EDWARD ?The Nightmare? Mansito of Iligan City will also be fighting against another Mexican on February 20 in the undercard of the Pedro Guevarra-Jether Oliva title-fight at the Lobodome in Mazatlan, Mexico.
Mansito (13 wins, 3 loss, 2 draws, 7 Kos) will face Guevarra?s younger brother Alberto ?Metro? Guevarra (23W-2L-0D-9KO) in the 10-round main supporting bout.
Mansito, 23, will be making his third outing in Mexico. In his first outing, Mansito lost to Mexican Rey Vargas by a unanimous decision last May 23, 2015 at the Centro de Espectaculos del Recinto Ferial in Metepec, Mexico.
Mansito then bowed to another Mexican Tomas Rojas by a technical knockout in their battle for the vacant WBC Continental Americas featherweight crown last October 17, 2015 in Veracruz, Mexico.
?Mansito is now really hungry for a victory,? said matchmaker Ronald Jerez.
The younger Guevarra, 25, is a former World Boxing Council International Silver bantamweight champion.
He fought but lost to Shinsuke Yamanaka of Japan for the WBC world bantamweight title in Tokyo last Nov. 10, 2013.
Guevarra beat Filipino boxer Rolando Magbanua by a technical knockout at the Auditorio Municipal de Cabo, San Lucas in Baja California Sur, Mexico last October 10, 2015.
He previously scored a split decision against Arturo Santos Reyes last December 5.
Oliva (23W-4L-2D-11Kos) and former WBC world light flyweight champion Guevarra (26W-2L-1D-17Kos) will be fighting for the WBC International flyweight title (112 lbs.).
The fights are promoted by the Prensa Promociones del Pueblo. ? LITO DELOS REYES
