Alta is currently rated among the top three Filipino super welterweight (154 lbs) fighters, along with southpaws Cebu's Jimrex Jaca (34-6-3, 19KOs) and Bacolod's "Mighty" Mark Melligen (21-3, 14KOs). On the other corner of Marlon Alta will be fight veteran Dondon Lapuz who comes into this rumble from a 10-rounds unanimous desicion victory over Elmer Colve in Maranding, Lanao del Norte last July. Impressively, the durable Lapuz will be making his 50th professional fight. "It's going to be an interesting title fight between the young boxer Alta against the fearless and experienced warrior Lapuz", said Elorde. "Alta performed very good in his last fight by knocking out tough Benedict Fontines in round 12, while Dondon Lapuz is focused in scoring a big win," commented the well-known promoter "Bebot" Elorde during a dinner with Philboxing reporters last Saturday night in Malate, Metro Manila.
