PANABO CITY (SEPT 14) ? Former Mindanao Professional Boxing Association (MinPROBA) champions Glenn ?The Rock? Porras and Dindong ?The Fantasy Warrior? Quinones both made their weights today for their much-awaited championship fight tomorrow (Sept. 15) at the Antonio R. Floirendo Gym here.
Porras, a former MinPROBA bantamweight champion, and Quinones, a former super flyweight title-holder, both tipped the scales at 121 lbs.
They will be fighting for the vacant MinPROBA super bantamweight title according to MinPROBA supervisor Lito delos Reyes.
?Sa tingin ko kaya ko siyang ma-knockout,? said Porras (29W-6L-0D, 17 KOs), who is also a former WBO Asia Pacific Youth and Philippine bantamweight champion.
Quinones, on the other hand, said that he is ready to fight Porras, who is now under the MB Northstar Boxing Promotion based in Panabo City.
?Naka-ensayo pud ko aning laban kay Porras,? said Quinones (6W-18L-1D, 4 KOs), a native of General Santos City.
The Porras-Quinones title-fight is the main event of ?The Redemption: Clash of Champions? boxing presentation of the MB Northstar Boxing Promotions.

Meanwhile, Michael ?Chieftain? Bravo also of MB Northstar submitted 114 lbs. while his opponent Armando Yee of Gensan had 115 lbs. for their battle for the vacant MinPROBA super flyweight crown.
?Maski wala ko kabalo sa style ni Yee pero akong paningkamutan na mudaog ug knockout,?(Although I don?t know the style of Yee I will try to win byknockout) said Bravo (11W-1L-0D, 4 KOs).
Yee (2W-10L-4D, 1 KO) is a substitute of Bravo?s original opponent Michael Camelion (8W-6L-1D), who got injured in training.

?Kailangan nako na mudaug by knockout para sa akong preparasyon sa akong depensa,? (I need to win by knockout for my preparation of the defense) said Cristobal.
