Bangon Cordillera: Martin Defends WBA Asia Belt Against Korean Striker Oct 27 in Ifugao


PhilBoxing.com




Martin ready to Rumble. World-ranked Filipino Carl Jammes Martin (10-0, 9 KO's) is set to make the first defense of his WBA Asia Bantamweight Belt against hard-hitting Korean challenger Moon Chul Suh of Iksan City at LCS Gym in Lagawe, Ifugao Province, a battle too important for the promising, hard-hitting Ilocano "Wonder Boy."

Martin, 19, the pride of the Ifugao Boxing Stable, climbs back to the square ring after stopping in six chapters Chinese Huerban Qiatehe last August, a win that made him the new WBO Oriental Youth champion.

Now, the unbeaten Ifugao striker wants more scalping and Moon Chul Suh is the next target on sight.

But Moon Chul Suh - a former WBF Asia-Pacific 122-pound champion, who has knocked out his last three opponents - has plans of his own. Moon is coming to the Philippines like a hungry tiger hunting for a prey.

Indeed, the tough Korean not only wants to victimize Carl Martin and damage unbeaten record. He also wants to grab away Martin's precious shinning WBA Asia Champion belt, and rob of his WBO world-ranking.

Yes, Martin is putting a lot on the line of fire.

"I CAN SEE THE FIGHTING SPIRIT IN HIS EYES"

Will "The Wonder Boy" Carl Martin scalp Moon Chul Suh for a successful WBA Asia title defense to press forward his boxing career while climbing-up in the world-rankings..??

Or will the hard-puncher Korean outclass Martin, taking everything from him..??

For Abel Martin, father and coach of Carl James Martin at Ifugao Boxing Stable, the rumble against Moon is a tough one:

"I know this fight against the Korean boxer will not be easy," shares Abel Martin.

"That is why Carl has been doing hard training. Because this match from Korea is a dangerous knock out artist.

"Carl has been training at our Ifugao Boxing Stable. During the past weeks, he has focused on power punch and speed.

"In addition to that, Carl has kept on learning new boxing techniques at our gym.

"Above all, there is something really good about Carl, which is that he is fully dedicated to his profession as a boxer, and he always adds extra in training.

"Carl always insists on extra time at the gym.

"I can see the fighting spirit in his eyes."
