DOLIGUEZ FACES TUBIERON IN EXCITING BATTLE OF SOUTHPAWS

In what promises to be an exciting battle of southpaws, tough Jun ?Hercules? Doliguez faces Dennis ?The Scorpion? Tubieron at the Mandaluyong City Gym on September 19 in a fight card promoted by youthful Elmer Anuran of Batangas.

The 23 year old Doliguez has failed to live up to the expectations of Anuran but after a training stint in the US followed up by his preparation for the Tubieron fight in Batangas, his manager believes he has something to prove and it will be a good fight.

Doliguez has an impressive record of 19-1-2 with 14 knockouts while Tubieron who is a fighter from the Gabriel ?Bebot? Elorde stable has a record of18-3-1 with 8 knockouts.

Anuran told the Manila Standard/Viva Sports that Doliguez is a work in progress and ?has a lot of things to improve on.?

In his last fight Doliguez put on a solid performance ro win an eight round unanimous decision in a rematch with Gabriel Francisco Pena last May 24 after dropping a six round decision to Pena on April 5 in which Doliguez was dropped in the opening round.

Doliguez made an impressive US debut in a fight at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas when he scored a 6th round TKO over Mexican veteran Giovanni Caro on October 12, 2013 and has yet to recapture that form.

Tubieron suffered a 5th round TKO loss to undefeated Valentine Borg in New South Wales, Australia on December 13, 2013 in a clash for the vacant International Boxing Organization lightweight title and recovered from that loss with a six round split decision win over Rey Ramos last June 28.
