Tinampay stakes crown vs Nazareno

MANILA, Philippines - Arniel Tinampay stakes his Philippine welterweight title against top contender Dan Nazareno Jr. tomorrow in the main event of a special nine-fight boxing card at the Filinvest Housing Covered Court in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Dubbed “Muntinlupa Slugfest,” the event is a rematch of their 147-pound showdown held early this year won by the 25-year old Tinampay by unanimous decision.

Tinampay represents the Montemayor boxing stable in Pasig City, while Nazareno comes from the Wild Card boxing gym in Paranñaque, now renamed as the Rod Nazario boxing gym in memory of the late boxing manager and promoter.

Mayor Aldrin San Pedro is sponsoring the show in cooperation with D.S. Almario boxing promotions and the weekly program Rod Nazario’s In This Corner.

Rod Nazario’s In This Corner will show the entire card for five consecutive weeks every Sunday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. over NBN-4.

In the supporting event, Ardin Diale (D.S. Almario stable), the country’s No. 7 light-flyweight contender, takes on Rodel Quilaton (SGG stable-Cebu) in a 10-round bout.
