Mafikeng, South Africa- At the capital of the Northwest Province some 260 kilometers west of Johannesberg, Team Domingo of the Philippines arrived at the Mmabatho Palms Hotel Casino Convention resort for the Official weigh-in of REDEMPTION. A boxing event put up by South Africa's premier boxing promotional outfit Branco Sports Productions headed by Branco Milenkovic.
Michael Domingo is scheduled to face IBF rated South African native Vusi "Marvelous" Malinga for a twelve round IBF Bantamweight Title Eliminator where the winner of which will have the chance to fight for the IBF world title next year.
Team Domingo composed of Michael Domingo, Head Trainer Edito Villamor, Assistant Trainer Jonh Rey Bunao and ALA Promotions Public Relations head Chad Canares together with the IBF officials and other South African boxers left Sandton, Joberg 15 minutes past 9AM and had a long and smooth ride to Mafikeng when after some tens of kilometers past the famous Cradle of Humankind in the Gauteng Province the vehicle they were riding experienced trouble.
The Chrystler van Team Domingo was in continued driving for almost an hour when the van could no longer push further forcing the group to stop and phone the other cars in the convoy to drive back for assistance. Luckily the other cars had some extra space to accommodate the team from the Philippines.
The scheduled 2 PM weigh-in started at 230 for the teams that packed the Hotel Conference room was waiting for the weighing scale to arrive.
Michael Domingo had to do a little work shedding 8 grams over the contracted 53.52 kg limit while Vusi Malinga made the weight easy. It was little trouble though as all Domingo needed was to do light stretching to make the weight. Official weight for both fighters were 53.34 kg.
