LERIO VS BROWNE MAY BE WBF FIGHT OF THE YEAR

WBF president Mick Croucher says Filipino Danilo Lerio's fight against undefeated Davey Browne in Ingleburn, Sydney, "could be the fight of the year in Australia." Croucher informed Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that the choice would be announced shortly.

Lerio lost a ten round unanimous decision in a battle for the vacant WBF International super bantamweight title to the talented Browne who reportedly stands 5?11 ?? and now has a record of 10-0-1 with 3 knockouts. Lerio who is listed as a super flyweight obviously moved up in weight to fight Browne who is himself listed as a featherweight. Lerio dropped to 5-5 with 2 knockouts.

Browne was coming off a unanimous eight round unanimous decision over Robert Oyan last November 17 while Lerio lost by a ninth round TKO in his last bout against Richard Olisa.
