HINDI DAPAT MAGPABAYA SA TRAINING, INTENSIDAD NI DEMECILLO, TATAPATAN

“YUNG iniisip ko palagi dahil champion na ako is wag magpapabaya sa training,” iyan ang pangakong salita ni Michael Dasmariñas sa panayam ni Mike Miguel ng RealFight PH. “Para sa akin, pressure din na may hawak ka na belt kasi ‘yung mga contender nangangarap din na makalaban sa champion.”

Tatapatan diumano ni Dasmarinas ang susunod niyang non-title bout sa kapwa Pinoy na si Kenny “Big Heart” Demecillo (14-4-2) mula sa Cebu City para sa IBF World Title Eliminator fight.

Mayroon o wala pang korona sa International Boxing Organization na nakataya, itinuturing na rin ni Dasmarinas na isang kampeonato ang naturang laban. Magbabalik ang 26-anyos na kampeon sa Singapore matapos na maangkin ang IBO bantamweight gold noong nakaraang Abril 2018.

Sa ilalim ng Ringstar Boxing ng “Ridhwan Ambunda II - The Rematch,” sa Marso 29, 2019 sa Singapore Indoor Stadium magsisilbing co-main event ang laban ni IBO World Bantamweight champion “Gloves on Fire” Dasmarinas (28-2-1), ang laban. Dating WBF Intercontinental Bantamweight champion si Demecillo at dating 2-time WBF Asia Pacific Bantamweight Champion.

Nabanggit ni Ringstar Founder CEO Scott Farrel, “The first word that springs to mind is: Tough. This fight for the IBF number one spot, and a chance to face the IBF world champion is going to be one very tough fight, for both Michael and Kenny. Michael will need to hurt Kenny early in my opinion, or it could be a very painful night for the “Gloves on Fire” power puncher.”

“However, Michael is in this position for a reason. He needs to prove to everyone that he belongs in the top world rankings and that he deserves a shot at the title. As for Kenny, from what I have researched, he is absolutely brave, relentless, and can take plenty of hard shots. He has some great combinations, and if he sticks to his game plan and doesn’t get caught, he could end up winning the fight,” pagtatapos na pahayag ni Farrell. (MC)
