Dennis Gasgonia, ABS-CBN News</figcaption></figure></div>MAGALLANES, Cavite—Expect an improved version of Jerwin Ancajas when he returns to the boxing ring on September 29 in California (September 30, Manila time).Team Ancajas went back to the drawing board after the world junior bantamweight champion had a difficult time against the awkward fighting style of Jonas Sultan in May.Ancajas beat Sultan by a wide margin on points, but fight fans who became accustomed to the champion&#x27;s stoppage victories over Teiru Kinoshita, Jamie Conlan and Israel Gonzalez were anticipating another knockout. Boxing coach Joven Jimenez acknowledged that Ancajas lacked a few things during his bout against Sultan.&quot;Wala nu&#x27;ng nakaraan &#x27;yung explosiveness niya,&quot; said Ancajas&#x27; boxer-manager. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/29/18/boxing-jerwin-ancajas-title-defense-moved-to-golden-state-warriors-home-arena">READ: Jerwin Ancajas’ title defense moved to Golden State Warriors’ home arena</a></li></ul>&quot;So iyon ang gusto naming maipakita niya ngayon. &#x27;Yung aggressiveness niya nu&#x27;ng nakaraan kulang din.&quot;Ancajas is scheduled to make his sixth title defense of his world junior bantamweight crown against Alejandro Santiago Barrios at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.For this particular bout, Team Ancajas made changes in his training, particularly his conditioning work.&quot;Sa training program din niya may adjustments, &#x27;yung kundisyon ng katawan niya tinitignan din natin,&quot; said Jimenez. &quot;Para ang explosiveness niya lumabas.&quot;At 5-foot-2 Santiago is smaller compared to Ancajas. But coach Jimenez said the Tijuana native is a &quot;complete boxer.&quot;&quot;P&#x27;wede kasi siya sa loob at labas. Hindi siya pasok ng pasok lang. So mahirap din na kalaban &#x27;yun kasi mahirap din siyang tamaan,&quot; said Jimenez.&quot;Beterano na rin sa mga international na laban, hindi siya pwedeng gulatin lang.&quot;<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
