“As I have promised, the search continues,” said Pacquiao, who was Blow-by-Blow’s main attraction in the 90s.

The 24-year-old Sumabong, who hails from Tagbilaran, Bohol, is coming off a split draw against Japan’s Kantaro Juri in Tokyo last September. It was Sumabong’s first bout outside the country.

“If you look at the fight program, you would see that most of the fights are scheduled for eight, six and four rounds. That is precisely the reason why we revived Blow By Blow—to look for new talent,” Pacquiao, who was Blow-By-Blow’s main star in the 1990s.

“Likewise, the fighters we sign up come from across the nation and that’s one way of discovering someone who could someday become a big star,” added Pacquiao.
