DAVAO CITY \u2013 Reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Asian Boxing Council Continental featherweight champion John Vincent \u201cMulawin\u201d Moralde of Davao City finally makes a ring comeback to fight Fil-American William \u201cBlack Slugger\u201d George of Kidapawan City on July 11 at the Robinsons Mall in General Santos City.<\/p>\n

The 10-rounder bout is the undercard in the \u201cAng Laban ng Heneral\u201d boxing promotion of Ran-Ran Bernardo and Brian Golingan.<\/p>\n

It will be Moralde\u2019s first fight since winning his WBC ABCC title by a convincing unanimous decision against previously unbeaten Brayd Smith last March 14 in Queensland, Australia.<\/p>\n

Smith was in coma after the fight and later died in the hospital on March 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that Moralde has recovered from that incident. This is a good fight for him before he goes again for a big fight later this year,\u201d said Moralde\u2019s boxing manager Jim Claude Manangquil.<\/p>\n

The 21-year old Moralde, who is based in General Santos City under the Sanman Boxing Promotions has reportedly been training for three months now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I guess he is now in tip top shape,\u201d said the 21-year old Mananquil, the youngest boxing promoter in the world.<\/p>\n

Moralde is still undefeated with a record of 12 wins with 6 knockouts and no draw. He also won the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) International super bantamweight title via a unanimous decision against Indonesian Jason Butar-butar last Sept. 13, 2014 in Lagao Gym, Gensan.<\/p>\n

Moralde also stopped Ronrex Dalut by a second round technical knockout in Bula Gym in Gensan last July 2, 2014 to capture the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super bantamweight crown.<\/p>\n

Moralde, a former top amateur boxer, pummeled to submission former world champion Rolando Navarette\u2019s son Rolando Navarette Jr. in the fourth round last July 22, 2013 in Bantayan, Cebu.<\/p>\n

George, on the other hand, is a Fil-Black American born in Kidapawan City.<\/p>\n

He previously lost by a first round knockout to Moralde\u2019s stablemate WBF featherweight champion Harmonito dela Torre in Panabo City last April 5. But George was not prepared against Dela Torre during that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorge, who is a Black American is now prepared to fight\u201d said Manangquil. George has a record of 10 wins, 3 KOs but with 22 loses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
