The rousing victory of Filipino southpaw Jerwin Ancajas over Puerto Rico's IBF super flyweight champion McJoe Arroyo will be featured on the top rating Viva Sports weekly boxing show "The Main Event" over Pinoy Box Office (PBO) on Sky Cable at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The show will also include pre-fight interviews with Ancajas and Arroyo and Juan Martin Elorde, the grandson of the great Gabriel "Flash" Elorde and the current WBO Oriental lightweight champion.
Sean Gibbons, the matchmaker who helped well-known international promoter and matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz to win the purse bid f or MP Promotions of eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao earlier told The Manila Stanard that Ancajas was given an opportunity to fight for the world title before his hometown fansat the air conditioned Navy Gym in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City and grabbed the opportunity with an impressive performance that stunned the Puerto Rican's handlers.
Arroyo won the vacant title with a 10th round technical decision over previously unbeaten ALA Promotions fighter King Arthur Villanueva at the Don Haskins Convention Center in Texas in July last year.
Ancajas sent McJoe through the ropes with a vicious flurry of punches in the 8th round and won handily on the scorecards of all three judges to the delight of the crowd who cheered Ancajas who told us after the fight that the support of the fans helped him rise to the occassion and give the Philippines its fourth world title.
This Sunday at 1:00 a.m. Manila Time, IBF flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero will defend his title against unbeaten 23 year old British champion Charlie Edwards at the sprawling O2 Arena in London in a fight that will be telecast by Sky Cable on pay per view.
Gibbons told The Manila Standard that Casimero is "the best kept secret in Philippine boxing" and he expects the hard-hitting Filipino to breakdown the defense of Edwards and take him out by the sixth round.
