Danger Lies Ahead for AJ Banal PhilBoxing.com Mon, 16 Oct 2006 "Danger Ahead" is the most appropriate signal that should forewarn the 17 year old dimunutive AJ “Bazooka” Banal when he climbs the ring to test the mettle of Angky “Time Bomb” Angkota of Indonesia on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at the fully air-conditioned Mandaue Sports Complex. While it is true that the power punching Angkota parades a fearsome 17-3 win-loss fight record with 11 knockouts, the teen-age sensation Banal is no stranger at fighting high-caliber opponents as he has already annihilated four foreign foes most notably the previously unbeaten Ali Rochman and Sing Carryboy with both failing to last the distance. It cannot be denied however that the invading Indonesian packs a “time-bomb” in his fists as demonstrated when he knocked out Banal’s stablemate, ALA Boy Rocky Fuentes in a single round.  Banal, Melligen and WBO No.1 Super Flyweight contender, Z Gorres pose with Mandaue City Sports Director Cheryl Ouano and International promoter Sammy 'Don King' Gello-ani during a courtesy call with Mandaue City Mayor Teddy Ouano today. “Fuentes is not the only ALA boxer Angkota has beaten. He was also responsible of inflicting the only loss of Donnie Nietes’ previously unblemished record. His other prominent Filipino victims were current RP light flyweight champion Sonny Boy Jaro, former WBA miniflyweight world champion Joma Gamboa, former PABA title holder Marvin Tampus and Isidro Lorona of the SGG Stable,” said international promoter, Sammy ‘Don King’ Gello-ani when asked to assess the caliber of Angky Angkota. The 24-year old Indon fighter who hails from Jakarta is also the current IBF Pan Pacific light flyweight champion and also the Indonesian flyweight titleholder.  The "Filipino Assasin" Angky Angkota of Indonesia. Inspite of Angkota’s formidable fight record and holder of two crowns, the teen-age sensation Banal is completely unfazed and is ready to prove that he is worthy if his monicker as "Bazooka", the explosive rocket launcher. Topbilled together with the OPBF super flyweight Z Gorres who will do battle with Indonesian super bantamweight champion Sony Manakane, the SGG Sports Promotions dubbed as “WAR IN THE RING” is guaranteed to be another mega blockbuster boxing extravaganza. Tickets for the October 21st mega-boxing event are now on sale at these outlets: USA Sports boutiques in SM and Ayala, and at the Fight Club in Banilad Town Center. Tickets are reasonably priced at Php 500 – VIP/Sponsor, Php 300 – Ringside, Php 200 – Lower Seat, and Php 100 for General Admission.  |
