Ex-RP champ Lear sees action tonight
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Thu, 08 Dec 2005
Former Philippine bantam champ Johnny Lear makes another step towards his quest for yet another title when he takes on Jun Magsipoc in an 8-round match tonight at the Mines Elementary School grounds in Quezon City.
Lear, who temporarily stopped boxing only to resurface as a trainer and eventually announced his comeback, has been rated no. 7 by the GAB in its latest bantam rankings following his 6-round win over fellow ex-champ Joel Bauya last September 24 in Manila.
The Lear-Magsipoc showdown will serve as the chief support of the 6-bout card presented by Marty Elorde, which headlines WBO Asia Pacific minimumweight champ Benjie Sorolla in a 10-round non-title duel with Kidapawan's Carlo Besares.
The other bouts pit Rodel Tejares versus Michael Rodriguez; Ryan Bito versus Roy Jones Jr; Lino Pongan versus Joebar Damosmog; and Frankie Escaner versus Michael Landiro.
