OMEGA'S #KUMBATI 2: "WAR DOG" MANGUBAT 125.7 LBS, "THE SILENCER" BACONAJE 125.1 LBS FOR WBC ASIA BELT @ PARKMALL CEBU


PhilBoxing.com




CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Weights OK for Omega's #Kumbati2 @ Parkmall Cebu! Unbeaten hard-hitting "War Dog" Tomjune Mangubat (10-0-1, 9 KO's) weighed-in at 125.7 pounds, while tough Iloilo warrior "The Silencer" Arnel Baconaje (10-3, 8 KO's) came in at a nearby 125.1 lbs for their hot clash for the vacant WBC Asia Silver Featherweight title in the main event of Omega Boxing Promotions #Kumabti2 on Saturday, April 5, at Parkmall Mandaue in the Queen City of the South, Cebu.

For this title combat against the War Dog Mangubat, Arnel Baconaje spent five months of hard training in Thailand as sparring partner of WBC Super Flyweight world champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, said his coach Warren Jaro during presscon #Kumbati2 presscon today.

"He has been training hard. Baconaje is in top shape. And he learned much sparring daily with a big puncher world champion as Sor Rungvisai."

"I did not know that," said the Mangubat's trainer Julius Erving Junco of the Omega Gym.

"Pero some times sparring too hard with a brutal puncher like Sor Rungvisai could hurt instead of help. We don't know. We will have to find out," said the popular young coach Junco who also trains a number of promising Omega fighters including world-ranked Christian Araneta.

At the end of the battle, who will emerge victorious in this good match-up, the War Dog Mangubat who prepared for combat here in Cebu, or The Silencer Baconaje who trained hard in Thailand?
