Finally, a TV Time Slot for Dapudong-Jimenez WBC Title Fight

After a week of uncertainly, the World Boxing Council (WBC) Flyweight Silver Championship between the Philippines Edrin "The Sting" Dapudong and World No. 1 flyweight Jesus "The Destroyer" Jimenez held in Tepic City, Mexico last June 19 will finally be aired on July 10 from 9:15 to 10:15 p.m. on the government television channel NBN 4.
NBN 4 General Manager Joey Isabelo and program manager Agerico "Bobby" Arias yesterday confirmed the availability of the time slot which follows the top-rated "Swerte sa Lotto," the lottery show which is regularly carried by NBN 4.
The airing of the WBC Championship bout will be a co-production project of NBN 4 and the Braveheart Boxing Club owned by sports journalist and boxing manager Manny Pinol, who manages the country's newest boxing hero from M'lang, North Cotabato, the 24-year-old Dapudong.
Dapudong, the former World Boxing Organization Asia Pacific Youth Miniflyweight Champion and former WBO Oriental junior flyweight champion, was a last minute pick to challenge Jimenez, who was rated No. 1 flyweight by both the WBO and WBC and Latino Flyweight Champion, for the vacant WBC Flyweight Silver title.
The 5' 5" tall Dapudong knocked out Jimenez in the first round of the 12-round championship bout, a feat that shocked the Mexican boxing fans and gave Filipino boxing followers a pleasant surprise on a weekend when five other Filipino world caliber boxers, including WBC junior flyweight champion Rodel Mayol, lost in different parts of the world.
The airing on Saturday is sponsored by Ambassador Eduardo M. Cojuangco, Jr., chairman of the giant food conglomerate San Miguel Corporation.
