By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007

Both Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista and Alex John 'Bazooka' Banal have continued putting in the hard work at the Wilfredo Gomez Gym in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico as they rev up for their May 5 assignments underneath the titanic Oscar De la Hoya-Floyd Mayweather encounter at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
According to trainer Edito 'Ala' Villamor, both Bautista and Banal have been showing good form in their sparring sessions, and so far, the two unbeaten warriors have been exhibiting the work ethics necessary to make good in the world class level.
Bautista and Banal are training under the renowned ring tactician Freddie Roach, and the duo are expected to hit Vegas along with De la Hoya.
