TAMPOS BATTLES RAPADA TODAY
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Sat, 01 Mar 2008

Ex-PABA junior flyweight champ Marvin Tampos headlines a four-bout pro card supported by Luigi Quisumbing and Auto Solution's Sunriser Motocycles at the Mandaue City Plaza Square today when he faces veteran Eric Rapada in the ten-round main event.
Tampos is hoping to re-energize his career following losses abroad, the latest of which was when he bowed out to Chachai Sasakul recently in Thailand.
Also in the card is the 8-round showdown between Darryl Pucdol of Wakee Salud Stable against John Clifford Ranan of Bohol.
The event is being promoted by Rex 'Wakee' Salud.
Jayson Siaton also takes on John Mark Ranan, while Neptalie Mamerto goes up against Jayson Canoy in the curtain-raiser.
Fourteen amateur bouts precede the professional tiffs, said matchmaker Willy Flores.
