CEBU, Philippines — Nagbangutan karon ang Cebu boxing tungod sa pagpanaw ni legendary trainer Juanito “Jun” Ablaca, Jr. niadtong Miyerkules, Oktubre 20, human sa taud-taud niining pakigbatok sa mga komplikasyon sa diabetes.

Si Ablaca kanhi boksidor apan mihimo og pangan isip trainer ug tighulma og mga kampiyon.

Isip usa sa mga primerong trainers sa nabantog nga ALA Gym, si Ablaca dako og natabang pagbaid sa abilidad nilang Gerry Penalosa, managsoong Edito ug Edmund Villamor, Joma Gamboa, Andy Tabanas, Jun Gorres, Ramie Dumpa, Jojo Jagdon, Randy Suico ug daghan pang mga ALA Boys.

“Juanito was one of the pioneer trainers of ALA Boxing Gym. He was instrumental in handling the boxing career of ALA (Edito) Villamor and Andy Tabanas among others. He was smart, dedicated and loyal. Another big loss to boxing. May his soul Rest In Peace,” matud pa ni Antonio “Bidoy” L. Aldeguer, ang amahan sa ALA Boxing nga nanirado sa miaging tuig gumikan sa pandemiya.

“He is a great influence as my trainer before. Dako siya’g na-contribute nako of who I am today from a boxer and now as a trainer. I have a high respect on him and his family,” paambit pa ni Edito.

“Dako siya og natabang nako, sayang wala na siya,” padayag pa ni Penalosa.

Mao sab ang gibati ni Suico ug ingon man sa kauban nga trainer ni Ablaca nga si Brix Flores.

“Serious siya, an amazing trainer. Thank you for making me feel proud sa tanan nakong mga achievements as a professional boxer.Your positive attitude has really kept me going.Thank you Ablacs, may you rest in peace in paradise,” dason pa ni Suico.

“Naa siya’y mga boxers nga na-world champion pud. Unya daghan sad siya og natabangan nga mga trainers nga nakatrabaho sa Japan ug ingon man mga boxers nga makaduwa sa abroad. Overall, maayo siya nga trainer unya maayo pod siya nga taw. Anugon nga nawala siya, d aghan pa unta siyang matabangan,” dason pa ni Flores.

Suod nga higala ni Manny Pacquiao, si Ablaca nakahulma sab og lig-on nga koneksiyon ni Japanese promoter ug matchmaker Joe Koizumi, nga misalig kaniya pagkuha og mga Pinoyng boksidor aron maka-away sa Japan.

“I feel very sorry to hear that my dearest friend Juanito Ablaca passed away. Juanito and I had many opportunities to collaborate in booking Edito Villamor, Joma Gamboa, Randy Suico, etc. He was a trainer/handler of ability so that he cultivated a lot of excellent prospects out of the legendary ALA gym. I have no words to express my deepest personal sorrow with Ablaca’s passing. May his soul rest in peace,” matud pa ni Koizumi.
