
Promoter and former two division world champion Gerry Penalosa told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports that he was informed that Amtiran was the only available replacement for Armed and that he would give Dodie Boy Jr a good fight.
In fact Penalosa said that based on Amtiran?s record and reports from Indonesia, the replacement could give Dodie Boy Jr a hard time.
Dodie Boy Penalosa has a record of 12-0 with 11 knockouts while younger brother Dave who has a record of 8-0 with 5 knockouts will face tough Danilo Gabisay who has been training in Baguio City in preparation for his fight on Saturday.
