CEBU CITY--The official weigh-in for this Saturday's "Road to Redemption" card at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel takes place at 12 noon today also at the hotel.
The main event pits Bobby Pacquiao in a 12-round showdown with Thailand's Decho Bankluaygym for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific lightweight title, which was previously held by Australia's Michael Katsidis.
"Bobby Pacquiao will be going up against a very determined Decho Bankluaygym. The road to redemption won't be an easy one," says WBO Asia Pacific chairman Leon Panoncillo, who arrived here today from Bangkok to supervise the main event.
The co-feature will showcase OPBF bantam champ Rolly (Lunas)Matsushita against Thailand's Kaohan Klongphajon, while Manny Pacquiao's sparmate Mexican David Rodela also sees action against dangerous Filipino Arnel Porras.
The younger Pacquiao is hoping to bounce back from a first-round knockout defeat at the hands of Mexican Urbano Antillon last March in Las Vegas.
The event is presented by Manny Pacquiao's MP Promotions in association with Rex 'Wakee' Salud's RWS International.
Other undercard bouts: Darryl Pucdol vs Jaime Barcelona, Jetli Purisima vs Roilo Golez and Ryan Tampus vs Ghing Daculiat.
Marlon Alta takes on William Jorge; Ryan Tampus battles Ging Dacoliat; and Israel Sapo Salud goes up against Mark Anthony Geraldo.
