Jaca and Melindo started the activity doing warm ups, skipping rope then hitting the punch mitts with trainers Edmund and Edito Villamor. Bautista joined them a few minutes later as they showcased their footwork and crisp combinations.
In between the workouts, fans were given free tickets to the fight as well as tickets to the Maya Mexican Restaurant, one of the sponsors for the blockbuster boxing event. The boxers said they were ready to face their opponents when they were interviewed on stage.
Bautista said that he doesn?t care about his opponents fighting style but he has prepared well and guarantees a win, either by points or by knockout.

Fans got a chance to have a photo session with the three boxers after the workout.
