Heavy-handed Florante Condes of the Aljoe Jaro Stable is expected to reach 150 rounds of sparring next week, and is well within the 105-lb limit as he prepares to challenge IBF minimumweight king Muhammad Rachman in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The fight takes place on July 7 at the Indoor Tennis Senayan Stadium, the final date allowed by the IBF after several postponements made on the fight.
So far, Condes has already racked up 130 rounds of sparring, but is slated to do 8 tomorrow, 6 on Wednesday, 6 on Friday, 6 on Monday next week, 6 next Wednesday and 4 on June 29, which will be the last sparring day.
If plans dont miscarry, Condes will have a total of 164 rounds for the Rachman fight.
As of now, the promotional obligations have been taken by Ndondo Sugiarto in partnership with Tourino Tidar, after original promoter Albert 'Mr Tom' Papilaya reportedly disappeared following a string of unfulfilled promises. The new promoters then petitioned the IBF to move the fight from its original schedule of June 16 to a new date on July 7.
Jaro said that Team Condes will be flying to Jakarta on July 2, and will return on July 9. Condes and Jaro will be accompanied in the trip by trainer George Sol and lawyer Joaquin Mendoza.
"Nagkasundo na kami ni Florante na knockoutin na namin para matapos na ang gulo," (We have agreed with Florante to knock out Rachman so we can finally get over this), said Jaro.
