will fight Jojo Rodrigo of General Santos City for the
third time tonight (June 16) at the Almendras gym
here.

already. In their last encounter, the 21-year old
Alcos knocked out Rodrigo in 2:25 of the sixth round
last January 14 at the Maasim gym in Maasim, Sarangani
Province.

It will also feature the PBF junior lightweight
