Daile (L) and Macahilig.
ALA Promotions has always been generous to Bacolod and to Negros in general. After the Nietes-Hirales treat last October, the Philipines' Premier Boxing Promotions in partnership with Cobra Energy Drink brings another Barn Burner event to the City of Smiles with the Arden Diale vs. Mhar Jhun Macahilig Philippine Flyweight Championship.
Diale's most recent notable win was his unanimous decision victory against formerly undefeated flyweight prospect Lolito Sonsona. Macahilig on the other and has been knocking out opponents left and right with Kaichon Sor Vorapin being his latest victim. His only career loss was a majority decision against Fernando Ocon two years ago.
Macahilig has developed into a pitbull when it comes to ring aggression. He is a bulldozer who does not respect his opponents' power. On the contrast, Diale is a tactician with a granite chin. He uses the ring like a soccer field using its width to toy around with his opponents. Hence, we can expect a raging bull and a matador inside the square ring come Saturday. Will the matador tame the bull or will the bull trap him and bid him goodnight with his horn? There's only one way to find out: Watch the fight on Saturday April 14, 5PM at the Bay Center, Bacolod City.
