A lot are rooting for Gaballo to pull an upset and bring home a title for the country. I for one is also hoping for an upset but I always vote what my mind says. I say Gaballo only has a punchers chance here. Moloney is capable of scoring a knockout too but he also has decent skills while he is already fighting at home and is also the defending champion. Gaballo is used to winning by knockout and is only fighting once a year since suffering his first defeat at the hands of Donaire and he might gassed out in the later rounds if he cannot knockout Moloney in the first half.

It's true, we will support our Filipino boxers no matter what, but if we will decide without emotions, I think some of us here are going to vote or bet on Moloney. Although I think Moloney has been in some crazy wars, I think he might still pull the trigger and will destroy our very own Gaballo. But it's going to be a war, I don't see Gaballo easily giving up his dreams unless it will be a body shot that he can't recover.

So he will be looking for a early knockout, but he should be ready for a grueling 12 round fight if necessary and training to have a lot of gas tank that can last him the full distance. If he faded in the latter rounds after dominating Moloney early, it will be a tough lost for him.

At last, Reymart Gaballo will have another chance again to compete in one of the top belts in the Bantamweight Division. After a failed attempt at the WBC Bantamweight title last 2021 against fellow PH boxer, Nonito Donaire Jr., I think now against another foreign national, he will be more excited to fight.

Jason Moloney has been one of the most popular boxers in the bantamweight division for long but he's currently way past his prime. Nothing really special in most of his fights and not against big names. His big fight experience may be against Naoya Inoue but he's just a substitution there.

Anyway, this is the chance now for Gaballo to pursue his long-time desire. I'm sure he can handle the much older Moloney.

And if we can say that this year is Japan's golden era in boxing, then we can conclude it as well that during Pacman's prime and Nonito Donaire it could also be very well considered as Philippines golden era. However, we all know that sooner or later those boxers are going to retire.

I do agree that this fight is still very close, but I check my favorite sports bookies, and as usual the odds is not yet listed.

Moloney though might be the slight favorite, but definitely Gaballo can be considered as live dog here.

No question that he is a great boxer but I don't see him being a special one. However, I believe that the quality of Moloney is not hard for him to beat, so I'm rooting for him.

I would agree with that. If I were to choose the top boxers in the Philippines based on the time I witnessed all their fights, this would be my ranking:

-Pacman
-Donaire
-Casimero

I think among the active boxers now, Casimero is the most dangerous fighter, but he has been unfortunate that his journey in boxing has turned sour. His enemy here is time; although he still has the talent, he is not getting the championship fight that he deserves.

Actually there we're a lot of good PH boxers during the time of Manny Pacquiao, not only Donaire but.

- Hawaiian Punch Brian Villoria
- Donnie Nietes
- Penalosa

Anyhow, we want to see Gaballo to win here, he is very young, good potential, he just have the right trainer for him. Just like Roach with Manny Pacquiao or Donaire with his father early on in his career.

If Gaballo sees this as a huge opportunity to make a name for himself, he will try his best and he will be motivated to fight Moloney at his very best condition. But if he won't change his boxing skills and let this chance slide, then his career in boxing will probably be over because no one has recovered from and back to his shape except a boxer who already established a name in the Industry. an unpopular boxer like them should have high aspirations to exert all their effort to win like Manny was in his prime, as we can see, most of these new boxers are all the same, they seem not to take this huge opportunity as a chance to train well and give the fans the best of themselves when they step inside the ring.

I think the Philippines has a lot of talented boxers, but they lack facilities and support from the government. Boxing is a sport where we could excel, but it seems there's not enough budget to motivate our boxers. While we've had champions in the past, maintaining this consistency is very important as Manny had already lifted us up. With the current standing of the Philippines in the world of boxing, it appears we are declining, which is not a good sign for our future. I'm afraid we might not see entertaining and successful boxers like Manny and Donaire anymore. These 2 were the best in their eras, but Manny is a legend, making him different.

It's declining as the Japanese is taking the boxing world right now and it has been said that it is now their golden years. Similar to the Philippines before, when Manny Pacquaio and Nonito Donaire was at the top. But after both are now retired, no one has carried the torch for the Philippines as they suffer defeat after defeat.

