More than 15 teams will see action in the Luzon Preliminary of the 2018 PSC-Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Cup slated January 27 and 28 at the Sorsogon National High School in Sorsogon City.

Among the early birds are Baguio, Mandaluyong, Tuguegarao, Iriga, Camarines Sur and host Sorsogon Province.

Biboy Seneta (46 kg.), Nikki Boy Oladive (48 kg.), Reymart Gomez (52 kg.), Donaltd Laurejas (60 kg.) and Glenn Duman-ag (49 kg.) with bronze medal winner Dave Asi Laurejas (50 kg.). ?I think Mandaluyong is the team to beat,? said veteran coach Roberto Bubuli of Team Camarines Sur (CamSur) of Gov. Migs Villafuerte. Camsur, however, is composed of the province?s team B since its team A is already set to see action in the DepEd?s Palarong Bicol slated next month. ?Pero lalaban itong mga bata namin,? said Bubuli, also an assistant of coach Buboy Rodriguez in the Manny Pacquiao boxing team.
