SGG Promotions and KOKIETGYM of Thailand will have another blockbuster international boxing card in the City of Naga, Cebu this July 31 featuring the rematch between former WBO Oriental Bantamweight titlist Jason Egera and Petch Kokietgym of Thailand.
Last May, Egera handed Kokietgym his first career loss in a fight held at the Cebu Coliseum by split decision. The margin was two points either way on the three judges scorecards in the eight round contest. That fight was in the undercard of the infamous Ramie Laput – Ratanachai Sor Vorapin WBO Intercontinental superbantamweight title bout where Vorapin was disqualified for throwing a round house kick.
Now, Egera (11W (5 KO''S) - 3L) and Kokietgym (7W-1L) will fight for twelve rounds for the vacant WBO Oriental Superflyweight title.
The fight card also features hard hitting superfeatherweight Rey Labao against Jesus Singwancha in a eight round encounter. Labao (17W – 1L with 12KO's) fought twice in Cebu last year, winning over Daryl Pucdol by 4th round TKO in Talisay City and Leonardo Doronio by 10 round split decision in Mandaue City. Another Philippines vs Thailand match-up will be Federico Catubay vs Pramunsak Ponsuwan in another eight round contest.
Two South Koreans will also be fighting in the undercard. Hyung Joo Yum will face Arnel Dunal of Cebu City while Jonghwa Lee will see action against a still be to named opponent.
There will be a total of ten bouts in what promises to be an exciting fight card at the Naga Sports Gym. Ticket prices are affordable: Ringside - P 100.00 * Upperbox - P 50.00 * Gen. Adm. - P 30.00.
