Filipino Welterweight Dan "Iron Man" Nazareno (R) of and Veteran Thai Chalermpon Singwancha (with red shirt) made weight ahead of their 12-rounder rumble for the vacant Asian Boxing Federation (ABF) Welterweight Title tomorrow Wednesday (April 9) in the Central Province of Ang Thong (อ่างทอง), Kingdom of Thailand, 100 Km north of the capital Bangkok.
"The Iron Man" Nazareno (19-10, 15 KO's) of Pampanga comes fresh from a good 2013 in which he won his only two combats by way of knockout. In November, the Iron Man pulverized in less than 6 minutes British boxer Liam Vaughan (8-2, 2 KO's) in one of the undercards of the Pacquiao-Rios fight last November in Macao.
Four weeks later, the 24 year-old Nazareno ravaged in two rounds tough Eusebio "Raging Bull" Baluarte (19-11, 12 KO's) of Bukidnon during their short but furious battle in Binangonan, Rizal; and now the Iron Man Nazareno wants the head of veteran Thai Chalermpon, who is a fearless former Muay Thai warrior willing to engage the Filipino in a man-a-mano rough action. Who will prevail?
Will "The Iron Man" Nazareno scalp his Thai opponent tomorrow in Thailand?
