Three Filipino prospects will take on Mexican fighters on December 13 in what promises to be another entertaining chapter in the boxing rivalry between the two nations.
The match between Michael Fare?as of the Pe?alosa boxing stable and Jesus Rios of Guasave will serve as the main event of the fight card billed as ?First Blood?, which will be held at the Solaire Resort and Casino.
This card is presented by the combined efforts of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, businessman-sportsman Anson Tiu Co and promoter and former two division world champion Gerry Pe?alosa, The trio form the MAG Pacman International Boxing Promotions and this will be their inaugural offering.
Fare?as (36W-4L-4D, 28 KO?s) stopped Gerardo Zayas of Mexico in one round last April and beat Thai Kosol Sor Vorapin by second round knockout last October in Makati City. Rios (26W-4L-1D, 20 KO?s) has won by TKO in his last two bouts against Oscar Olivas and Waldo Vela.
Dodie Boy Pe?alosa,Jr (11-0, 11KO?s) will try to keep his unblemished record when he takes on Alem Robles(6-3-2, 2KO?s) of Los Mochis.
Dodie Boy Jr?s last fight was in Macau last April where he got off the canvas in the opening round to stop Nimithra Sithsaithong of Thailand in the third.
Richard ?The Beast? Pumicpic (13W-5L-2D, 4 KO?s) of Zamboanga del Norte, who recently won the WBC Youth Silver bantamweight title, will fight Luis Lugo (15-4-2, 11KO?s), also from Los Mochis.
