MANANGQUIL WILL SEE AVAILABLE BIG FIGHT OPTIONS FOR BORNEA OTHER THAN ANCAJAS

Jade Bornea, now 17-0 KO11, made a loud statement by scoring a nasty third round TKO win over Mohammed Obaddi in Mexico. Obaddi gave Bornea a tough fight in the opening round but started feeling the Filipino’s power in the second. It was in the fateful third stanza that Bornea hurt Obaddi with a power right hook. Sensing a hurt opponent, Bornea followed with a sharp left uppercut to the rib cage which sent Obaddi to his knees in delayed reaction. Obaddi failed to beat the count hence prompting the referee to stop the fight at the 1:25 mark. Bornea earns the top spot in the IBF Junior bantamweight ranking and makes him mandatory challenger to fellow Filipino Jerwin Ancajas.
Ancajas is scheduled to defend his title against Fernando Daniel Martinez of Argentina in February and may schedule a unification showdown with WBO champ Kazuto Ioka. Meanwhile, Bornea’s manager and Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil is not eager of staging him against fellow Filipino in Ancajas who is being handled by MP Promotions.
“Now that Jade is in the prime spot at the rankings, it will be easier to look for bigger fights for him. We will take our time. We will sit down and discuss the options,” Manangquil said.
Bornea could not contain his happiness with the sensational win.
“I promised my team and my countrymen that I will take win in an exciting fashion. And thank God I did. It was a great game plan and I stick to it. Obaddi was strong but I can handle his shots. I was waiting for a perfect opening and I found it in the third round. He has a good chin but I sensed I could hurt him more with a body shot. I look forward for a title shot soon. I would like to thank Sanman Promotions, Probellum and Sean Gibbons for making all these possible,” Bornea stated.
