Tabugon tipped the scales at 115 lbs. while Purisima only submitted 112 lbs. during official weigh-in held at Jams Restaurant In General Santos City.

?There catch weight, however, is from 114-115. Maliit lang talaga si Purisima,? said promoter Jim Claude Manangquil of Sanman Promotions.

The official weigh-in was conducted by Kenneth Improso of the Games and Amusements Board Davao field office.

The Tabugon-Purisima 10-rounder is the main event of the 1st Mayor Dibu Tuan ?Yanig sa T?boli? boxing card to be presented by the Sanman Promotions in coordination with the municipality of T?boli.
