Anyone knows why the IBO flyweight title becomes vacant prior Dave Apolinario gets it? Who's the champion before?

Maybe it's more better if he snatch the title thru a title defense match where he is the challenger and will face against a champion. Either way, a win is a win and he shows fierce on that match  although his opponent is far from his prime already.

Anyone who also have the idea about upcoming fights involving PH boxers? Do we have upcoming titles match? Or those previously PH champions that recently lose on their respective match this year will need to start from the bottom and climb up ranks?

Re-making the achievement of Manny Pacquiao is a remarkable thing to do, We know that Pacquiao is a legend in the history of boxing and going near his achievement is absolutely amazing. This is why I think Filipino Boxers especially newly discovered ones are trying to get as many achievement they can get, Most of them surely idolize Pacquiao and they are trying to do what Pacquiao did in his younger years.

Now, Let's see how young Dave Apolinario do in his next upcoming fights. He grabbed the spotlight now, I hope he won't let go of it.

I don't think that anyone, not even Filipinos can duplicate what Manny did during his time in boxing. Floyd might be undefeated when he retires and beat Manny. But still Pacquiao has the charisma and his style of boxing is very much appreciated by the fans all over the world.

As for the unknown Dave Apolinario, this is his obvious break out, thus becoming the only Filipino champion. Nothing wrong with that belt, and now the potential and opportunity just begun with this win.

I didn't expect that from Dave Apolinario. At a young age, he was able to prove himself in the ring. He has huge potential but I hope that he could follow in the footsteps of the boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao. To be honest, it's been already years but none could follow Manny's records. Filipino boxers only need to have more perseverance and eagerness to gain more titles.

Agree with you. It's still a World Title and we now have another champion representing the Philippines.

A first-round KO is hard to do but Dave did it. His winning record is impressive too and looks at his Knockout rate. He is a rising star and I'm looking forward to more of his achievements in the future. He's just 23 years old after all. More time to shine on the stage.

Hope more PH boxers will be back again in the boxing spotlight. We always have known about that. Not that we are looking for another Manny Pacquiao.

Surely Danny Garcia still is the favorite to win here, I think he got the Strenght, Speed, and Experience in getting that advantage in the fight against Benevidez, and this fight will be now, I can not wait to see the fight, If Jose Benevidez Jr. has pulled an upset here I really think Danny Garcia still has some face to show to his fans, while Benevidez Jr, will surely have a difficult time in getting back again,


That is good news pretty much from the ashes of some lost there will be a Filipino boxer that may rise to give us some way to keeping the fire alive, and even though the IBO title is not a major title it is a championship belt to give for the Filipino community, and Apolinario is still at his 23 years old so there is a huge ceiling to fill up and make it to the top, maybe after a couple of title defense moving up a division,


Yes, pretty much I will catch all of his fight right and even his training if I could find a video, and even though this is just the beginning it is likely that Dave Apolinario still is not a big name for the Filipino people right now, IBO is not a major belt after all, but I think in due time let's wait and see,

Danny Garcia has fought a lot of big names in the division that's why bookies have him the heavy favorite on this one. TBH, i don't have much knowledge about Jose Benavidez, he fought Crawford and lost via KO but tomorrow's outcome might not be the same as this is Danny Garcia's comeback fight after losing to Spence so he might not be sharp so i would go for Garcia via Decision @1.85, boosted  .


Though IBO is not so prestigious like the 4 boxing sanctioning bodies but still it is a good start for Philippine boxing to rebound from devastation so with that said, Dave Apolinario is the name to watch out for in the coming years.

Well I have to break this news to all Filipinos out there, we have a new champion in Dave Apolinario.

It was a first round knock out, so proud to hear that at least we have a champion. For sure the future looks very bright for the Dave and hopefully he will continue the torch for Philippine boxing.

Here is the final weigh in, both makes the desired weight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOehy73TD8

Garcia - 152¾  lbs
Benavidez - 153¾ lbs

Danny Garcia is still the huge favorite in this fight. I will not be surprised if he wins by a late stoppage or even with a knock out win. His left is still will be his favorite go to weapons. And winner of this fight will probably continue with this journey. While the loser will obviously have a hard time getting into the scene again.

He may feel sorry for a lot of things and I think this is the way he apologizes, he had a long rest after that Manny Pacquiao fight we can not say that his totally back after just one fight that is why this is fight with Omar Figueroa Jr. will settle it, He just got many things inside his head, but I think he's thankful enough for letting him come back again,  I think all the shit on his past he surely feels sorry about it, from thinking and posting on Instagram pictures hinting Suicidal thoughts, from chocking a waitress, knocking out an agitating fan,  sexually assaulting a woman, well maybe he feels sorry about it,


In my assessment of the video, Danny Garcia's smiling may indicate that he is nervous, and the way he does such things maybe him nervous or I could be wrong because it indicates two emotions, excitement, and nervousness, while Jose Benevidez Jr.'s smiles an evil grin, he surely is calm and collected and really focus on the fight ahead, for this fight I see Benevidez in a different perspective but Danny Garcia is a heavy favorite,

Danny Garcia VS Joseph Benavidez

Stake Odds for this fight were 1.13 for Garcia while 5.80 for Benavidez I think I'll be siding with the heavy favorite, my pick is Danny Garcia,

For the fans of Danny Garcia and Jose Benavidez, here is the first face off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU_1RNUxRik

Danny Garcia seems to be relax and just smiling, not sure if he is nervous, but seems to be very happy to be back in the limelight again.

