Romero Duno was all but excited for Saturday night as he made his appearance in the boxers’ grand arrival at the MGM Grand, Tuesday afternoon.
“I feel excited for this fight because this is a big card,” the pride of Cotabato said.
Duno will fight the American Ryan Garcia for the vacant WBC Silver Lightweight title and will be the co-main event of the Canelo Alvarez-Sergey Kovalev fight.
The 24-year old, however, is a heavy underdog in the fight. Garcia has a clean slate of 18 wins with 15 knockouts while Duno has 21 wins including 16 KOs and one defeat.
“A lot of people said that King Ryan will beat you, King Ryan’s speed will beat your power. I said to myself maybe I can have a technique to counter that kind of speed,” he recalled.
Duno earned the alias “Ruthless” because of his power punches while Garcia is known as “the Flash” due to his speed.
Making things possible for Duno-Garcia fight was the Golden Boy Promotions led by its CEO Oscar Dela Hoya after it failed to push through on the first offer.
The fight itself will greatly boost Duno’s campaign to make his name known as Garcia is very popular in social media with his million followers. And a win from the fight could eventually draw interest for bigger names in the boxing world.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Pacquiao's alleged illegitimate son Eman Bacosa goes pro.

The 19 year old Emmanuel Joseph Bacosa, who is allegedly the son of Manny Pacquiao, fought Jommel Cudiamat in the “Blow by Blow” undercard event last September 23, 2023.

Cudiamat vs Bacosa resulted in a split draw however, as of today, boxing fans are getting hype with Eman’s physique as it resembles teenager Pacman.

Fans are comparing Eman to the legitimate sons of Manny who are having a comfortable life. They are expecting Jimuel Pacquiao “legit son” Pacquiao vs Eman “bastard son”.

Pacquaio promoted “blow by blow” which is coincidentally the start of his illegitimate son’s professional career.

MP Promotions produced Blow by Blow, a weekly sports television boxing program airing on One Sports channel.

As of this writing, Eman’s photos beside Pacquaio are spreading online.

Joanna Rose Bacosa is reportedly the mother of Eman.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
