BANAL, AMONSOT WEIGH-IN TODAY IN TAGBILARAN
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Fri, 30 Jan 2009

Comebacking ALA Boys AJ 'Bazooka' Banal and Czar Amonsot take to the scales today along with their respective foes for tomorrow's "They Are Back" boxing spectacle at the Island City Mall carpark in beautiful Tagbilaran City.
Tagbilaran City Mayor Dan Neri Lim, who is hosting the two fighters' return to the ring, had earlier indicated that he will continue to support the two fighters no matter what, and has remained hopeful that the duo can still dish it out with any of the world's best.
Banal will take on Indonesian Nouldy Manakane in a 10-round showdown which will be his first outing following a failed attempt at the WBA superfly title against Panama's Rafael Concepcion.
Amonsot, meanwhile, will take on Zoel Fidal after more than a year of lay-off following a bout with Australian Michael Katsidis, who incidentally is also fighting tomorrow in Cebu City.
ALA trainer Edito Villamor has indicated that his two wards have not lost faith and focus, and had done their shair in the gym to keep themselves fit for tomorrow's battles.
