Mexican toughie Rafael ?Guerrerito? Reyes is bound to engage promising ALA Gym prospect Mark ?Magnifico? Magsayo, who is unbeaten in 10 fights with 8 knockouts to his name, in a slugfest when they clash in ?Pinoy Pride XXXI? at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu on July 4.
Magsayo who looked sharp in training at the ALA Gym in Balete Drive, Quezon City last week is now sparring with five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire in Cebu as Donaire himself prepares for his showdown with Frenchman Anthony Settoul on July 17 in Macau.
The 24 year old Reyes is a typical Mexican warrior who comes to fight and has a record of 12 knockouts in 16 wins with four losses.
In his last fight on March 30, 2015 Reyes scored a rousing 2nd round knockout over Reyes Lopez but in what is a typical roller coaster ride, retired in the 4th round against undefeated Carlos Diaz Ramirez who dropped Reyes in the 3rd round with a vicious uppercut. Ramirez was undefeated in 16 fights with 9 knockouts.
However, before losing by a 6th round TKO to undefeated Eduardo Ramirez (10-0, 4 KO?s) on September 20, 2014, Reyes hammered Rodolfo Hernandez into submission, winning by a 2nd round TKO on September 6, 2014.
With Magsayo?s desire to put on a show, fight fans can expect fireworks as Reyes isn?t the kind of fighter who will back down no matter who the opponent is.
