Former IBF minimum weight world champion Florante Condes, nicknamed "The Little Pacquiao' because of his southpaw stance and punching power, has been added to the ALA Promotions-ABS-CBN "Pinoy Pride 35" fight card at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino on February 27.
Condes will battle unbeaten KO artist Melvin Jerusalem who has a sizzling record of 7 knockouts in 8 wins and is ranked No. 1 by the Philippine Games and Amusements Board.
Jerusalem is coming off a 2nd round TKO of veteran Crison Omayao who had a total of 30 fights.
Condes who won the world minimumweight title on July 7, 2007 beating Muhammad Rcahman of Indonesia in Jakarta, has a record of 23 knockouts in 27 wins as against 9 losses and 1 draw.
He won the title with a split decision mainly because one Indonesian judge had the hometown boy ahead even though
Condes dropped him once in round 3 and once more in round 10.
The 34 year old Condes won the vacant IBF Pan Pacific minimum weight title with 7th round TKO over Cris Alfante who had a record of 10-1 with 4 knockouts on March 15, 2014 but dropped a close eight round decision to Japan's Ryoichi Taguchi at the Korakuen H all on July 5, 2014.
