BARDON READY FOR OPBF TITLE CHALLENGE By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Tue, 13 Mar 2007 Jojo Bardon of the Rex 'Wakee' Salud Stable will depart for Japan on Thursday confident that when he goes back home the OPBF flyweight belt is already strapped on his waist. The 27-year-old Bardon will take on undefeated Japanese Masaharu Naganawa in a 12-round bout for the vacant OPBF 112-lb title on March 18 at the International Conference Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Bardon will be accompanied in his trip to Japan by trainer Juanito Ablaca and Filipino boxing judge Sev Necesario, although his manager Rex 'Wakee' Salud remained non-commital to the trip as he has been invited to watch the Gerry Penalosa-Daniel Ponce De Leon bout this weekend. Salud stressed that he is having a hard time choosing which event to attend, saying that although Penalosa's fight is far bigger, Bardon is his boxer and should be given moral support. Trainer Juanito Ablaca has indicated that Bardon has prepared long and hard against the undefeated Japanese by sparring against tough boxers at the Wakee Salud Gym. Naganawa is undefeated in 11 fights with 2 knockout wins, which indicate that he may not be a solid puncher and may opt to outpoint Bardon. The San Carlos City-raised Bardon, who holds the Philippine flyweight title, parades a less-than-stellar record of 16-10-1, 8 KO's. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Salven L.
