A MONTH AGO ROMERO DUNO WAS SCHEDULED TO FIGHT LAMONT ROACH BUT LAMONT BACKED OUT BECAUSE OF INTERPERSONAL FIGHT CAMP NEWS FROM DIFFERENT TRAINERS THAT DUNO WAS A HEAVY HITTER.

THE OTHER FIGHTER DID NOT WANT TO BE IN THE RING WITH DUNO.  EVEN THOUGH THE FIGHT WAS CANCELLED, WANG YU TAN WHO IS DUNO’s MANAGER PERSEVERED ON GETTING HIM ANOTHER EXCITING MATCH UP.

HE WILL NOW FACE CHRISTIAN “ CHIMPA GONZALES ON MARCH 10 AT THE BELASCO THEATER. CHRISTIAN IS 5 FT 8 INCHES WITH AN ORTHODOX STYLE.  HE HAS A RECORD OF 16 WINS, O LOSSES AND 0 DRAWS. ON THE 

OTHER SIDE OF THE CORNER WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN ROMERO DUNO WHO IS RANKED NO 1 IN THE WBC ASIAN LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION. DUNO HAS 12 WINS WITH ONE LOSS AND 0 DRAW.  HE IS BEING TRAINED BY THE 

FORMER WBC LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, RODEL “ BATANG MANDAUE’ MAYOL. A VERY EXPERIENCED CONDITIONING COACH WAS BROUGHT IN FROM THE PHILIPPINES WHO IS KNOWN AS STANLEY GODINEZ.

THE 2 COACHES FROM DUNO’S CAMP IS A WELL KNOWN IN MANILA AND THE OTHER WELL KNOWN PROVINCES WHERE CHAMPIONS ARE MADE LIKE ASTON PALICTE WHO IS NOW THE NABF/WBO INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.

WHO WAS ALSO TRAINED BY RODEL AND STANLEY….

     ROMERO DUNO IS DEFINITELY PUMPED UP FOR HIS DUEL WITH CHRISTIAN GONZALES.  HE HAS WAITED A LONG TIME TO BE IN A RING WITH A PROVEN MEXICAN AMERICAN CHAMP WITH NO LOSSES.   ALL THE MITT WORK, 

THE SIT UPS AND  RUNNING AT  GRIFFITH PARK COMBINED WITH THE DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE LESSONS GIVEN BY RODEL IN THE WILD CARD GYM WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE.   THIS FIGHT WAS SPONSORED BY GOLDEN BOY 

PROMOTIONS AND IS FOR THE VACANT WBC YOUTH INTERCONTINENTAL LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE.   DUNO WANTS THAT BELT AND RAISE HIS ARMS WITH HIS MANAGER WANG YU TAN AT THE END OF THE BRAWL….THE PINOY FANS 

WILL BE THERE AT 1050 SOUTH HILL STREET LA CA 90015 ON MARCH 10, THIS FRIDAY TO REGULATE THE MEXICAN FANS THAT THERE IS A NEW CHAMP IN TOWN AND HE IS RUTHLESS…..
