Cebu City ? Boxing fans gathered around the Events Center of SM Cebu to watch Mexican boxers Miguel Angel Mendoza and Marcos Cardenas during their public workout Wednesday afternoon.
Cardenas and Mendoza took turns shadow boxing on stage as the appreciative crowd sized them up and were visibly impressed when their unbeaten records were announced. Providing added entertainment were the dance numbers provided by the sexy KO girls. Fans also got a chance to win free tickets during the Q and A portion of the event.
The two boxers gamely posed for pictures with the fans after their workout. The unbeaten Mendoza, who has scored knockouts in all of his 17 wins with only one escaping with a draw, will face Rey ?BoomBoom? Bautista (31W-2L, 23 KO?s) of the ALA gym for the IBF International featherweight title at the Hoops Dome in Lapulapu City. This will be Bautista?s first defense of the title he won from another Mexican, Heriberto Ruiz, last June by seventh round technical decision.
Cardenas (19W-0L-1D, 12 KO?s) will face ALA boxer Genesis Servania (15W-0L, 5 KO's), in a battle of two young unbeaten prospects.
Also set to see action are OPBF Flyweight champion Rocky Fuentes who will fight Thailand?s Lookdiaw Tor Buamas in a non-title bout and Philippine Jr.welterweight champion Romeo Jakosalem who will vie for the vacant OPBF Jr.welterweight title against Pan Soo Kim of South Korea.
