Araneta successfully scaled-in at 110 pounds around 12 noon today Friday. But as of 4:30 PM "The Lizard" hasn't shown-up yet, being waited for weight check at the GAB Cebu office by GAB officials Lando Mendoza and Glen Sonido Agena. Will the Lizard show up?
The 23 year-old Christian Araneta, a promising and thrilling fighter, needs his stay-busy fight to keep his conditions in tip-top form, as well as his world rankings in check.
Currently, Araneta is ranked as WBA # 9, WBC # 10, and WBO # 11.
The card tomorrow Saturday (Dec 22) at Robinsons Galleria is sanctioned by the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) Cebu Regional Extension Office headed by Arlene M. Olondriz with the assistance of Rolando "Lando" Mendoza and Glenn Sonido Agena.
