Chi impressed by Bautista in sparring
By Salven L. Lagumbay: No less than WBC World Featherweight champion In-jin Chi and his trainer, Jin-Kil Kim of Korea have been lavish with their praises for WBO Asia-Pacific Bantamweight king Rey 'Boom-Boom' Bautista after watching the latter clobber their two Korean stablemates in a torrid sparring session at the ALA gym last Tuesday afternoon.
The 18-year-old teenage boxing sensation Bautista first took on the much bigger Jung Jae Kwong, bloodied the Korean's nose and inflicted a small cut above the latter's eye to abruptly halt the sparring session after just three rounds.
Next to spar with the talented Cebuano youngster was Minsung Lee, the Korean Super-bantamweight champion and OPBF No. 3 contender and it was no different as the reigning WBO Aspac titleholder practically outclassed the visitor.
"He is very good -- strong and brave. He will become a world champion," said the visibly surprised trainer, Jin-Kil Kim who also trains the two Korean stablemates of In-Jin Chi.
The two Koreans, Minsung Lee and Jung Jae Kwang are here to train at the ALA gym together with WBC World featherweight champion, In-Jin Chi in preparation for his title defense against Australian Tommy Browne on January 30, 2005 in Seoul, South Korea.
The Koreans opted to train here due to the freezing weather in Korea and also because of the quality of sparring partners among the boxers training at the ALA gym.
Bautista has been impressively sparring with heavier sparmates as in the case with the two Koreans and the 135 pounds lightweight Glen Masicampo whom he floored last week.
"He is two weeks away form peak form but his power is now awesome as we have long prepared for this because of the African iron-jaw reputation. We will go after the body if we have trouble knocking him out," said ALA Gym chief trainer Edito 'ALA' Villamor who was himself a former world-class fighter.
The power-punching Bautista is all business in his training for his first title defense against the dangerous African warrior, Vuyisile Bebe who is expected to fly in a week before the fight.
"The titular showdown between Bautista and Bebe will be an explosive thriller. I have seen the African fight and I have advised Bautista to be careful," warned Promoter Sammy "Don King" Gello-ani.
