Yesterday, Cinco de Mayo, was another great day for Philippine boxing. Two of the brightest prospects, super-bantamweight Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and super fly Alex John "Bazooka" Banal, made a big leap into the waters with significant victories in the International Boxing undercard of one of the biggest fight in recent years, "The world expects," followed by "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya and "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather headliner.

AJ Banal, weighing 115 pounds,proposed a unanimous decision over Juan Alberto Rosas opponent, win £ 112 in one of the most important battles. There was no precipitation, but Bazooka was able to prove his dominance by winning all the judges cards. Banal increased its record to 13-0-1 (10 KOs), while the game fell to Mexican 25-3.

One of the main undercard, knocked Boom Boom Bautista, 122 pounds, his opponent Sergio "Rocky" Medina, 122 pounds, twice (round 6 th and 11 th round), before scoring a unanimous decision victory. Tohis credit was able to Medina, the young Bautista reeling on the ropes in the 7th Round. But in the end showed Boom Boom, was the superior fighter and handed the tough Argentinian his first defeat. Bautista has maintained his record 23-0 with 17 KOs, while Medina dropped to 28-1.

As a result of title eliminator, WBO # 1 challenger Bautista is now managed by WBO bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce de Leon super challenge. Ponce de Leon has recently defended his crown with aunanimous but unpopular decision over veteran Gerry Penalosa. It has been speculated that he would Bautista de Leon Matchup will send you a splendid fight for us. AJ Banal, on the other hand, shows great promise. He is ready to be a future champion in the super-fly divisions and Gallo, but probably needs more competitive attacks added to enhance his experience.

The long training in Puerto Rico injected a lot of positive mojo in the two Pinoy boxers, and taxationCebu Boxing manager Antonio L. Aldeguer as they arrived in Las Vegas with fire in his eyes and thunder in his fists. Being in the presence of "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya, the two young people inspired to do their best in their training sessions. World-renowned trainer Freddie Roach, who gave underseeing the formation of banal and Bautista, enthusiastic words to say about the two rivals. Even the Golden Boy was impressed with the young fighter.

I would say unless Boom Boomand bazooka to threaten their explosive moniker suit their combat styles, something ridiculous for its present status, as well as the rape of a beauty contest participant, the future looks bright for these two warriors as the sun in a summer 'cloudless summer.
