Davao pug to fight Thai for IBF Pan Pacific title By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Sun, 20 Apr 2014  FORMER Luzproba champion and be-medaled amateur boxer Jerwin ?The Pretty Boy? Ancajas of Davao City will face Petchwanchia Sor Visetkit of Bangkok, Thailand for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) Pan Pacific bantamweight title on May 3 at the USEP Gym in Davao City. The boxing card billed as ?Tibay ng Pinoy 3? is promoted by the MP Promotions USA LLC in cooperation with the Joven Sports Promotion. ?Admission to this boxing card is free to public,? said MP Promotions? representative Raides ?Nonoy? Neri, who arrived already in Davao City from Las Vegas, USA. It is supported by The Royal Mandaya Hotel, Pepsi, Sting and Rep. Manny Pacquiao of Saranganni Province. ?Manunuod din si Boss Manny sa laban,? said Neri, also assistant trainer of the newly-crowned WBO welterweight king Pacquiao. The 22-year Ancajas, who has a record of 19 wins with 10 Kos and only one loss and one draw, is now managed by the MP Promotions in Davao. After he suffered his only loss by a majority decision to Mark Anthony Geraldo for the WBO Asia Pacific Youth flyweight title-fight in 2012, Ancajas then bounced back with six straight victories all via the short route. He previously knocked out in the second round Inthanon Sithchamuang in Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macau last February 22, 2014. Ancajas KO?d Ryan Bongcawil also in the 2nd round during the ?Tibay ng Pinoy 1? held in Lagao Gym last December 14, 2013. Ancajas? other victims were John Paul Bautista (3rd rnd. RTD), Miguel Tamayo (10th round, TKO), Xu Runlong (4th rnd. TKO) and Armando Casa (4th rnd. TKO). Visetkit, on the other hand, is toting a record of 20 wins, 6 KOs and 6 losses. The 26-year old Thai fighter has won all his last four fights. The 5-foot-5 southpaw stopped Zhongyong Xu in Thailand last October 25 then knocked out in the 5th round Mongkol Patanakan Gym in Bangkok last December 27. He later outpointed Norasing Patanakan Gym last January 31 before winning by a unanimous decision over Falazona Fidal in his previous fight last March 4. Pitted in the main supporting bout is the 10-rounder (122 lbs.) between Aston ?Deigo Corales? Palicte also of MP Promotions and Jobel Villegas of Elorde Stable-Paranaque City. Palicte has a 13W, 1L, 9KO record against Villegas? 9W,8L,1D,3KO card. Undefeated MP fighter Jonel ?The Kid? Dapidran (3W-1KO) will take on Japanese Yoshinobo Arai (3W,2l) of Tokyo, Japan in a 6-rounder 136 lbs. bout. Six other boxers from MP Promotions are also seeing action in the undercard.
