PhilBoxing.com




BANGKOK, Thaiand -- The Filipino "Terminator" Rimar Metuda (15-6-1, 9 KO's) who hails from the beautiful sun-bathed Filipino Island-Province of Caminguin can't wait to challenge unbeaten 18-year-old WBA Asia Super Lightweight Champion Phoobadin Yoohanngoh (14-0, 9 KO's) in a clash of titans scheduled for Saturday, September 3 at the plush SpacePlus Night Club, RCA Plaza, in Bangkok, Kingdom of Thailand.

The popular, hard-swinging Thai champ Phoobadin (a.k.a. Sangarthit Looksaikongdin) - who comes from a large family of 15 children, all of them, including father, in the boxing world - has victimized and stopped his last 5 opponents, including Cebuano fighter Elmo "Bisdak" Traya (12-4, 8 KO's) of Mandaue, whom the rough Thai stopped in just two frames.

Thirsty for more, Phoobadin now wants the head of The Caminguin warrior called “The Terminator”.

Will he get it?

Or is the Thai on for the biggest rock ‘n roll surprise of his life?

Because The “Terminator” Rimar Metuda wants to follow up on the recent fantastic successes of Filipino fighters of the Highland Boxing Team in Thailand, including the awesome wins of Pinoy warriors Adrian Lerasan, John Michael Zulueta and Herlan Gomez.

The "Phoobadin vs Metuda" 10-rounder main event clash for the WBA Asia Super Lightweight strap will air live on Thailand's Workpoint TV Channel 23 at 2:00 PM Thailand Time (UTC + 7).

Boxing Fans outside Thailand may watch the show live for free from the official website of Workpoint TV. Link here:
