Filipino bantamweight Herlan Gomez of Victorias, Negros Occidental, looked strong and focused during today’s weigh-in at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Center in Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia.
The promising 26-year-old made an excellent weight of 53.5 kilos (117.94 pounds) ahead of his eight-round WBC Australasia title rumble against Aussie veteran Jason Moloney.
Moloney — firmly starring at the Filipino in his eyes — came-in 100 grams lighter at 53.4 kgs (117.72 pounds).
Herlan Gomez, who hails from lovely Victorias, Negros Occidental, will be assisted in his corner by coaches, former fighters Jayvee Jacinto Alipio and Brico Langbay Santig.
L-R: Jacinto Alipio, Brico Santig and Herlan Gomez in Australia.
Best of Luck to our strong and disciplined Filipino warrior 🇵🇭 Herlan Gomez, and his Highland Team! May the Best Man Win! 🇵🇭🇦🇺👍🥊
