MORALDE HEADLINES SANMAN?S OPENING SALVO FOR 2016


PhilBoxing.com



Moralde.

Featherweight prospect John Vincent Moralde (14W-0L,7KO?s) of the
Sanman Boxing Club will see action this February 13 at the Gaisano Mall Atrium, General Santos City in the main event of the fight card billed as ?Brawl at the Mall: Glory?.

The 21 year old Moralde, who sports the ring moniker ?Mulawin? will face Anthony ?Zorro? Sabalde (10W-4L,5KO?s) of Cebu City for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) International featherweight title.

?We are testing John Vincent Moralde to face a quality opponent like Sabalde,? Sanman Promotions Chief Executive Officer Jim Claude ?JC? Manangquil told philboxing, ?Sabalde is well-trained and is a talented southpaw and should not be taken lightly by Moralde?. Sabalde also trains in the Flores and Wakee Salud Boxing gyms.

?If Moralde wins, we are planning to set him up in the US together with Harmonito dela Torre, who is currently training now under a Cuban coach,? Manangquil said.

Sabalde started his career with 4 straight wins before bowing to the likes of Juan Purisima and Romnick Magos.

Sabalde?s most memorable performance here in Cebu was a ten round loss in a ring war against Jessie Cris Rosales for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific Youth featherweight crown held last May 3, 2014 at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino.

Last March 14, 2015, Moralde?s biggest career win turned tragic when his opponent in Australia, erstwhile undefeated Brayd Smith, collapsed soon after the bout due to intracranial bleeding, and passed away after a couple of days. This fight was for the WBC ABC Continental featherweight belt.

?I will work hard for this fight against Sabalde.? Moralde told philboxing, ?I usually don?t take my opponent lightly. But I know I will be victorious in this fight. I have confidence with my ability that I soon be a world champion.?

Four months after the ill-fated bout with Smith, Moralde returned to the ring to knockout Fil-American William George in the second round on July 11 at the Robinson?s Mall Atrium in Gensan. Moralde continued his winning form by unanimous decision against Jerry Castroverde of Cebu at the Gaisano Mall Atrium also in Gensan two months later.

Moralde recently arrived from Japan together with stablemate Romero ?Dynamite? Duno where they were both hired for three weeks as sparring partners of former WBC bantamweight world champion Hozumi Hasegawa.

Sabalde, on the other hand, previously stopped Phil Angcamor in the 4th round last February 28 at the Valencia City gym in Bukidnon.

Moralde and Sabalde are set to fight for ten rounds.

For the undercards, fans will get to see Romeo "Dyamite" Duno and bantamweight "Magic" Mike Plania also from Sanman Boxing Club.

Duno (8-0-0-7KOs) will be pitted against veteran Jason ?Siaton Boy? Egara (21-16,10 KOs) of Siaton, Negros Oriental for the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super featherweight title.

The 18-year old Plania (8-0-0-4 KOs), a former member of our national team in the Junior World Championship held in Ukraine will fight Bryan Samson of Wakee Salud Gym.

This boxing show is promoted by the SANMAN Promotions of General Santos City. They recently held a press conference announcing its inaugural offering for 2016. JC Manangquil said that they will have seven or eight shows on tap for this year. He also hopes to bring one show in Manila in the near future.
