A night of exciting match-ups awaits fight fans in Baguio City when an exciting 9-bout card, headlined by a WBO Youth title bout, takes place this Saturdy at the 3,000-capacity Baguio Convention Center.
Dubbed 'Great Fights at the Heights,' the event is being presented by the Baguio Everlasting Sports Promotion in coordination with Hon. Councilor Rocky Thomas Balisong for the benefit of 10-year-old cornea transplant patient Franz Alison F. Pawe.
Topbilling the show is the WBO Asia Pacific Youth flyweight showdown between local boy Javier Malulan against Thailand's Saensaknoi Or Muangklang in a 10-round dukeout.
Saensaknoi arrived in Baguio yesterday, vowing to shame the local boy right in his home turf when they clash for the title.
The WBO golden belt will be awarded by Representative Mauricio G. Domogan.

Another 10-round encounter takes place between Amor Tino and Joan De Guia in the super-featherweight class with the winner getting another golden trophy from Hon. Nick Parado.
