Unbeaten Filipino Featherweight Mark “Magnífico” Magsayo, born in the paradise island of Bohol, weighed-in at 127 pounds while his opponent Mexican Rigoberto Hermosillo came-in slightly lighter at 126.6 lbs ahead of their 10-round main event set for tomorrow, Saturday, October 3, (Sunday morning in Asia) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, USA. Both men looking in excellent shape, ready for battle.

The stage could not be a better hotter for the promising Magsayo (20-0, 14 KO’s), as he stars for the first time as the feature fighter in a major television network.

Should the 25-year-old Pinoy warrior emerge victorious, the chances for him to challenge for a 126-pound world-title increase exponentially.

Will Magsayo seize this golden chance by scoring a sizzling win, similar to the one his stable-mate Johnriel Casimero delivered last Saturday? His many fans say yes.



Or will glory-hungry Mexican brawler Rigoberto Hermosillo (11-2-1, 8 KO's) spoil his evening?

We have to find out.

The exciting rumble is produced by Premier Boxing Champions live on FOX.

Magsayo vs Hermosillo in Featherweight action. May the Best Man Win!
