Though IBO is not so prestigious like the 4 boxing sanctioning bodies but still it is a good start for Philippine boxing to rebound from devastation so with that said, Dave Apolinario is the name to watch out for in the coming years.

Agree with you. It's still a World Title and we now have another champion representing the Philippines.

A first-round KO is hard to do but Dave did it. His winning record is impressive too and looks at his Knockout rate. He is a rising star and I'm looking forward to more of his achievements in the future. He's just 23 years old after all. More time to shine on the stage.

Hope more PH boxers will be back again in the boxing spotlight. We always have known about that. Not that we are looking for another Manny Pacquiao.

I didn't expect that from Dave Apolinario. At a young age, he was able to prove himself in the ring. He has huge potential but I hope that he could follow in the footsteps of the boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao. To be honest, it's been already years but none could follow Manny's records. Filipino boxers only need to have more perseverance and eagerness to gain more titles.

I don't think that anyone, not even Filipinos can duplicate what Manny did during his time in boxing. Floyd might be undefeated when he retires and beat Manny. But still Pacquiao has the charisma and his style of boxing is very much appreciated by the fans all over the world.

As for the unknown Dave Apolinario, this is his obvious break out, thus becoming the only Filipino champion. Nothing wrong with that belt, and now the potential and opportunity just begun with this win.

Re-making the achievement of Manny Pacquiao is a remarkable thing to do, We know that Pacquiao is a legend in the history of boxing and going near his achievement is absolutely amazing. This is why I think Filipino Boxers especially newly discovered ones are trying to get as many achievement they can get, Most of them surely idolize Pacquiao and they are trying to do what Pacquiao did in his younger years.

Now, Let's see how young Dave Apolinario do in his next upcoming fights. He grabbed the spotlight now, I hope he won't let go of it.
