Fast-rising featherweight Michael Farenas, who is managed by Japanese Kosuke Washio and Gerry Penalosa, takes centerstage when he goes up against veteran Edwin Gastador in a 10-round rumble on March 12 in Kawayan, Masbate.
The southpaw Farenas, a native of Sorsogon Province, is hoping to barge into the top 10 with a win over Gastador.
In the chief support, ex-PABA junior fly boss Marvin Tampus will see action as a bantamweight after a one-year layoff as he takes on one-time prospect Noel Sungahid in another 10-round tiff.
Tampus, who has not won a fight since 2004, is expected to have his hands full as he goes immediately against a dangerous fighter in Sungahid.
Greg Mangan, another fighter who was once a prospect but is now in a career limbo, takes on Bert Gawat in the card's third tenner.
The rest of the card pits Jerope Mercado against Regie Binueza; Alvin Mundala versus Bonnie Maido; Jimmy Sescon versus Elmer Colve; and Rogelio Bardon against Rogen Flores.
