UPCOMING undefeated boxer Roskie "Kapre" Cristobal of Cotabato will trade punches against Rolly "The Shocker" Llino of Butuan in the undercard of the Boxing Revolution II: Clash of Little Titans slated this Saturday night, Oct. 11 at the Almendras gym.
The 5-foot-10 Cristobal is also dubbed as "The Gentle Giant" due to his height advantage against his many opponents.
Cristobal, a native of President Roxas, North Cotabato successfully made his pro debut via a first round knockout against Jun Condolon on Feb. 2, 2012 in Pigcawayan.
His next victim was Harry Klerk, who was also stopped in the first round by a technical knockout on March 7 on that same year in Makilala.
Cristobal then stopped Jovy Dayandayan by a 1st round TKO on April 28 in La Trinidad, Benguet and stopped Romer dela China by a similar 1st round TKO on Aug. 12 in Magpet, Cotabato.
In 2013, Cristobal won two fights also via the short route. He TKO'd Michael Manambay in the 1st round on Aug. 4 in M'lang and retired Eric Mansira in the 3rd round on Sept. 11 in Misamis Occidental.
This year, Cristobal started with a 3rd round KO win against Michael Manambay at the Oval Plaza covered court in General Santos City on Jan. 14.
It was followed by a majority decision victory against Gabby Siempo last June 28 at the Almendras gym.
Cristobal is still undefeated with 8 wins, 7 knockouts and no loss or draw while the 24-year old Llino has 5 wins with 12 loses and 1 draw.
"Pero, hindi siya (Cristobal) dapat magkumpiyansa kasi mas beterano ang kalaban," said trainer Rex Penalosa at the SCOOP Session of The Royal Mandaya Hotel.
Llino, who turned pro in February 2010, however, lost by a 4th round TKO against Rene Pahayag last May 4, 2014 in Camiguin.
Cristobal is one of the most promising boxers now handled by the Sonshine Sports Management Inc. - LITO DELOS REYES
