Filipino "Kid Terrible": Pinoy Power 3 is our Superbowl!!!


PhilBoxing.com




"Kid Terrible" Ciso Morales of Talibon, Bohol arrived today at the boxing capital of the world -- complete and rarin' to go.
"Our preparation was tremendous at the Kennel boxing gym in San Leandro. The Filipino-American community was so generous yet so forgiving of our need for privacy. We had little distractions and our focus will show on February 13 for the Pinoy Power 3/ Latin Fury 13.," enthused manager Kenneth Rontal of Cagayan de Oro.

"We left no stone unturned. Fernando "Cochulito" Montiel will have his hands full on the eve of Valentine's day. Ciso has been a distinguished fighter-- undefeated in the amateur and professional ranks. His guts and determination will carry him through. We offer this fight to Z Gorres who will be at ringside on fight night," added Rontal.

The enormity of the task at hand does not faze Team "Kid Terrible".

"It's the opportunity of our lifetime. With Top Rank, our Philippine promoter Sam Gello-Ani and our US promoter Sampson Lewkowicz all helping our cause, we have a great chance for the title.

PINOY POWER 3 is our Superbowl!!!!," Team "Kid Terrible" enthused.

"Salamat po sa payo ni Kuya Nonito, Sr. Malaki ang naitulong ni Arvin Jugarap. Sa larangan ng timbang, pampalakas at kondisyon, saludo kami. 123 libras ako bago pumatungo sa Las Vegas. Matagal naming hindi nagagawa iyon. Nararamdaman kong mas malakas ako kesa noong sa Canada (Thanks to Nonito, Sr.'s and Arvin Jugarap's help in the corner. We've had no problem with my weight control, strength and conditioning. I was 123 pounds before we headed for Las Vegas. It's been a long time since I've done that. I feel stronger than when we trained in Canada), the humble Morales explained.

"Madunong si Ciso at malakas. May paglalagyan si Montiel pag matamaan ng mga kumbinasiyon (Ciso is strong and savvy. Montiel will be in trouble once our combinations find their mark)," chief trainer Nonito Donaire, Sr. exalted.

"Ciso digested the regimen we've been working on in camp and it showed. Now it's time for us to show Montiel who's the hungrier fighter," extolled strength and conditioning coach Arvin Jugarap.
"Ipagdarasal ko ang aking best friend sa nalalapit niyang laban. Inspirasiyon kami para sa isa't isa (I pray for my best friend Ciso's success and well-being. We inspire each other," summarized Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona who fights Wilfredo Vasquez, Jr. in Puerto Rico this February 27 at the Puerto Rican lion's den.

Ciso "Kid Terrible" Morales (14-0, 8 KO's) vs Fernando "Cochulito The Rooster" Montiel (39-2-2, 29 KO's) spices up Pinoy Power 3 / Latin Fury 13 at the Las Vegas Hilton on Saturday, February 13. Featured Filipino bombers are Gerry Penalosa, Mark Jason Melligen, Bernabe Concepcion, and Nonito Donaire, Jr.
