[edit]

[edit]
Main article: Erik Morales vs. Manny Pacquiao II

After beating season veteran compatriot Samuel Duran to win the GAB super featherweight title on 25 Nov 2005,[13] on 21 January 2006, Jaca faced Mexican journeyman Geronimo Hernandez on the Erik Morales vs. Manny Pacquiao II undercard in Las Vegas, Nevada, this marked Jaca's debut in the United States. Jaca scored an impressive first-round stoppage.[12]

OPBF ratings issue and OPBF super featherweight title challenge vs. Honmo

[edit]

In March 2006, Jaca, who was previously unranked by the OPBF in the super featherweight division, was suddenly elevated to no. 1 in the ratings, despite his bouts in the super featherweight division being not that credible enough yet, with some even arguing that his wins over Samuel Duran and Geronimo Hernandez were not that great, stating that Duran was a "washed" 100-bouts veteran and Hernandez' can be considered as a "bum." Furthermore, Jaca's compatriot Czar Amonsot who was no. 3 last December 2005 ratings was suddenly dropped from the rankings, marking questions in the OPBF super featherweight ratings.[14]

Due to Jaca being the no. 1 contender now, he was mandated to fight for the vacant OPBF super featherweight strap against Nobuhito Honmo on 20 May 2006 in Tokyo.[10] Jaca would however lose to the Japanese boxer via unanimous decision. (114–117, 113–116 and 112–116)[15]

Mano-A-Mano

[edit]
Main article: Manny Pacquiao vs. Óscar Larios

After his loss against Honmo, Jaca would be scheduled to face against Mexican Hector Javier Marquez in the historic Mano-A-Mano event between Manny Pacquiao and Óscar Larios on 25 August 2007 at the Araneta Coliseum.[15] Jaca would win via seventh-round unanimous technical decision after Jaca's cut, which he received in the third round worsened and Jaca was unfit to continue.[16][17]

Featherweight

[edit]

Jaca vs. Márquez

[edit]

In late 2006, it was announced that Jaca was scheduled against former world champion and reigning WBO interim featherweight champion Juan Manuel Márquez for the title scheduled for 26 October 2006 under the Golden Boy Promotions. However it would be "cancelled" due to Jaca's visa issues, upon learning that news, Jaca's long-time manager and stable leader Rex "Wakee" Salud reached out to Top Rank to include Jaca in the Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales III undercard, in which, the promotion would remove one scheduled bout just to accommodate for Jaca's match. Unfortunately for Salud, he got a call that the Jaca-Márquez bout would be pushed through 25 November 2006 schedule under the Golden Boys Promotions, to Salud's dismay as he was informed that the bout was cancelled not postponed, Salud had already committed the match under the Pacquiao-Morales III card on November 18. Salud would inform Jimrex Jaca and his trainer on November 2 to inform them about the commotions and to prepare to head on November 4 to train at the Wild Card Gym, Jaca would ask to go home to Sibulan. Unbeknownst to Salud, Jaca would suddenly flown towards the U.S. on November 2, to add things up, Oscar De La Hoya would receive information that Jaca is indeed training already in the Golden Boy Gym, against Salud's plans. Furthermore, Salud's manager contract with Jaca was supposed to last until 2009, however, Jaca went against his permissions, Salud who has been always at Jaca's side since he turned pro at 17 years old admitted that he felt cheated and insisted that Jaca's action was an act of treason.[18][19]

Setting his problems aside, Jaca would be scheduled to a WBO interim championship against Márquez as initially planned, now on 25 November 2025 at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.[20][19] Márquez' trainer-manager Ignacio "Nacho" Beristáin would admit that Márquez may be fighting a "first-class" opponent after observing Jaca's previous bouts, including the Mano-A-Mano match, Beristáin would state that the younger, taller and perhaps faster Jaca may be a formidable one and ultimately gained his respect.[17] In the fight, Jaca would give a respectable and credible performance against the much more experienced and better foe, the two fighters of opposing stance gave an enjoyable back-and-forth match with Márquez nealry being dropped by Jaca from a counrr in the second round and receiving a cut that streamed blood down in Márquez' right side of his face. Ultimately, Márquez would be performing better and getting the best of exchanges en route to an incredible ninth-round knockout.[21][22][2] In January 2007, it was reported that infamous referee Laurence Cole, who is notoriously known for his rather questionable refereeing in high-class level bouts was fined and temporarily suspended after he was reported telling the bloodied Márquez (from a clash of heads) that he was winning on the scorecards and he insisted that Márquez should avoid retiring in the corner. Previously in the eighth round, Cole brought Márquez to the ringside medics in which the medics said that he was still fit. Conclusively, Cole was fined $500 and suspended from January 1 to July 1, in which he gave reasons to why he did that and apologized.[23]

Return to super featherweight

[edit]

WBO Asia Pacific super featherweight champion

[edit]

On 24 February 2007, Jaca would return to the Philippines to fight reining WBO Asia Pacific super featherweight champion Simson Butar Butar whom defeated Czar Amonsot for the title.[24] Jaca would be victorious and reign as new WBO Asia Pacific champion via seventh-round knockout.[25]

