GUADALAJARA, MEXICO -- "Golpes de Poder" protagonists Ulises 'Archi' Solis of Guadalajara and Bert Batawang of the Philippines guested TV and Radio shows throughout the day to promote their Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) IBF minifly world title fight at the Auditorio Benito Juarez here.
Batawang, accompanied by his manager Samson Gello-ani and matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz who acted as interpreter, and Guadalajara's fair-haired boy Archi Solis, guested the Televisa morning show as each combatant promised their television audience individual victory come Saturday night. Televisa is Guadalajara's biggest TV station.
In the afternoon, Solis and Batawang guested at the Guadalajara Radio Station Estadio W 1190 AM and went back to Televisa in the evening for Televisa's prime time show.
Promoter Guillermo 'Brito' Rodriguez of Zanfer Promotions said he is expecting 5,000 people or more to watch the fight on Saturday at the Auditorio Benito Juarez. TV Azteca will cover the fight live and will beam it all over Mexico.
Solis appeared highly confident, relaxed and highly talkative during the shows telling his interviewers that Batawang will be his second Filipino victim. Batawang appeared cool and unintimidated. A member of Team Solis later confided to
PhilBoxing that Batawang's calmness concerned Solis.

Batawang, for his part, said that Saturday's fight is the conclusion of his ordeal since the August 11 World Cup in
Sacramento where he was originally calendared to fight and later the many postponements of the fight against Solis which he said "has finally come into fruition and I am confident that once I hit him anywhere, he will go down."
The weighin is scheduled at 1 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, at the Restaurante Viejo Oeste in downtown Guadalajara.
