DAVAO City ? Featherweight Glenn ?Rapid Fire? Gonzales, minimumweight Edrin ?The Sting? Dapudong and bantamweight Glenn ?The Rock? Porras, the three newly-crowned World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia Pacific Youth Interim champions from the newly-formed Kingmaker Boxing Stable will still have to fight one more time before they will leave for the United States.
This was bared by North Cotabato Vice Governor Manny Pi?ol, who is planning to hold another boxing card on Aug. 5 under the Kingmaker Sports Promotions (formerly Braveheart).
Vice Gov. Pi?ol is now in partnership with the Chicago-based Rolando Hiso, a former member of the RP cycling team and manager of top Filipino cyclist Victor Espiritu.
?Bale wala kasi ang manager-boxer contract natin dito sa Pilipinas pagdating doon sa US. So we need to have another stable or promotion doon,? explained Pi?ol, who said that they are now also looking for a trainer in Chicago.
Gonzales, 21, landed quick left-right combinations to knock out Boydo Simanjuntak of Indonesia in just two minutes and three seconds of the first round.
Dapudong, 21, also stopped Sakmanee Sithchalcaw from Thailand with a vicious left cross in 2:46 of the third round, while Porras scored a convincing unanimous decision over Indonesian Marangin Marbun.