Jaca vs. Miyagi I and II

[edit]

On 25 August 2007, Jaca defended his WBO Asia Pacific crown against slugger and power puncher Ryuta Miyagi at the SM Mall of Asia IMAX theater in Pasay. In the first round, Jaca would be dropped twice by Miyagi, showing the lack of defence but he would be able to get back on his feet and knock Miyagi down too once in the first round. The bout would end in the second round as it was stopped on cuts and ruled as a technical decision, by boxing rules, a technical decision before completing four rounds would be immediately ruled as a technical draw.[26] They would have their second meeting in the same venue on 14 November 2007, billed as the "Battle of Manila II" in which, it would again abruptly end raw as the bout finished even faster, lasting only two minutes and thirty-six seconds before being ruled a technical decision due to a deep cut on Miyagi's forehead caused by a clash of heads. Prior to their second meeting, Jaca would be seemingly stripped or vacated of the WBO Asia Pacific title as he was unable to defend the title against Miyagi the second time.[27][28]

Lightweight

[edit]

Gatekeeper role

[edit]

On 15 March 2008, Jaca made his lightweight division debut against former world-title challenger 32–3–2, 15KOs Kengo Nagashima in a ten-rounder bout in Tokyo. Jaca would be able to drop Nagashima in the second round but he would lose via unanimous decision.[29][30] On 27 June 2008, Jaca faced former WBA super featherweight champion Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai in Pattaya, Thailand,[31] Jaca lost via sixth-round TKO, solidifying his gatekeeper role against higher-level oppositions.[32] On 22 October 2008, Jaca, who was reported pretty out of shaped, challenged Saddam Kietyongyuth for the WBC Asia lightweight title in Nonthaburi. Jaca would receive his third loss in a row as he was stopped in the second round.[33]

Super lightweight

[edit]

Return

[edit]

On 23 January 2010, after a long hiatus, Jaca returned to face 13–2–1 Indonesian Ramadhan Weriuw in Pasay,[34] Jaca would return to the winning column as he knocked Weriuw out in the fifth round.[35]

WBO Oriental super lightweight champion

[edit]

After facing decent to above decent oppositions in the Philippines, Jaca would compose a new record of 37–6–3, 21KOs before fighting former WBC FECARBOX champion and Mexican contender José Emilio Perea for the vacant WBO Oriental super lightweight championship in Cebu City on 25 May 2013. Jaca's opponent Perea and his trainer notably made confident statements, arguing that Perea will defeat Jaca in a manner.[36][37][38] Jaca would beat Perea via unanimous decision with the scores of 116–110 and 115–112 (x2), Jaca was deducted a point for an intentional headbutt in round 9 and was dropped once in the final round.[39][40] After the event, ALA Promotions, Jaca's stable complained that Perea have used epinephrine, an adrenaline-boosting drug at his corner, as shown in a video tape used by ALA Promotions to prove the allegations.[41]

Jaca vs. Iwabuchi

[edit]

On 28 February 2014, in his journey to continue his rise, Jaca faced Japanese contender Shinya Iwabuchi in Tokyo, Japan. Jaca dropped Iwabuchi once and was prevailing in points, however, in the seventh-round, he was hit by a hard punch and went groggy, prompting the referee to halt the bout. Ending Jaca's unbeaten streak since January 2010.[42][43]

Retirement

[edit]

On 16 March 2015, Jaca faced another Japanese contender Akihiro Kondo, Jaca once again dictated the pace and did more effort in the early rounds, however, he would be stopped in the fourth round.[44][45] On 7 August 2015, Jaca would unexpectedly have his last bout against 21–5, 16KOs Pablo Lugo Montiel in a "Pinoy Pride" boxing event, scheduled at the World Trade Centre in Dubai, UAE.[46][45] Jaca won via unanimous decision, he later mysteriously disappeared from the limelight and retired from boxing. In 2018, he explained that he retired to focus on his family.[47][2]

Ring name

[edit]

Jimrex Jaca, whose real name is Jemuel Divino was given the ring name "Jimrex Jaca" by his long-time manager Rex "Wakee" Salud, where Salud would fuse the Jem (to Jim) from Jemuel with Rex to complete the Jimrex first name, and Jaca to honour his trainer Anol Jaca, serving as Divino's ring last name.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

Jemuel Divino had a late wife named Brendalyn who was diagnosed with diabetes, and a has daughter born around 2004. After 7 August 2015, his last bout, Divino seemingly disappeared from the public. But in April 2018, SunStar Davao would rediscover Divino as a traffic enforcer around Talisay, Cebu, he admitted that he enjoyed being a traffic enforcer. Before so, he worked as a contractual driver for the government of San Fernando, Cebu. He later stated that he retired from boxing so he could take care of his family, mostly his ill wife who was then suffering from diabetes.[2]

He was once depicted in a Magpakailanman episode titled "Suntok sa Buwan na Pangarap", where Polo Ravales depicted him, it was written by Dode Cruz and directed by Argel Joseph, and it was released it 30 March 2006. It followed his story of being keen to follow his dreams to become a popular boxer at an early age, despite his mother's conerns.
