MANDAUE CITY - Melvin Gumban (13W-0L, 6 KO?s) will battle tough Fernando ?Batang Bato? Ocon (10W-4L, 2 KO?s) in the ten round main event of the ALA-Cobra ?Tunay na Lakas? fight card on Saturday May 4 at the Mandaue City Plaza.
Gumban, an up and coming prospect fighting out of the ALA Gym, weighed in at 116 lbs while Ocon, from the RWS Gym, stepped on the scales at 115.5 lbs during the official weigh-in held Friday at the Pacific Mall in Mandaue City supervised by Rolando Mendoza and Glen Agena of GAB-Cebu.
Three of Gumban?s last five fights ended by the short route but Ocon has never been knocked out. The 22 year old Ocon lost on points in three regional fights abroad last year. The 23 year old Gumban beat Marjun Tabamo by unanimous decision in Bohol last February.
