BOXING REVOLUTION III: Dapudong eyes KO win, wants rematch with Marquez


PhilBoxing.com




FORMER International Boxing Organization (IBO) world super flyweight champion Edrin ?The Sting? Dapudong is eyeing for a knockout win against former Pan Asia Boxing Association (PABA) flyweight king Richard Garcia in their 10-rounder fight in the main event of the Boxing Revolution III set June 26 at the Almendras gym.

?Hindi ko masisiguro kung ma-knockout ko siya pero paningkamutan nako (I?m not sure if I can knockout him but I will just try),? said Dapudong at the SCOOP Session of The Royal Mandaya Hotel last Tuesday.

The 28-year old Dapudong has a record of 30 wins with 18 knockouts against six loses while Garcia, 31, has 25 wins (7 KOs), 21 defeats and one draw.

If Dapudong wins, he wants a rematch with Mexican Hernan Marquez, who beat him via a 3rd round knockout during their world title-fight for the WBA flyweight crown last July 2, 2011 in Mexico.

?Depende yan kina Gov. Manny Pinol at Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy sa Sonshine Sports Management Inc.,? said Dapudong, a native of M?lang now based in Davao City under the Sonshine Sports.
He previously stopped Thailand?s Wisanlek Sithsai in the 5th round last October 11, 2014 at the Almendras gym.

Also present at the weekly public service sports program sponsored by The Royal Mandaya Hotel were three other boxers under SSMI ? Rolando ?Smooth Operator? Magbanua, Romel ?Little Assasin? Asenjo and undefeated Roskie ?Kapre? Cristobal ? who were accompanied by trainers Bruce Lerio and Rex Penalosa and SSMI representative Aaron Vergara.

All of the other boxers also want to win by knockouts but could not predict on what round they can do it. They also said that they will just have to try and do their best.

?The boxers are all now ready since we have prepared long for this promotion,? said Lerio.

Proceeds of the event dubbed as ?No Guts, No Glory? will be used for the scholarship program of the Jose Maria College.

Magbanua, a former WBO Oriental bantamweight title-holder with a record of 25 wins, 17 Kos, 2 loses, takes on former Philippine Boxing Federation champion Jimmy ?Xcon Tirador? Aducal (8 wins, 6 Kos, 5 loses, 2 draws) for 10 rounds while ex-WBO Oriental mini-flyweight king Asenjo (26 wins, 20 KOs, 4 loses) fights Michael ?Matibay? Rodriguez of Baguio in another tenner.

The 26-year old Asenjo[E1] (26 wins, 20 KOs, 4 loses), previously fought but lost by a 3rd round TKO to Juan Francisco Estrada for the WBA super world flyweight and WBO world flyweight crown last March 28 in Yucatan, Mexico.

?Lumaban kasi ako sa mas mabigat na timbang na flyweight (115 lbs),? said Asenjo, who is only a minifly (108 lbs.).
The corner of Asenjo threw the towel after Asenjo?s right eye was already swollen with only 43 seconds left in the third round.
The undefeated Cristobal (10 wins, 8 Kos) will face veteran JR Mendoza of Cavite in an 8-rounder 135 lbs. match.

?Kabalo ko na beterano siya, pero wala ko na hadlok sa iyaha (I know he is a veteran but I?m not scared of him),? said the 5-foot-10 Cristobal.

Pitted in the main supporting bout is former WBO Oriental featherweight Lorenzo Villanueva against ex-Philippine Boxing Federation flyweight champion Rey Las Pinas (10 rds.-130 lbs.).
Also featured in the undercard are Jose Ocampo vs. Jaime Barcelona (8 rds.-130 lbs.); Vergil Deluma vs. Freden dela Cruz (6 rds.-118 lbs.); Arnold Garde vs. Rez Padrogane (6 rds.-130 lbs.); Alvin Lagumbay vs. Joe Tesones (6 rds.-130 lbs.); Gerald Alvarez vs. Prince Canonero (4 rds.-105 lbs.).
