Laurente, Elorde Topbill March 23 Card
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Mon, 12 Mar 2007
Pan-Asian Boxing Association (PABA) lightweight champion Dennis Laurente will defend his title on March 23 against interim champion Hero Katili of Indonesia in a 12-round scorcher at the Elorde Sports Center in Paranaque City.
The match-up is one of the two championship showdowns being arranged as the culminating activity of the week-long celebration organized by the family of the late Gabriel 'Flash' Elorde, which will be highlighted by the annual Elorde Sports Awards.
Laurente had won the PABA title with a split decision victory over Thailand's Somchai Nakbalee last October 31 right at the latter's hometown. Prior to that bout, Laurente had prevailed on a unanimous decision over Rustam Nugaev at the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar Larios event at the Araneta Coliseum.
The other championship showdown pits Philippine featherweight champion Vinvin Rufino of the Johnny Elorde Stable defending his title for the first time against Victor Man-on in another 12-round offering.
An exciting undercard will feature Juan Martin 'Bai' Elorde, grandson of the late Flash Elorde, in his second professional bout against Ludegario Albao.
The young Elorde had an impressive debut fight last February 24 right in his grandfather's hometown in Cebu, easily outpointing Joseph Mateo over four rounds at the historic 'Moment of Truth' card.
Bai Elorde did not only look impressive in that fight, but also showed flashes of the exciting fighter that Flash Elorde once was when he was still terrorizing the world's junior lightweight division.
