All eyes will be focused on local boy Jessie ?Finisher?Rafols when he faces Japanese Hideo ?Death From Tokyo? Morikawa in their blue ribbon match for the interim bantamweight championship of the Colt 45 Universal Reality Combat Championships XIX which get underway April 2 at the World Trade Centre in Pasay City.
The Rafols-Morikawa confrontation will decide who will succeed belt-holder Justin ?Shocker? Cruz, who has decided to take a hiatus status to concentrate on his new love, firefighting.
Both Rafols Morikawa are both undefeated so the organizers decided to pair them to determine who between them will emerge the best in their division, URCC president Alvin Aguilar said during Friday?s SCOOP Sa Kamayan weekly session at the Kamayan Restaurant-Padre Faura.
