TAPALES FACES INDONESIA?S SUSANTO ON MP PROMOTIONS CARD IN DAVAO CITY TODAY By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 08 Feb 2014  Promising Marlon Tapales, the No. 3 ranked Philippine bantamweight, faces Indonesia?s Galih Susanto in the main event of a fight put together by MP Promotions and Joven Promotions in cooperation with the Royal Mandaya Hotel at the Almedras Gym today. The 21 year old Tapales has a record of 23-2 with 9 knockouts while MP Promotions reported that in the ten round bout at 119 pounds, Susanto will enter the ring with a record of 16-4-1 with 9 knockouts. However, boxrec.com, which is not always accurate, has the Indonesian?s fight record at 6-3-1 with 1 knockout. The southpaw Tapales won the WBO Asia Pacific bantamweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Fredirex Rodriguez on August 1, 2013. He is best remembered for a terrific showing against Mexico?s hard-hitting David Sanchez in a battle for the Interim WBC Silver super flyweight title which Tapales lost in a hugely controversial majority decision. Sanchez in his last fight scored a 4th round knockout over rugged Marco Demecillo in a battle for the WBA International super flyweight title in Mexico on January 18, 2014. ?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao is the promoter of today?s card while his adviser Michael Koncz is a director of MP Promotions USA and Joe Ramos, MP Promotions representative.
