WSOF GLOBAL MMA FIGHTER FROM GENSAN MARIO SISMUNDO, MORE THAN JUST MANNY PACQUIAO?S DOPPELG?NGER PhilBoxing.com Tue, 19 Jul 2016  SISMUNDO READY FOR THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF HIS LIFE ON JULY 30 AT SMART ARANETA COLISEUM 19 July 2016 - MANILA: Mario Sismundo, who will fight on July 30 for the World Series of Fighting Global Championship 3: Philippines vs. the World card at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, says that he is more than just Manny Pacquiao?s doppelg?nger. Mario, who once doubled for Manny Pacquiao for a TV commercial, and also hails from General Santos City, also has plans of his own to be a world-renowned fighter. The resemblance is striking, in fact, when he trains at Fitbox Gym in Makati, he is often mistaken as Manny Pacquiao. Sismundo says, ?Sobrang na inspire ako na kamukha ko si Manny Pacquiao kasi yung kamukha ko o kahawig ko ay di ordinaryong tao, kungdi, sikat sa buong mundo dahil sa kanyang galing sa boxing, at isa pa siyang Senador ngayon. Baka sa pagtiyatiyaga at sipag sa mga laban ko, isang araw, masundan ko rin ang yapak ng idolo ko.? Sismundo continues, ?Malaking bagay na nakasali ako sa ganitong kalaking organization, na galing pating Amerika. Tulad sa akin, na galing sa General Santos City na matagal nang naghintay ng pagkakataon makalaban sa malaking audience, malaking bagay po talaga. Matagal ko po itong pinangarap at dinasal.? This will be Mario Sismundo?s biggest fight in his entire boxing and MMA career, fighting for the first time in a 15,000-seater stadium in Quezon City, alongside fighters from all over the world. Sismundo says that his family, specially his father, has been supportive of his career all this time. It is bittersweet though that at the biggest fight of his life, wherein his fight will be the co-main event on July 30, that his father won?t be able to watch it since he passed away just weeks ago. ?Sa pinakamalaking laban ng buhay ko, na matagal niyang hinintay, wala na siya?pero hindi iyon hadlang para ako manghina o mawalan ng gana lumaban, bagkos, lalo ko pang pag-iigihan ang training ko para manalo sa laban na ito, dahil inaalay ko sa kanya ang laban na ito?, Sismundo says. ?At alam ko kahit wala na ang aking ama, manonood siya kahit nasa ibang mundo na siya?, adds Sismundo.
