Promising Filipino boxer Z Gorres struts his stuff again before local fight fans as he takes on Deeden Kengkarun of Thailand in a special 10-round bout this Saturday at the newly-renovated San Andres gym.
Billed as “Return of the Z,” the boxing promotion will be Gorres’ first ring appearance since his remarkable first round demolition of Los Angeles-based Glenn Donaire in the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao-Eric Morales super-featherweight match in Las Vegas, Nevada four months ago.
The hard-hitting prot?g?e of boxing patron Tony Aldeguer vows to put on a similar show against his Thai opponent in their super-flyweight match this weekend.
“Preparado po ako para sa laban na ito,” Gorres said when he appeared in the weekly PSA Forum yesterday at the main function room of the Pantalan Restaurant in Manila. “Continuous po ang training ko straight from the US.”
Also with Gorres in the public sports program sponsored by Red Bull, Circure, Supermax, Pagcor and Manila Mayor Lito Atienza by Cebu promoter Sammy Gello-ani, American agent Mike Kocz, World Boxing Organization Asia-Pacific representative Leon Panoncillo, Kengkarun and fellow Filipino boxers Ray “Boom Boom” Bautista and Michael Domingo.
Domingo is set to meet Joel Bauya for the Philippine bantamweight crown while Bautista is gearing up for his August 19 fight in Sacramento, California where he is expected to headline a special boxing promotion, according to Kocz.
