MEXICAN VOWS TO AVENGE MONTIEL KO LOSS PhilBoxing.com Mon, 14 Mar 2011  Rosendo Vega. Hard-hitting Mexican brawler Rosendo ?El Matador? Vega is determined to avenge the loss of compatriot Fernando Montiel who was annihilated by the ?Filipino Flash? Nonito Donaire in a devastating second round knockout in Las Vegas last February 19, 2011. Vega who sports a record of 11 knockouts in 16 wins with only 6 losses will get this chance when he trade blows with ALA Gym stalwart Milan ?El Metodico? Melindo on Saturday, March 19, 2011 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino. In an email to ALA Press Office, Vega said in Spanish ?Voy hacer a Melindo lo que hizo Donaire a Montiel? (I will do to Melindo what Donaire did to Montiel) and he added ?Melindo no es fuerte, asi que no tengo miedo de entrar y noquearlo? (Melindo is not strong so I am not afraid to come in and knock him out). The durable Mexican warrior who lost a close grueling 10 round decision to WBA Flyweight World champion Daiki Kameda of Japan has the arsenals to derail the world title aspiration of the cat-quick Melindo who is expected to be named soon the mandatory challenger to IBF Flyweight champion Moruti Mthelane. ALA Promotions President, Michael Aldeguer warns that ?Melindo is not taking this fight lightly. He has trained just as hard ?maybe even harder than when he fought former IBF world champion Carlos Tamara.? Aldeguer added, ?he has everything to lose including a probable world title shot this year if he fails to hurdle this fight.? When asked to assess his coming fight with Rosendo Vega, the undefeated 21 years old Melindo quipped, ?Vega will not know what will hit him. My training for this fight is primarily focused on power I will be much stronger for this fight than ever before.? The highly world-rated Melindo is one of the most talented wards of the famed ALA Promotions and has fought and beaten some world-class fighters like former world champions Carlos Tamara and Muhammad Rachman, world title challenger Carlos Melo of Panama, Guadalupe Martinez, former WBC Youth Intercontinental Champion Anthony Villareal of USA and the OPBF #2 contender Jin Man Jeon of Korea. This much-awaited classic match up again between the Philippines and Mexico headlined by Milan ?El Metodico? Melindo and Rosendo ?El Matador? Vega will usher once more another slam-bang event of ALA Promotions Pinoy Pride 4-The Philippines vs. The World. To spice up the blockbuster card is another explosive encounter between ALA marquee fighter AJ ?Bazooka? Banal when he defends his WBO Asia Pacific Bantamweight title against the veteran slugger Francis Miyeyhusho (24 (KO17) +8 +2 draws) in one of the exciting supporting bouts. The ?Pinoy Pride 4 -The Philippines vs. The World? will also feature foreign fighters led by Steve Clagget of Canada, Kenichi Yamaguchi of Japan and Jemmy Gobel of Indonesia against their Filipino counterparts RP#2 rated Romeo Jakosalem, Marjohn Yap and OPBF Flyweight Champion Rocky Fuentes. Tickets are now available and can be purchased at ALA Gym Banilad Town Center (032-4162011); ALA Promotions (032-2364611); Waterfront Cebu City Hotel Lobby; USA Sports Btq-Ayala Center (032-4121069) and Bisaya Ispisyal Btq.-Ayala Center (032-2312676).  |
