Highland Boxing Promotions is bringing an absolute thriller of a fight to the Cordillera highlands!
Set for August 1 at the CCDC Gym in La Trinidad, Benguet, Japanese ring general Mugicha Nakagawa fights undefeated Filipino knockout machine Lemuel De Barbo!
🔥THE MATCHUP🔥
This bout represents a classic contrast in styles and ring philosophy:
Mugicha Nakagawa (Japan):
The highly experienced technician. With over 34 professional fights under his belt against top-tier Japanese and international regional contenders, Nakagawa relies on a sharp jab, clever ring generalship, and disciplined combination punching.
Lemuel Kenneth De Barbo (Philippines):
The explosive power prospect. Hailing from General Santos City, De Barbo brings an undefeated record built entirely on stoppage victories.
He possesses game-changing knockout power and aggressive forward pressure.
💥TACTICAL KEYS TO THE FIGHT💥
***Early Rounds (De Barbo's Danger Zone):***
De Barbo will want to establish pressure early, cut off the ring, and land heavy hooks.
If he can force Nakagawa into high-risk exchanges near the ropes, his raw power could end things quickly. 💥
👉Late Rounds (Nakagawa's Engine Room):**
Nakagawa’s path to victory relies on weathering the initial storm, using lateral movement, and dragging De Barbo into deep waters past the halfway mark where veteran conditioning and composure take over. Will see...
