Lopez stakes title vs Thai

Filipino Fighter Sylvester Lopez puts his World Boxing Council (WBC) International super flyweight crown on the line against Wandee Singwangcha of Thailand in a boxing card promoted by Elorde International Productions on July 31 at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

“It’s hard to predict [a win] because he’s also good, so I’ll just do my best,” Lopez said in Filipino yesterday at the PSA Forum at Shakey’s UN Avenue.

Another Filipino pug, Ryan Bito, challenges WBC flyweight champion Sooksan Caichan Sanmuangloie of Thailand in the other clash of the triple main event.

Warlito Parrenas and Jonathan Tacuning square off in an all-Filipino bout for the vacant light flyweight championship in the fight card held in in coordination with Rizal Gov. Casimiro Ynares III.

“The Thais punch hard, but the Filipinos have better strategies,” said promoter Bebot Elorde in the forum presented by Outlast Battery, Pagcor, Accel and Shakey’s.
