THE young amateur boxers from Barangay Calinan will represent Davao City to the coming Batang Pinoy Mindanao Qualifying tournament slated on October 24-29 in Koronadal City.
?Kasama na kami sa official Davao City delegation,? said Kagawad Renato ?Tata? Villafuerte, who was informed Monday by the Davao City Development Division.
The young boxers aging 15 years old below are Emmanuel Canubas (32 kgs.), Raymond Albopera (34 kgs.), Adrian Keith Fernandez (38 kgs.), Lorenz Prevendido (46 kgs.), John Mark Tohoy (48 kgs.) and Efrelan Loreto (50 kgs.).
Head coach is Librado ?Jun? Sagarino while the assistant coaches are Jhon Rey Loreto and Noel Prevendido.
The Calinan team recently had a tune fight during the Bansalan Fiesta.
?Nalipay na ang mga boxers kay klaro na sila maka dula sa Batang Pinoy,? said Villafuerte.
Kagawad Tata is the older brother of the late City Councilor Louie Villafuerte, who started managing the Calinan amateur boxing team for many years.
One of the top boxers produced by Villafuerte is current International Boxing Organization (IBO) world flyweight champion Rey Loreto from Sitio Talaingod.
Loreto is a former member of the Calinan amateur boxing team before he turned pro and is now based in Baguio City.
The Davao City delegation is expected to arrive on Oct. 22 in Koronadal by bus.
A meeting is set at 1 p.m. on Oct. 22 for the referees and judges before the official opening program of Batang Pinoy 2015 at 3 p.m. by the Philippine Sports Commission.
The Association of Boxing Affiliates in the Phils. (ABAP) will hold a technical meeting at 6 p.m. to be participated by coaches and team managers.
The general weigh-in is on Oct. 25 at 7 a.m. while the official draw is at 11 am. Referees and judges will first have meeting before the start of the preliminaries at 3 p.m.
The National Batang Pinoy Games is on Nov. 27 to De. 2 in Cebu. ? LITO DELOS REYES
