CUAMBOT POSTS SECOND WIN IN ONE WEEK By Alex P. Vidal PhilBoxing.com Wed, 21 Jan 2009 WEST COVINA, California -- Dismissed by a Mandaluyong City-based matchmaker as a ?has-been? for turning professional late, Remy ?Yoroshi? Cuambot continued to prove his critics wrong as he silently marshaled into his second straight win in one week recently to open 2009 with a big bang. Fresh from toppling Manny Talicsic in the undercard of the ?Judgment in the Far East? battle for vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) international featherweight championship between Bernabe Concepcion and Sande Otiendo at the Araneta Coliseum on January 11, Cuambot eked out another 6-round unanimous decision win over Jessie Tuyor at the Ynares Plaza Gym in Binangonan, Rizal on January 17. Fighting under the Aljoe Jaro Stable, Cuambot, a former amateur sensation from Iloilo City, now has four wins, 1 draw and one loss since he turned professional in February 2008. His manager Chad Colocado said promoter Aljoe Jaro has promised to book Cuambot in another blockbuster card in Araneta Coliseum on March 15 in the undercard of International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight champion Nonito Donaire Jr?s next title defense because of his ?good? performance. Before 2008 ended, Cuambot nosed out Ricardo Niones in Paranaque City on May 7 before trouncing his rival Ariel Cardoza by unanimous decision in Binangonan, Rizal on August 8. Colocado brought Cuambot, one of the only few professional boxers with a college degree, to Jaro after manager and boxer were ?shoved away? by a Mandaluyong City-based matchmaker who discouraged Colocado from taking in the then 28-year-old former medalist of the national youth amateur boxing championship. Jaro, for his part, said he took care of Cuambot after he saw he has the potential despite being a ?late bloomer.? Click here to view a list of other articles written by Alex P. Vidal.  |
