CEBU CITY -- Yasner Talavera of Nicaragua, Eduardo 'Fierita' Montoya and Tony Rodriguez of Mexico arrived Tuesday in Cebu ahead of their ring appointments with local undefeated rising stars 'Prince' Albert Pagara, Mark 'Magnifico' Magsayo and Kevin Jake Cataraja respectively on Saturday at the Waterfront Hotel & Casino.
The three Latinos went to the SM City Cebu activity center at 5:00 p.m. for a short workout in front of local fans and didn't show any sign of fatigue from their long air travel coming in and even appeared excited to pose with local fans.
Talavera, Montoya and Rodriguez will face the media by themselves Wednesday noon at St. Mark's Hotel before they will come face to face with their local rivals Thursday noon in the event's final press conference at the Waterfront Hotel & Casino.
Also appearing on Thursday's big press conference are the trio of up and coming ALA prospects -- Melvin Jerusalem, Jeo Santisima and Elmo Traya -- who will likewise come face to face with their veteran opponents, former world champion Florante Condes, Marco Demecillo and Romeo Jakosalem respectively.
The official weigh-in will be on Friday noon at the Robinson's Galleria Atrium.
