?Uzito hamna shida.? or no problem with the weight as they say in Swahili as the East African boxers Mbwana Matumla of Tanzania and Morris Chule of Kenya easily made the required weight limit for their respective battles against AJ Banal and Czar Amonsot.
Matumla said prior to the weigh-in that he was ready to go the full ten rounds if needed against Banal who also made the bantamweight limit. Amonsot flexed his muscles as he stepped on the scales and made the lightweight limit and looked ready to get it on with his Kenyan opponent.
Jason Pagara and Hero Katili also easily made weight for their lightweight encounter. Larry ?Bon Jovi? Canillas and Reman Salim made the superbantamweight limit for their eight round bout.
This fight card also features superbantamweights Jun Intor vs. Leonard Guardiano, Jr.flyweights Marjohn Macahilig vs. Francis Lee Cutanda, Lightweights Rocky Amonsot vs. Evelino Valleser, and superfeatherweights Reynante Boctot vs. Samuel Galinato.
The weigh-in was held Friday morning at the SM Cebu Entertainment Center. Lucky fans got free tickets during the question and answer portion held after the boxers made weight.
This spine tingling Cebu Coliseum fight card starts at 6 PM Saturday and will be aired on a slightly delayed basis on the same night on ABS-CBN Studio 23 starting at 9 PM.
