In the light flyweight co-feature, young Butuan warrior Stephen Intino (2-1-1, 0 KO's) squares off for a third time nemesis Jerry Tabago (1-4, 0 KO's) of Koronadal in a six-rounder non-stop action clash. 
Stephen Intino. The two men have already fought two wars, the last one a close split decision last October, for which this rematch rumble is absolutely necessary.
