In the main event, unbeaten 20-year-old slugger Harmonito Dela Torre of Gensan will battle veteran Indonesian southpaw Isack Junior (22-5-2, 8 KO's) for the interim World Boxing Federation (WBF) super featherweight (130 lbs) title (top photo). The taller Harmonito Dela Torre (13-0, 8 KO's) scaled in at 129 lbs during weigh-in today, while the Indonesian, a former WBO Asia Pacific champ, made 128 lbs for Saturday night's "Battle of the Pentagon." In the co-main event, American Danny McDermott of Jersey City, New Jersey, weighed-in at 140 lbs while Filipino Ronnel Esparas of Samar tipped the scales at 145 lbs for their clash for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council Silver Jr. Welterweight (140 lbs) belt.
