Cebu City - Marco Singwangcha of the RWS Gym of Cebu weighed in at 116.5 lbs and his opponent Nelson Llanos of Butuan City stepped in at 115.75 lbs during the official weigh-in Saturday morning at the Rex 'Wakee' Salud Gym in Labangon, Cebu City. They will fight Sunday August 7 at the Centrum of the southern municipality of Sibonga,Cebu for the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) bantamweight crown.
Singwangcha, who started his career as Marco Demecillo, is unbeaten with a record of 12 wins (9 Ko?s) with one draw. He is being eyed by Promoter Rex 'Wakee' Salud for a fight in Las Vegas this November if he continues his winning streak. Marco fights with the surname Singwangcha to honor his sponsor, Thai Promoter Naris Singwangcha who is co-promoting this bout.
Also seeing action in the undercards are TI Yamagata Sentillas and Noel 'Dinamita' Adelmita who both weighed 112 lbs, Marlon Sandoval Singwangcha (106 lbs) vs Marlo Talili (106.5 lbs), Lobert Bayo (114.25 lbs) vs Erwin Pulvera, who initially weighed 118.25 lbs and after an hour of sweating to lose weight stepped on the scales at 116.5 lbs. Honey Boy Vidad (130 lbs) vs Sesustener Llanera (129 lbs); not Sehayahei Llanera as earlier reported, and Jayson Redondo Singwangcha (126 lbs) vs Junel Busano (124.5 lbs) round up the fight card.
The weigh-in was supervised by Celso Miranda of the Games and Amusements Board of Cebu. This boxing promotion is held with the
cooperation of the local government of Sibonga lead by Mayor Lionel Bacaltos and Vice Mayor Rey Apuda. Fight time is at 7 PM.
