DAPUDONG-JIMENEZ TIFF ON NBN TONIGHT

Sat, 10 Jul 2010
Fight fans will get to finally see the fight between Filipino Edrin Dapudong and Mexican Jesus Jimenez for the WBC flyweight silver belt held recently in Tepic, Nayarit Mexico.
NBN Channel 4 will air the fight tonight Philippine time starting at 9:15PM to 10:15PM.
NBN 4 General Manager Joey Isabelo and program manager Agerico "Bobby" Arias had earlier 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.
