CEBU CITY – With fighters from three of the most notable boxing gymns in the Visayas seeing action, Bakbakan sa Naga 5 promises to be a slam-bang affair.
The 10-fight card is set for Sunday, Dec. 21, at the Enan Chiong Sports Complex in the Cigy of Naga, southern Cebu province.
Naga Mayor Val Chiong graced the weigh-in proceedings on Saturday morning, Dec. 20, at the city public plaza.
Arlando Senoc  (7 W-0 L, 6 KOs), the unbeaten prospect of the Mandaue City-based Big Yellow Boxing Gym, headlines the card as he goes up against Jeric Noynay (5-1, 1 KO) for the vacant World Boxing Organization Asia Pacific Youth flyweight title.
Senoc tipped the scales at 111.8 pounds, while Noynay checked in at 110.9 pounds.
In the co-main event, Richard Laspona of the Bohol-based PMI Bohol Boxing Stable takes on Arvin John Sampaga in a 10-round bout.
Laspona’s stablemates Angilou Dalogdog and Datu Adam are also in for stiff tests, with Dalogdog battling Dennis Gaviola in a six-round contest, while Adam clashing with Kier Espere in an eight-round match.
Big Yellow’s Reycar Auxilio, Carlo Demecillo, John Dominic Ledres, and Dreams Lloyd Valdez are also set to strut their wares against Justine Darap, Jeriel Guisto, and Norman Rusiana, respectively.
The Mandaue-based Omega Boxing Gym, meanwhile, is fielding in Alexander Fredriksson against veteran Jason Canoy Manigos in an eight-round lightweight contest.
Completing the card is the four-round duel between Trestan Jay Racho and Ronie Urgel.
“We want to thank the local government of Naga led by Mayor Val Chiong for supporting this card which showcases talents from the Visayas and Mindanao,” said matchmaker Jojo Palacios.
Leon Panuncillo, WBO Asia-Pacific president, flew in to grace the card, which is free to the public.
