Laurente.
THE fight between undefeated Criztian Pitt “Golden Boy” Laurente of General Santos City and unbeaten Richard Bulacan of Davao City for the Philippine GAB Youth super featherweight championship will now be held on June 18.
“It will also be held at the Mobo, Masbate,” said promoter Gerry Penalosa of Gerrypens Boxing Promotion.
The fight, dubbed as “Battle of the Undefeated”, was originally slated on May 28 in Binan, Laguna.
The 22-year-old Laurente of the Laurente Boxing Stable is also under the Gerrypens Boxing Promotion. Laurente and his father-trainer Titing will leave for Masbate on June 12.
Laurente has already sparred with southpaw Jhack “El Kapitan” Tepora (23-1-0, 17KOs) of Cebu, Ernie Sanchez (19-17-2, 10KOs) of General Santos City and Harmonito “Hammer” Dela Torre (22-3-0, 14KOs) of Cagayan de Oro City.
Laurente recently scored a 2nd round knockout over Vicente Casido of Dumaguete City last February 26 at Sanman Gym in Gensan.
He had three successful fights last year including Sanchez, who was stopped in the 5th round last October 23 at Bawing in Gensan.
Laurente earlier beat Ernesto Saulong of Santa Rosa City by a unanimous decision last March 20 in Binan City then scored a knockout on Kim Lindog of Bukidnon in the 3rd round last July 16 in Talisay City.
The Laurente-Bulacan 10-round fight is sponsored by PAGCOR and Bingo Plus.
