OLIVA AND OCON MAKE WEIGHT FOR WBO ORIENTAL TITLE BOUT
By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Thu, 12 May 2011

San Francisco, Southern Leyte ? Undefeated prospects Jether Oliva (16W-0L, 11 KO?s) of the ABA Boxing gym and Fernando Ocon (7W-0L, 1 KO)of RWS Stable both weighed in at 104 lbs during the official weigh-in held at the San Francisco multi-purpose gym Thursday noon. They will fight for the vacant WBO Oriental Miniflyweight title Friday night. This will also be the first professional fight card held in this municipality.
What makes this card more interesting is the return of world title challenger Ciso ?Kid Terrible? Morales (122.5 lbs), who is all set to redeem himself after suffering his first career loss to Fernando Montiel last 2010 in Las Vegas. He will face Eman Labanza (122.5 lbs) in a ten rounder.
Former WBO Intercontinental superbantamweight champ Ramie Laput (121 lbs) of the ABA Boxing Gym will fight Rene Bestudio (122 lbs) in another ten round scrap. Laput (41W-4L, 19 KO?s) has won three straight fights since losing to Zsolt Bedak by seventh round KO in Austria last December 2009. Laput scored a big win at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City last October when he outpointed Larry Canillas of the ALA Gym.
