WEIGHTS FROM BEIJING: MAMA 111.3 LBS, UTAIDA 111.1 LBS

WBO Oriental Youth Flyweight Champion Jayson Mama (W11 KO6 L0 D0) tipped in the scales at 111.3 pounds while IBF Pan Pacific Flyweight Champion Teeraphong Utaida (W38 KO 21 L6 D1) came in at 111.1 pounds in preparation of their fight tomorrow afternoon at Beijing, China. The fighters will compete in the finals of IBF Silkroad Tournament to be held in the said country.

Mama is the clear underdog in going against the veteran Utaida. For Sanman CEO Jim Claude Manangquil,, ?Records are nothing in fights. Battles are won in the training camp. It?s on how hard you work for your game. I have seen Mama train. He is determined to take home the belt and he will?, Manangquil said.

For Jayson Mama, ?This is a great opportunity to showcase my talent. I am fighting a durable veteran. I am the newbie here but I will prove to everyone that I am the real thing. My advantage is youth. I am younger and hungrier. Now is my time?, Mama said.
