CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Eusebio Baluarte of Valencia, Bukidnon came in at 138 lbs while Thailand's Yai Sithsaithong stepped in at 139 lbs as both fighters made weight during official weigh-in moments ago here in advance of their WBO Asia Pacific Youth junior welterweight championship at the MPSC Gym here.
The 11-bout card, aptly dubbed "Rumble in Mis-Or: First Step to Glory", starts at 7PM, according to Lazarito.
WBO Asia Pacific chairman Leon Panoncillo supervised the weigh-in graced by Misamis Oriental governor Oscar Moreno and promoter Leonil Lazarito who was accompanied by lovely daughter Khristine Kaye.
Both Baluarte and Sithsaithong vowed to give fans their money's worth, telling a horde of mediamen that they will give all their best in tomorrow night's slambang event.
The chief support pits Eric Barcelona against Phil Angcamor for the PBF bantamweight championship.
Aside from the main bout, Mark Anthony Geraldo, a fighter from Kibawe, Bukidnon, is the fighter to watch according to Lazarito.
