The Philippines' "Golden Boy" of boxing will fight in the main event on September 12 in Sabang gymnasium, Danao City, Cebu.
The undefeated fighter from the Omega Boxing Gym in Cebu City will battle ring veteran Jason Egera of Siaton, Negros Oriental for ten rounds. He will be the twenty-two year old Tepora's second toughest opponent to date. The 14-0 (10 KO's) southpaw defeated former PABA light flyweight and globetrotter Marvin Tampus via TKO in the first round two bouts prior.
Egera, a veteran of thirty-five bouts under his belt and has fought former world champions Marvin Sonsona and Drian Francisco, world title challengers Roli Gasca and Michael Farenas and contenders Jerwin Ancajas, Melvin Gumban, Niel John Tabanao and Jundy Maraon. For his part, the former Philippine boxing team mainstay will put his vast amateur background into play to outwit the battle-scarred veteran in a one hundred twenty-two pound clash.
Another intriguing bout that is sure to catch the attention of fight fans is a "puncher against KO artist" matchup. This is likely the scenario as 9-0 (8 KO's) Christian Araneta battles once-beaten Jessie Espinas, who has seven stoppages in eleven outings in a one hundred eight pound duel.
Experience versus experience theme will be written all over the place as a pair of veterans in Rodel Wenceslao and Weng Haya take centerstage. Wenceslao of Phil-Aust Boxing Club and former Buhay Boksingero super featherweight runner-up will fight Haya in a lightweight bout for ten rounds. Haya is best known for his 2011 hotly-contested bout with former world champion Orlando "Siri" Salido. In that fight, he floored the future champion twice in rounds three and four only to lose via TKO in the eight round. The rest of the undercard bouts will feature Clyde Azarcon of Big Yellow Boxing Gym against Junje Bautista, Royder Lloyd "RR" Borbon against Ryan Culentas of 10,000 BC Boxing Stable and Mar Jun Pantilgan versus Mac Mac Baribar.
