LITTLE-KNOWN Filipino boxer Joan de Guia has made a step towards a possible title shot in Mexico and make a name after he demolished the game Dexter Mendoza in their non-title bout Monday night at the Dr. H. Arayata Sports Complex sa Tanza, Cavite, Philippines.

De Guia, who is rated No. 12 by the Games and Amusement Board of the Philippines, staggered Mendoza with series of counter straight punches to the face, forcing referee Virgilio Garcia to save the hapless taller fighter from taking more punishment in round 6 of scheduled 10-round featherweight bout.

The 24-year old pride of Catbalogan, Samar but is based in Tanza has improved his record to 11-11-4, 3 knockouts.

De Guia said after the fight that he expects to challenge the undefeated Mexican Juan Carlos Burgos for the vacant World Boxing Council Youth Intercontinental featherweight title on Sept. 11 at Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City.

Before De Guia’s win, he had agreed to face Burgos but the wife of his estranged manager called up a fellow mediaman who told the WBC that the Filipino boxer is mismatched against Burgos, who is unbeaten in 25 bouts, 18 of those wins were by way of knockouts.

De Guia said after his victory, he’s ready to fight in Mexico and will try to soundly beat Burgos to prove his critics wrong.