That's the sad reality, but we have to accept that it has really happened. However, it's not all the time that we will stay at the bottom. We have these young prospects that I saw being shared by our vloggers, and I'm surprised by them. The one I remember was Fajardo; that was his last name. I'm hoping to see his name on the list of champions in the future.

Hopefully Gaballo will be the one that will bring the championship again to the Philippines. But the competition is though against Moloney. Jason has the experienced and all the advantage as it will be held in his country.

No question that he is a great boxer but I don't see him being a special one. However, I believe that the quality of Moloney is not hard for him to beat, so I'm rooting for him.

Right, that stigma has stuck with us, Filipinos still doesn't forget how Manny Pacquaio was robbed by Jeff Horn fighting in his native Australia. And so we can't really take that out of the equation every fight that it scheduled on that country specially in this case as it will be another Filipino fighting. Nevertheless, it will be totally in the hands of Gaballo. He should come here as the aggressor as he is the the one going to travel in that country and that he shouldn't rely to the judges to win this fight. Yes, he has the power to knockout Moloney and so he should be going for that in this fight.

The pressure is high for Gaballo since there are currently no Filipino boxing champions on the list. He could be the first to become a champion after the listing became empty. Ancajas failed, so now he should take the responsibility to uplift our country in the boxing world. This is another chance for him; he needs to have a convincing win so he could start chasing his dream. Just like Takuma Inoue, who recently defended his belt, Gaballo is also inspired to become a champion, and maybe someday we will see Gaballo vs. Inoue, and hopefully, Gaballo will be able to avenge his fellow boxer who fell to the hands of Inoue.

The pressure is indeed very high but it will make him more hungry, Gaballo has a good record as a true knock-out artist, and the only fighter who beat him was Donaire via kidney punch I have high hopes that Gaballo will perform better than Ancajas and Sultan.

Gaballo has straight wins after that loss, 2 of which are via KO he is an up-and-coming fighter of all the fighters left in the Filipino campaign so far right now, there is no Filipino champion, there was a time when there were 5 Filipino champions, it's a very bad year for the Filipino boxing community since Pacquiao's retirement Filipino fighters are losing, I think its time for the boxing promoters to tap new talents.

I think the expectations are not too high since he isn't a champion; he is just a challenger in this context. Maybe "inspired" is the right word to use, but if he were to fail, there's no blaming him as he tried his best. It's just that our boxers now may not be as good as during the times of Pacman. Just like during the fight of Ancajas, I'm still optimistic that one Filipino will finally become a champion this year. By the way, if Gaballo loses, we still have Magsayo who has a chance to become a champion again but in a different division.

Moloney will have the advantage of fighting in his country, which might make it difficult to win on the scorecards. Based on their styles I expect it to be a competitive and exciting fight. Moloney doesn't have much power. Gaballo shouldn't be afraid to be aggressive and try to score some knockdowns so that it will convince the judges to give him the victory.

That's often the assumption, as people think judges may favor the champion, especially when fighting in their home country. The camp of Gaballo is likely aware of these possibilities, and rather than relying on that factor, they may strategize to ensure the fight does not go the full 12 rounds.

This is a crucial fight for Gaballo, as he might not have many opportunities if he fails here. On the other hand, the champion, even if he loses, still has the chance to become a top challenger in the future.

I consider this to be a very evenly matched fight. Moloney is a tough warrior, but his fights are often close and could go either way. Gaballo has already lost when he stepped up his level of competition and was knocked out by Nonito Donaire. Even though Donaire was already old and well past his best years I would still consider him a better opponent than Moloney. Gaballo should take that experience as a lesson and now that he is getting another opportunity, should be better prepared and have the motivation to become champion.

I am not too happy with Gaballo's last fight. I think he only unleashed 5 punches and that was it. And prior to the Thai opponent, Gaballo struggled against an unknown local opponent. Gaballo only fought once a year since he was defeated by Donaire. I haven't watched Jason Moloney's last fight, but I heard he somewhat struggled. Nonetheless, it's a title fight compared to the opponents Gaballo faced.

