World-ranked Filipino Joe "The Joe Breaker" Noynay of Bogo, northern Cebu, made 129.7 Lbs. while strong hard-punching Japanese samurai Kosuke Saka weighed-in at 130 pounds ahead of their battle for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight Title Saturday, April 20, at Edion Arena in Osaka, Japan. 💥💥
Both men looked focused and in great shape for the important battle with the Filipino appearing taller and with wider wingspan than the former Japanese Featherweight titlist.
The winner Saturday in Osaka claims the WBO Asia Pacific Belt and most likely a coveted place in the WBO 130-pound world rankings. May the best Man Win.
