Highly touted brothers Giemel and Arvin Magramo will see action Saturday, October 23, in a Elorde "Boxing Kontra Droga" double main event card at the Elorde Sports Center in Paranaque City with regional titles at stake.
Giemel (24-2-0, 20KOs) will face power puncher JayR Raquinel (12-1-1, 9KOs) of Negros Occidental for the vacant OPBF Flyweight title while younger brother Arvin (12-1-1, 8KOs) will trade leathers with Jerry Francisco (9-1-0, 2KOs) of General Santos City for the vacant WBO Light Flyweight title.
Giemel looks to bounce back from his world title defeat against Junto Nakatani of Japan in November last year while Arvin aims to land a world ranking after stopping his last three opponents.
The brothers however will have their hands full against equally hungry and strong opponents. Raquinel, Giemel's opponent, was coming from two stoppage wins against veterans Takuya Kogawa of Japan and Jack Amisa of Indonesia while Francisco of Sanman stable, Arvin's opponent, has only one loss in 10 fights.
The card is the first boxing promotion to be held in Metro Manila where the Philippines' strictest restrictions had been in effect since the beginning of the Pandemic.
Fighting on the undercard are the following:
Juan Miguel Elorde vs Aroel Romasasa, 6 rounds, 124 lbs.
Jonathan Taconing vs Albert Alcoy, 6 rounds, 116 lbs.
Wilbert Berondo vs Philip Cuerdo, 6 rounds, 116 lbs.
Dionaldo Diocos vs Fernan Agencia, 6 rounds, 116 lbs.
