Cebu's Robert Allanic and Wyndel Janiola face separate Philippine champions tonight as they seek to earn their national titles in Binangonan, Rizal.
ALA Boy Allanic, who has only 1 loss in 16 fights, will challenge RP superfly champion Eden Sonsona in the 12-round mainer.
This will be Allanic's biggest fight to date, while Sonsona (10-1, 2 KO's) will be defending his title for the second time since winning it this year against Eric Barcelona.
Allanic versus Sonsona will be an interesting battle between two young upstarts who both have the skills and power to make this an explosive fight.
The co-feature pits the talented Janiola of the Wakee Salud Gym against RP light-flyweight champion Sonny Boy Jaro in another 12-round tiff.
Janiola (18-4, 9 KO's) will try to reclaim the old title he had relinquished when he tried his luck for some international belts in 2003.
Jaro (24-5-4, 15 KO's) will be defending his national belt for the fourth time after barely retaining it with a draw against the dangerous Along Denoy last September 17.
