Diale who has a record of 24-9-3 with 11 knockouts is coming off a big win against previously unbeaten youngster Renerio Arizala whose corner headed by Jonathan Penalosa decided to throw in the towel in the 4th round to save the 20 year old from further punishment although up to the time of the TKO he had fought well in a fight card in Taal, Batangas last October 4. Buca who is a recognized toughie with a record of 8 knockouts in 8 wins with only one loss is also coming off a TKO win after he stopped Raymond Dayham in the 8th round last June 28. Diale was half-a-pound over the limit while Buca was two pounds over.
