Banal in his 5th round knockout of Big Yoo, the courageous Japanese fighter who carries the colors of South Korea as well as the huge crowd of some 30,000 fans who watched the fights at the Carlos P. Garcia stadium in Tagbilaran Coty, Bohol will have a chance to relive the excitement when ABS-CBN replays the fights on Studio 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
