DIALE GOES VIRTUALLY UNNOTICED ON HIS BIGGEST NIGHT

Arden Diale.
When Filipino Arden Diale (13-5 3KOs) steps into the ring tomorrow night in Mexico against hometown world Flyweight champion Julio Cesar Miranda (34-5 27KOs), he will be a decided underdog. Diale, an unheralded flyweight originally from Digos City on the island of Mindanao, has gone mostly unnoticed even by his own countrymen and its usually intent Filipino press corps.
Diale hopes to change all of that come Saturday night in Chihuahua, Mexico when he gets the opportunity every fighter in the world dreams of and takes on WBO Flyweight champ "Pingo" Miranda in a 12 round title bout.
Diale will try to become the latest in a long line of Filipino fighters to lay claim to a boxing world championship title belt. For Diale who is managed by Dante Almario and promoted by international promoter Sammy Gello-ani, the lack of aknowledgement from the media that he is even fighting for the coveted world championship will certainly all change if he is able to upset the highly favorited Mexican world champion Miranda.
Tommorow night Arden Diale fights not only for himself, and his country but Diale will be fighting to escape the obscurity that can come with being from the land of one of the greatest fighters in history, Manny Paquiao. Make no mistake about it, Arden Diale will have a tough time beating the Mexican world champion in his home country, but should Diale upset the world champion he will definitely no longer be ignored.