Garcia still the outstanding favorite in his fight, 1.13, Benavidez 5.80.

The over 10.5 is 1.43, under is 2.75.

Regarding the AB press conference and how he bad mouth Showtime and Al Haymon, he has somewhat back track everything,

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgONGslM5x8/


He seems to know who is his friends is and who he should attack, Showtime and PBC has been helping him since then, he shouldn't bad mouth those two companies and he knows that it might back fire on him in the future that's why he has to make this apology.

Well, at least I have seen it, and right now for me I still think that Danny Garcia is more technical than Jose Benavidez Jr. and Danny Garcia really has a great form this is my opinion regarding the highlights these both fighters have shown, well I see Benadivez really has good reach and timing for a punch, but I still think Garcia is more technical and those crazy strengths he can pull releasing those left hook, was really devastating,


I think the kid will make his weight there is still plenty of time to prepare but he needs a good nutritionist to lose weight, it is easy for a boxer to lose weight but to gain weight is a different story well this is just my opinion regarding the fact, I know that there would be some that will say it is easy to gain weight than to lose it aswell, well it will surely depend on the person's metabolism and the case of Ryan Garcia he is really skinny and I think he has difficulty in gaining weight, for this fight, I think I like Gervonta Davis Jr, to win this but still, Garcia can always come on top,

Going down in weight is very much easy for Garcia, I think he can make it.

The problem is with the network, both are in the two opposing, DAZN and Showtime, and according to Oscar they could make the fight happen if both of this two network are willing. But it seems that for now Showtime doesn't like the idea or maybe even DAZN. So we will see how Oscar and Floyd are going to work this one out for the fans.

Regarding the much anticipated fight between Davis and Ryan Garcia, Tank said or at least his promotion, Floyd Mayweather that he is not going to fight Ryan at 135 lbs. So Ryan needs to go down to 135 lbs since his last 2 fights where in the limit of 140 lbs. For sure he can still make this weight and schedule the fight this December or early next year so that we will see who is the best in the 135 lbs and then Garcia can move on to 140 lbs if he wanted to.

Oh no problem mate, yeah you did add the whole undercard in the fight.

The fight is pretty much stack up I would say and overall good supporting fight. And for sure this fight is going to sell a lot of tickets. Garcia has big fights in Barclays and he has the support of the Puerto Rican boxing fans. Nevertheless, he will be up against one of the best underrated puncher in Benadivez Jr so we will see who will get it first, his left hook or Benavidez Jr straight right.

Oh! sorry, I haven't noticed your post, but I have added the whole fight event if anyone is interested because I am also interested in seeing Adam Kownacki VS Ali Eren Demirezen fight because after Adam Kownacki lost to Robert Helenius last year he recovered from the 2 consecutive lost he attained, and Demirezen is quite the guy with a great record,

And Jose Benavidez Jr. to Terence Crawford, with a TKO win, I think he really needs to pull himself up but I guess Benevidez Jr. for me needs more experience in fighting well-known guys, but surely this is a kind of bout I am interested to watch,


I agree he should stay in the division that would likely he can dominate, but maybe he wanted more, but for me, I think that Benevidez Jr, has the upper hand with power, but I guess Danny Garciathe  has the upper hand when it comes to experience he can win this if he can fight wisely, getting all of his arsenals on the fight, Garcia is already at 34 to the 30 Benevidez, but I think Garcia still got that speed, and technique, he just needs to be more technical in their fight,

Funny Broner as usual. But he's got a point though. Even with Covid, actual face-to-face press conferences are happening like Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serano, Canelo-Bivol, and Shakur-Valdez. Maybe PBC and Showtime consider this fight as not-so-big of a fight that is why there was no face-to-face press conference. Broner can relax and still wear his press conference outfit though during fight week. I'm watching this fight and I hope it's still entertaining.


I'm watching this fight too. Both are inactive. Benavidez fought last year but was clearly out of his prime after a 3-year layoff. He barely made it a draw against a nobody. Danny Garcia is also inactive for more than a year but I expect him to be more fresher than Benavidez. I felt bad for Benavidez career. He used to be a very very promising prospect. I don't know how it was possible but he did turn professional when he was only 17 years old. Maybe it was his ego and his lifestyle that he failed to become a world champion. Or maybe he would've become a world champion if he was with PBC during his 20s. Too bad he was with Top Rank together with the boogeyman. Terrence Crawford mercilessly annihilated him into oblivion.

I'm surprised Kownacki is fighting someone with a good record after his back-to-back knockout losses. This should be a good one with both men can knockout each other.

True. He loses the advantage at 140 in going up 154. His loses comes from the remarkable fighters which he really is good at 140. It might be different this time with 154 but he still have the advantage since Benavidez has a knee injury which is a bit of a disadvantage climbing at 154. Makes sense for Garcia to move to superwelther though.

For me, Kownacki VS Demirezen is a more interesting fight than the main event.

I don't think that he can also thrive in this division, he is good at 140-147 but I would say that fighting big guys, he was exposed and his left hook was not that effective anymore.

Maybe he will have a edge in talent, but power Benavidez is +1 for me.

As for his father, I do agree, both father trainer has a big mouth, so just imagine if both Lopez and Garcia fought and their fathers taking the limelight because of their loud mouth.
