                    [Summary] => Diosdado (Prince) Gabi was supposed to face World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in a 12-round title fight in Phuket, Thailand, on Oct. 8.


What bothered Gabi’s manager Soc Piñol was despite a verbal commitment, no contract was ever sent by Pongsaklek’s camp to firm up the details of the bout, billed as the highlight of the WBC annual convention in the resort town.

As it turned out, Pongsaklek got cold feet.

Tunacao's acid test

not_entIn 1992, Cebu prospect Noel Tunacao lost a unanimous 12-round decision to Hiroki Ioka in a bid for the World Boxing Association (WBA) junior flyweight title in Kitakyushi, Japan.

On May 19, half of Tunacao's dream will come true. [DatePublished] => 2000-05-11 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1804869 [AuthorName] => Joaquin M. Henson [SectionName] => Sports [SectionUrl] => sports [URL] => ) ) )
