BANGKOK, Thailand — Undefeated WBA ASIA champion Nattapong Jankaew of Thailand (Left) and heavy-hitter Pinoy challenger Adrian Lerasan (11-4, 4 KO's), born in Antipolo, Rizal Province, face off after successfully making 115 lbs (52.16 kilos) ahead of their hot ten-chapter war for the WBA ASIA super flyweight title set for Friday, August 19, here in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 23-year-old power-puncher Adrian Lerasan has brilliantly knocked out all of his prior three tough Thai opponents in a row, a feat no other Filipino boxer has ever done.
