Gorres, Bautista Confident of Beating Foes

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Z “The Dream” Gorres and Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista said yesterday they have been training hard even during the holiday season and are confident of winning against Mexican champions in their world title battles scheduled for March 4 in Cebu City. [details]

This is the moment of truth for the Pinoy's that like to talk loud!!! This is your guy's best up in comers, will you have more then just Paquiao? or is that it?for now! thats the Questions here, but to tell you the truth i do think they have a good chance because both Ponce and montiel are good fighters but their not Elite fighters yet either.

Confident?

Well they should be. Otherwise they have already lost even before they climb the ring. These are career defining fight for both.

I am rooting for Ray Bautista but Ponce is too experience. Ponce by KO. Ray is being rush for a title shot. He needs at least 2 more fights with tougher competitions.

Z Gorres vs Montiel, can't really tell.

As far as those saying Philippines having only Pacquiao if this 2 Pinoys losses, then so be it. Its better than nothing. Pacquiao has accomplished:
-top 10 P4P in the last couple of years.
-world title holder in 2 weight divisions.
-Ring mag featherweight champ.
-Ring fighter of the year
-has beaten MAB, EM, Larios, Ledwaba, Sasakul, Julio, and drew with JMM.

Like i said its better than nothing.

Bautista - Ponce - 122 WBO Championship (main event)
Gorrez - Montiel -116 WBO Championship
Mayol - Cazares 108 WBO Championship


Of the three Pinoys, Gorrez has the bigger chance of winning. For Bautista he is a bit green yet but I think he can outbox Ponce (since Ponce is very limited fighter). What I want to see is Mayol-Cazares, its gonna be war Im sure.

im glad mayol is in the card. lets go for a sweep

Manny Pacquiao won his first world title 13 days short of his 20th birthday when he KOd in the 8th canto Chatchai Sasakul who, as "WBC Interim Flyweight" titlist by virtue of a victory of Ysias Zamudio, won the WBC world crown by besting, in their return match, the long-reigning Yuri Arbachakov.

Bautista shall be about 3 months short of his 21st birthday in March.

Pacquiao was 23-1-0 going into the fight against Sasakul who was then carrying a record of 33-1. Pacquiao's only loss was via KO3 to fellow countryman Rustico Torrecampo while Sasakul's was to Arbachakov (by UD) in their first meeting. Bautista is undefeated after 21 fights, and has suffered only one KD on the way to winning by UD.

With his 23 wins, Pacquiao registered 15 stoppages; in his 21 victories, Bautista has 16.

Ponce de Leon has a much meaner punch than Sasakul and going into the March date, is more experienced than the Thai was when he faced Pacquiao.

The biggest chance of winning is Mayol. I still think that he is our best after Manny.

** By the way Katz, I gave JAXAN video fights of De Leon and Montiel for Gorres' and Boom Boom's trainer ALA VILLAMOR to study. Jaxan mentioned you...what's your role on this?

Man I seriously cant wait for this (3 more months!)...this is a HUGE event for Filipino boxing fans.

Ponce by KO. Montiel on points. The other one is a toss up
