Undefeated Filipino fighter Rey ‘Boom Boom’ Bautista checked in at 118 3/4 lbs while opponent Gerardo Espinoza of Mexico came in at 120 lbs hours ago at the official weigh-in ahead of their bout tomorrow at the Sycuan Resort and Casino in El Cajon, California.
The 19-year-old Bautista, fighting in the US for the third time, hopes to win impressively as he hopes to get a crack at the WBO bantam title.
Calling the shots for the power-punching Bautista in tomorrow’s fight are trainer Freddie Roach and Filipino trainer Edito ‘Ala’ Villamor. Business agent Michael Koncz will also join the team.
Well-loved Cebu sportsman Tony Aldeguer, who manages Bautista, will also be at ringside.
