DOMINGO, VORAPIN EASILY MAKE WEIGHT! By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Sat, 13 Sep 2008   CEBU CITY--Unlike Joan Guzman of the Dominican Republic who failed to make weight today in Mississippi, both WBO Oriental bantam king Michael Domingo and WBO no. 3 Ratanachai Sor Vorapin easily made the 118-lb bantamweight limit during official weigh-in held today at the Cebu Grand Hotel here. GAB Commissioner Angel Bautista, assisted by Rolando Mendoza and Tony Comia, supervised today's weigh-in as well as the ensuing rules briefing for the officials who will work tomorrow's highly-anticipated 12-round rumble at the New Cebu Coliseum. After tipping at exactly 118 lbs, both Domingo and Vorapin then posed for the media, showing their abdominal six-packs that had the crowd predicting a stretched out war tomorrow. The rest of the weights: Ex-WBA champ Somsak Sitchatchawal--132.75 lbs Joel de la Cruz--132 lbs Geremie Tabas-tabas--111.5 lbs Usanakorn Kokietgym--111.5 lbs Amor Tino--127.5 lbs Roland Teofilo--127.5 lbs Marvin Sonsona--112.75 lbs John Naimes--111 lbs Julius Alcos--107.75 lbs Nelson Llanos--107.75 lbs Top photo: WBO Bantamweight Oriental Champion Michael Domingo (L) of the Philippines and Thailand's Ratanachai Sor Vorapin tipped the scales to the bantamweight limit today at the Cebu Grand Hotel paving the way for their highly anticipated fight tomorrow at the Cebu Coliseum in Cebu City.
