Former WBA minimum weight title challenger Eriberto ?Yukka? Gejon should handily dispose of Thailand?s 25 year old Wisan Sor Suchanya in the main event of a Manny Pacquiao Promotions open air fight card along Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
Gejon who was robbed of the world title in a 10 round technical decision against Yutaka Niida in Japan on September 25, 2005 is coming off a second round TKO of Thailand?s Yoddoi Sithsoei last September 22 at the San Andres Sports Center in Manila. Gejon sports a record of 22-1-1 with 14 knockouts and is cut above the class of Suchanya.
The Thai fighter dropped a lopsided decision to Rexon Flores last December 30 at the Mandaluyong City Gym in a clash for the vacant WBO Intercontinental light flyweight title when all three judges scored it 118-110 for Flores. Suchanya has a record of 8-4-1 with 2 KO?s.
In what may well be a more exciting fight Australian Terry Mogg?s fighter Gretchen Abaniel battles Baino Lindo in a clash of women boxers. Abaniel who is managed and trained by Mogg, a former fighter who works with the Australian Embassy in Manila, is coming off a four round majority decision over China?s Li Hai Li in Yunnan on December 21 last year. Lindo who was featured on Viva Sports top-rated weekly boxing show ?The Main Event? lost her pro debut against Jujeath Nagawa of Baguio City on August 26, 2006.
