Cebu City, Philippines – Philippines and Mexico have a long history of ring wars, with a string of memorable battles and forgotten clashes throughout the years. Pinoy Pride 8 hopes to provide the former over the latter. And on paper at least, the eighth installment of the Pinoy Pride series looks promising as fighters from both sides are roaring to best the other, with each boxer looking forward to stop their bouts from going the distance.
20-year old undefeated super bantamweight prospect Genesis Servania (14-0, 5 KOs) of Bacaolod City will be facing his first foreign opponent in veteran Gerson Guerrero (34-8, 26 KOs), an old ring warrior whose list of battles include fights with Daniel Ponce de Leon, Mauricio Pastrana, and Alexander Bahktin. A three-time world title challenger, Guerrero?s experience is seemingly the Mexican?s most potent asset against the youthful Servania, who promised to teach the old-timer a lesson in knocking a fighter out.
