Blow By Blow, the weekly boxing program which served as the breeding ground of boxing champions including 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, will be relaunched on Nov. 8 with the staging of a 12-bout card in General Santos City.
The fights, composed of four 8-round, four 6-round and four 4-round bouts, will feature unknown fighters who are raring to be given the chance to prove their worth.
Pacquiao, the incumbent Saranggani Congressman, decided to relaunch the program where he made a name in boxing as he prepares to hang up his gloves and focus on his political career.
The Nov. 8 card, Blow By Blow Reloaded, The Search Begins, will be held at the Lagao Gymnasium in General Santos City where the young Pacquiao started his boxing career.
The fights will be divided into four segments and will be aired every Sunday on TV5 on a date to be announced later.
The “Blow By Blow Reloaded” TV show will be produced by former North Cotabato Gov. Manny Piñol, who is also a boxing writer and commentator.
Blow By Blow Reloaded promoter Lito Mondejar said the Nov. 8 card will be headlined by four 8-rounds featuring promising boxers in the flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight divisions.
“Blow By Blow Reloaded will be tournament style and five outstanding boxers will be chosen from each division and will be awarded with Pacquiao Trophies and cash incentives by December next year,” Mondejar said.
The five Most Promising Boxers (MPB) and an overall Most Valuable Boxer (MVB) will be featured in a big card against tough foreign opponents at the end of the annual tournament, he said.
