CEBU, Philippines - Philippine super flyweight champion Marco Demecillo Singwangcha is primed and ready to trade fistic bombs with the Phl ranked No. 8 115-pounder Jeffrey Cerna in the main event of the “No Retreat, No Surrender” fight card tomorrow night at the Compostela Sports Complex.
The Iligan City-native Singwangcha is unscathed in 17 fights with one draw and a dozen wins by knockout, while Cerna sports a 12-5 record packed with 5KOs.
In his previous bout, the 21-year-old Singwangcha retained his Phl crown with a spectacular third round stoppage of Marvin Mabait last March 22 at the historic Mactan Shrine in Lapu-Lapu City.
Cerna, on the other hand, is coming from back-to-back defeats, the most latest was by split decision at the hands of the uindefeated ALA Boxing Gym stalwart Arthur “El Matador” Villanueva last June 2 at the Resorts World Hotel and Casino in Pasay City.
The Manila-based Cerna once vied for the WBC Youth Silver super flyweight title but lost via eighth round knockout to Thai Petch Sor Chitpattana last March 30 at the Chokchai 4 Market in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the equally-exciting undercards, TI Yamagata Aguelo of Maasin City will take on Jerry Nardo of Bacolod City in a 12-round rumble for the Phl featherweight title, while Redondo Singwangcha of Ormoc will mix it up with Eman Lavanza of Mandaue for the PBF super featherweight belt.
