? Garcia overweight
? Magbanua to fight Las Pinas
? Villanueva has new opponent
DAVAO CITY ? Former International Boxing Organization (IBO) world super flyweight champion Edrin ?The Sting? Dapudong and his opponent former Pan Asia Boxing Association (PABA) flyweight king Richard Garcia submitted contrasting weights today (June 25) for their much-awaited 10-rounder bout tomorrow night at the Almendras gym.
Dapudong tipped the scales at 118 pounds while Garcia was 121 lbs.
?Garcia will now use a pair of heavier gloves of 10 ounce instead of the regular 8 ounce against Dapudong?, said Games and Amusements Board Davao sports and games officer John Kenneth Improso.

Magbanua (25 wins, 17 Kos, 2 loses) was supposedly scheduled to fight former Philippine Boxing Federation champion Jimmy ?Xcon Tirador? Aducal, who suffered an injury during his training in Manila.
?Nagpalit sila ng kalaban dahil mas mabigat itong si Quinones at si Las Pinas ay 115 lamang,? explained Improso.
