CLASH OF THE BEST: MARTIN VS BAUTISTA FOR PBF 118-LBS STRAP OCT 28 IN IFUGAO By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Fri, 29 Sep 2017  Boxing is back with a big bang in the Ilocano heartland of Ifugao as local hard-hitting "Thunder" Carl Jammes Martin (L) risks his undefeated record in a tough 10-rounder against more experienced Boholano Vicent "The Lizard" Bautista for the coveted Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) Bantamweight Belt @ the Dep-Ed Gym in Lagawe, Probinsia ti Ifugao. The risk in line of fire is for the Filipino PBF title, a coveted belt that the 18-year-old Martin wants strapped to his belly. Will the "Thunder" Martin be able to strike a bolt of lighting to squash the dangerous Lizard? The Lizard says no; and there's only one way to know. 
Bolante (L) and Ligas (R). The co-main event will feature a clash of unbeaten young bantam warriors as "The Breaker" Ariel Bolante (3-0, 3 KO's) of the Nueva Vizcaya Boxing Stable trades power blows with fast and confident 19-year-old Manile?o Ben "Sniper" Ligas (4-0, 2 KO's) of the famed Elorde Boxing Gym of Para?aque, Metro Manila. Their 6-rounder encounter in 118-lbs weight class will come at a price as one of the boxers will lose his shinning unbeaten record, who will be? In the Flyweight division, newcomer "Pretty Boy" Rhoy Nagulman (0-0-1, 0 KO's) will climb the ring for the second time in his young pro boxing career to engage eager debutant from Batangas Jay-R Domingo of the Camp Xyxan Boxing Gym. In his first battle last month in Bayombong, "Pretty Boy" Nagulman fought to a close draw. Now, "Pretty Boy" wants a clear resounding win by scalping the Batangas rookie Domingo. Will "Pretty Boy" scalp the Batangas rookie... or will the rookie Domingo will scalp him? Their clash is a 4-chapter battle that you can not miss. Moreover, 112-pounder John Hasim "The Flash" Magagmoc (1-0, 0 KO's) of the Ifugao Boxing Stable will rumble Dipolog's 23-year-old Louie Kent Padilla (0-1, 0 KO's) of the Empire Boxing Gym in Fairview, Quezon City. The 4-rounder promises to be a non-stop war; and fans just wonder who will end up with his hand being raised. 
Kent Padilla. The first pro fight of the evening features debutant Flyweight Joshua Philip Tuguinay of the Ifugao Boxing Stable swapping power hands during four torrid rounds against fellow debutant Rolando Plaza of the Empire Boxing Gym in Quezon City. And that's not all. Because 10 more action-packed amateur fights complete the evening. Total 15 thrilling fights! This exciting card in the Ilocano land of Lagawe, Ifugao, Northern Luzon is billed as "CLASH OF THE BEST IN IFUGAOLANDIA," and comes as a joint effort of manager/promoter Romeo Tumiguing and master matchmaker Art Monis of Hardstone Boxing Gym.
