?MULAWIN? EXCITED TO FIGHT AGAIN IN METRO MANILA By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Thu, 14 Apr 2016  CURRENT World Boxing Federation (WBF) International featherweight champion John Vincent ?Mulawin? Moralde of Davao City is now really very excited to be fighting for the second time only in Metro Manila on April 30. Moralde first saw action in the Big City last March 21, 2014 when he scored a majority decision against Roman Canto in their 8-rounder match held at the Fil Oil Flying V San Juan Arena in San Juan City of Metro Manila. After two years, Moralde will come back already as a champion but still undefeated to face a dangerous Jimmy ?Xcon Tirador? Aducal of Samar in the main supporting bout of the Brawl at the Mall: Undefeated slated at the Makati Cinema Square in Makati City. It will be a 10-round non-title fight promoted by his own young manager- promoter Jim Claude Manangquil, Chief Executive Officer of the Sanman Promotions. ?Excited talaga akong makabalik muli sa Maynila upang lumaban. Marami din kasing boxing fans doon,? said Moralde, who was recently awarded as one of the outstanding boxers in the 16th Gabriel Elorde Boxing Award held this month in Paranaque City. The 21-year old Moralde is still undefeated with a 15 straight wins with no loss or draw while Aducal, a former interim Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super flyweight champion is 8W-5L-2D-6KOs. Moralde, who recently got married, previously won his new title via a convincing unanimous decision against Anthony Sabalde of Cebu last February 13 at the Gaisano Mall Atrium in General Santos City. ?This will be another strong challenge for John Vincent since Aducal is not a push over and he is a quality opponent,? said Mananquil. The 25-year old southpaw is under the Xcon Stable in Mandaluyong City. ?We want to keep John Vincent active to prepare him for bigger fights this year,? said Manangquil. Moralde thanked Sanman Promotions for giving him another opportunity. ?I have trained hard for this fight. I respect my opponent as a fighter but i will be victorious come April 30,? said the 5-foot-7 Moralde. ?If there is an opportunity for a knockout I will do it,? he added. Moralde also won the WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental featherweight title by a UD over previous unbeaten Brayd Smith of Australia last March 14, 2015 in Queensland, Australia. Pitted in the main event of the Brawl at the Mall: Undefeated is the championship match for the vacant WBF International bantamweight crown between two undefeated fighters ?Magic? Mike Plania (9W-0L-0D-4KOs) of General Santos City and Lorence Rosas of Puerto Princesa (5W-0L-2D-2KOs). Admission is free to the public. --- LITO DELOS REYES Photo: Moralde (left) and Aducal.
