BANAL ERRED IN CHOICE OF CAVE? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 22 Jul 2011  The father and manager of multi-titled and world-rated Tyson Cave of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada has chastised the handlers of AJ Banal for choosing his ward to challenge for the latter?s WBO Asia-Pacific title. In a phone interview with Kenneth Ragpala of Boxing News, the older Cave said, ?My son, Tyson is coming to win and I can assure you AJ Banal will be in a fight for his life. It will be the downfall of Banal.? According to his father, Tyson who is popularly known as the ?Prince of Hali? will put on a boxing clinic and will teach the pride of Ermita, Cebu a boxing lesson. ?My son is not much on power but he has speed and accuracy?. This is what the father /Manager of Cave said in the interview with Ragpala. The triple champ Cave who is the reigning WBC Continental American Super Bantamweight Champion also holds the Canadian Boxing Federation title as well as the Canada ?America-Mexico Super Bantamweight diadem is touted to fight in the style of Muhammad Ali in his prime and boast that the power punches of the Cebuano is useless because he can?t hit what he can?t see. When confronted of the bragging statements of Tyson Cave?s father, the soft-spoken defending champion said, ?I will let my fist do the talking. I will make sure he eats his words and learn to respect me.? The two combatants are all primed up for the Pinoy Pride 7 episode ?The Battle at Mactan?, which will be held for the very first time in the fully air conditioned Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City on Saturday, July 30, 2011 under the joint promotion of ALA Promotion and giant network ABS CBN.
