After a long search, we were finally able to locate the video of the fight between Braveheart Boxing Club’s Ryan Rey Ponteras and Thai IBF Pan-Pacific Flyweight champion Ruslee Samor in Chonburi, Thailand last Dec. 26.
It was Ponteras’ first big fight in a checkered boxing career and his fifth under the wings of the Braveheart Boxing Club which I and my brothers own.
Ponteras won this fight but yesterday in Okinawa, Japan, he was robbed of another victory when members of the Japan Boxing Commission in Okinawa declared his opponent, Go Onaga, winner through a bizarre “Defeat by Foul” ruling.
Onaga quit in the 4th round after he was hammered by Ponteras but instead of declaring the Filipino boxer the winner, the Japan Boxing Commission officials at ringside declared him the loser by “Defeat by Foul.”
Portion of the Ponteras-Onaga fight will be posted on Wednesday.
In the meantime, watch and enjoy this video of the Ponteras-Ruslee fight which started in Round 2.

COTABATO HAS ONE POTENTIALLY ACTIVE
AND TWENTY NINE INACTIVE VOLCANOES
I am endlessly amazed by the wonders of modern information technology because by merely clicking www.wikipedia.com, an internet user can possibly get all of the answers for almost all of his questions.
Take the case of the subject of volcanoes in Cotabato.
By merely clicking the free online encyclopedia, I had the biggest education shock of my life.
First, that Mt. Apo, which I have climbed for a dozen times, while it is continuously spewing out smoke from its crater, is listed as the only “potentially active” volcano in North Cotabato.
Second, there are twenty nine inactive volcanoes in the province and in its boundaries with Lanao del Sur, one of which is Mt. Akir-Akir which I have climbed once before.
Third, there is a listing under the Bulakanon Cone Field and I am not sure if this refers to Bulakanon in Makilala which is near Mt. Apo and the boundary of Mlang and Tulunan towns.
If it is, then Makilala town will have the biggest number of inactive volcanoes in North Cotabato.
I will make additional inquiries with Philvolcs about this and give you an update.
As promised, here is the list of the Inactive Volcanoes in Cotabato, the potentially active volcanoes in Mindanao and the active volcanoes in the Philippines.