Of course, I would love to see Gaballo winning a title, but my head says Moloney has his number. Gaballo's lack of activity and lack of quality opponents did not enhance him. I still see him as a fighter with a raw power. He's still awkward but maybe Donaire Sr. will address his flaws now that they are working a bit longer. Gaballo has to land his power shots because Moloney has the skills while also capable of scoring knockouts.

Oh so he is trained by Donaire Sr? and I my recall, I think there was a storyline between Donaire Sr and Jr and during their fight years ago, it was highlighted. But I do agree that Gaballo is very raw talent and just like the rest of Filipino fighters, all of them have power, but they need to be polished at the beginning. Just like what Roach did to Manny early on when the take the kid on his wing.

He will be the underdog here and for sure Moloney is ready for a battle as he knows what a Filipino boxer is capable of. Him and Donaire should fight for the vacant title but he duck Donaire. But then Donaire lost to Alexandro Santiago in a upset.

Great chance for Reymart to become a champion again after falling to Donaire. I think he can beat Moloney as the latter is not so technical. Moloney was KO by Naoya Inoue, so he is not on the level of Inoue which I think Gaballo can also KO him. I'm interested on the betting odds of this fight, perhaps Gaballo will be the underdog, and I'm sure will bet on him to win by KO.

It looks like Reymart will have big chance of getting the championship belt again by defeating Moloney and this is Reymart opportunity to take revenge for his failure when he was defeated by Donaire.
In this fight, Moloney will be under pressure from Reymart because it is certain that Reymart is more careful and he is also boxer who has managed to win 90% by knockout.
Only one who managed to beat him was Donaire and it was truly surprising fight.

It's understandable why he lost against Donaire. It was probably due to the lack of experience in big fights, while Donaire has a lot of experience and is a dangerous fighter who can end his opponents via KO. In fact, Donaire was the only one who gave Inoue a tough battle in his career, so it's safe to say that Donaire and Inoue are on the same level, and if Donaire were still at his peak, perhaps even better.

So, in this scenario, Inoue beat Moloney, while Donaire defeated Gaballo. They are below them, but one of them has a chance to stay as a champion.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the Filipino will be the underdog.

of course he will be.

Of course he will really be the favorite in this fight, he has also been able to prove his prowess in the ring with the various wins and titles he has previously achieved.

Normally champ are the favorite to win, and since Gaballo hasn't been so impressive, then we can't expect him to flip the betting odds.
Let's take what the bookies will offer and decide from there if we bet.

Reymart is still very young, so there's a lot of promise for his career. Yes, that lost to another Filipino is a learning experience for him during that time. He was fighting one of the legends of Filipino boxing in Nonito and he is just unlucky that during that time, Donaire still can still pull the trigger. But Reymart has bounce back already from that L and now this year will have a great chance again to become a champion. Although every time you go to the champion's backyard and fight, you really need to win impressively and knock him out so that there will be no "home cooking" just like what happen to Manny in Australia against Jeff Horn.

That was two years ago, I'm sure he learn his lesson and as we can see on his fights after that, he had 3 straight wins, 2 are in KO and one is Split decision against his fellow Filipino Boxer. The last one is something very impressive, it's probably the reason why he was given a break on becoming a top contender against Jason Moloney. I believe it's a 50/50 fight but we are lucky that we can get an odds of an underdog.

Gaballo's last fight was not impressive to me bro, the Thailander did not come to fight you can see that in the way he winked at Gaballo as if he was saying don't be too hard on me bro Cheesy

the Thailander was waiting for Gaballo to throw those killer punches he was just too careful not to get hit on parts that he would get sleep, It was not a good tune fight for Gaballo, I'm sure after the fight he thinks that had better opponents in the gym.

Going back to the fight, Maloney is a worthy opponent he had a string of wins after losing to Inoue's, he had better momentum than Gaballo of course since he's a Filipino I'm rooting for him, he is one of the Philippines' promising boxer and this his chance to prove it.
