LAGAWE, Ifugao -- Martin and Lumoly make weight. Both, Filipino "Wonder Boy" Carl Jammes Martin as well as George Lumoly of Jakarta, Indonesia, tipped the scales at 117 pounds ahead of their hot 12-round rumble for the vacant WBA Asia Bantamweight Title Thursday afternoon (June 21) at Don Bosco Gym here in the Town of Legawe in the Philippines' northern province of Ifugao, a land gifted with its millennial Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The quiet, yet lethal 19-year-old Martin comes from victimizing Tanzanian Hashimu Zuberi (14-3, 4 KO's) in a two-stanza TKO victory last April here in Lagawe, Ifugao; while the Indonesian Lumoly, 26, is fresh from a round 3 knockout win over his compatriot Dion Rote a few weeks ago in the Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.
