 Llover (L) and Canete (R) at Friday's weighin.
Manny Pacquioao’s revered Blow-by-Blow returns Saturday as undefeated punchers Kenneth Llover square off with Benny Canete at the Barangay Mauway Executive Sports Complex in Mandaluyong City.
Llover (7-0 with 5 knockouts) fights out of the Penalosa Boxing Stable while Canete (7-0 with 6 knockouts) represents the Omega Boxing Stable of Cebu, a bantamweight pairing that is sure to give fight fans a treat.
Four main supporting bouts are also on tap with Lawrence Dumam-ag of El Tigre Boxing-Mandaluyong taking on Christian Gagarin of the Bebot Elorde Stable of Sucat, Paranaque in a six-round light-fly duel and Harry Omac of El Tigre Boxing-Mandaluyong facing Ramcie Mondala of the Bebot Elorde in another light-fly tussle.
The two other chief supporting bouts include those of Antonio Uy of the Marty Elorde Boxing Stable of Sucat, Paranaque against Mac Pescador of the Majestic Boxing Team of Makati in another light-fly encounter and Jimmy Ramisco Cannu of the JP Boxing Stable of Libis, Quezon City, colliding with Richie Cacanog of Tepora Boxing of Cebu in in a bantam clash.
Pacquiao himself re-launched Blow-by-Blow in November last year also in Mandaluyong with mayor Benjamin Abalos, a hardcore boxing fan, and the eight-division champion in attendance at the packed Mandaluyong City College.
“This is the continuation of our search for the next Filipino boxing star,” Pacquiao said.
“I revived Blow-by-Blow to give the young fighters a chance to get an opportunity to make it big just like me when I was trying to make my way up,” Pacquiao added.
Pacquiao fought in the Mandaluyong area during his early years as a professional and it was at the Mandaluyong Gym where the future Hall of Famer scored some of his most unforgettable knockout wins.
Pacquiao’s greatest hit in Mandaluyong was his devastating knockout of Chokchai Chokivivat of Thailand to claim the Orient-Pacific Boxing Federation flyweight crown in June 1996.
