Red 5 mibuntog sa BadBeat sa BAT
Masaligon ang kampo sa Mexican fighters nga sila si Uriel Lopez ug Hugo Reyes nga mamalik sila sa ilang nasod nga magmalampuson sa ilang kampanya sa Pinoy Pride 45 - “Quest for Greatness” nga gikatakda karong Sabado, Nobiyembre 24 sa IEC Convention Center sa brgy. Mabolo, dakbayan sa Sugbo.
“I’m sure that my boxers will win. We are not here for the money. Boxing is my passion. I have been here many times and I never bring dull fighters,” matod sa ilang manager nga si Antonio Lozada kagahapon sa press conference sa St. Mark’s Hotel.
“These boxers believe they can win it. Fighting for a world title is their ultimate dream. That’s good enough to be a motivation.”
Si Lopez (13-6-1, 6 KOs) mosuway pag-ilog sa korona ni World Boxing Organization (WBO) Oriental super bantamweight king Jeo Santisima (16-2, 14 KOs) sa main event sa promosyon.
“Confidence is always important. We know we are good fighters. We are confident that we’ll win. We don’t expect to come here and win on points, that’s a very bad idea. You got to come here to be aggressive and score a knockout because if it will go the distance you might become a victim of hometown decision,” batbat ni Lopez, World Boxing Council (WBC) Latino super bantamweight champion.
Sa iyang bahin, si Reyes (91-1, 7 KOs) makigbatok kang KJ Cataraja (8-0, 7 KOs) alang sa bakanteng WBO Youth super flyweight strap.
“I came here with confidence. I came here to fight and win it. I don’t want to win it on points. I know it’s not easy but I’m here to win by knockout,” asoy ni Reyes.
Sa laing bahin, si Ghanian George Krampah (14-3, 12 KOs) mipadayag sab sa iyang dakong pagsalig nga modag sa kaugalingon niyang tahas.
Ikaharong ni Krampah si WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight titleholder Albert Pagara (30-1, 21 KOs).
“I’m prepared. I’m here to win. I came from a far, it was a long journey of 17 hours. I know it won’t be easy but we came here prepared. We are not expecting a knockout but when it comes, we’ll embrace it,” asoy ni Krampah.
Nalangkat sa Red ang ilang ikatulong daug human nila pugngi ang pagmangtas ni kanhi SIT Skyblazers guard Archie Bantug aron buntogon ang Badbeat, 96-84, sa nagpadayon nga Barangay Association of Tejero (BAT) Above 40 tournament sa Tejero gym.
Ang Red kinsa gipangulohan ni Juanito Sasing nga may 18 puntos, naghupot na karon og 3-0 nga baraha samtang ang Violet (Badbeat) midailos ngadto sa 1-2 nga baraha.
Si Bantug, ang giilang speed demon sa Skyblazers kaniadto, maoy nangu sa Badbeat pinaagi sa iyang 15 puntos.
Sa laing duwa, midaog sab ang Green Team human sila maka-ipsot batok sa Blue Team, 95-91 alang sa labing una nilang daog.
