Pugs for IBF title eliminators make weight

MANILA — The four boxers eyeing a shot at an International Boxing Federation (IBF) world title made weight during the official weigh-in for Rising Stars, the first collaboration of MP Promotions and Ringstar Asia.

Samuel Salva and Rene Mark Cuarto, the two protagonists in the IBF minimumweight title eliminator, both weighed 105 pounds during the pre-fight event at the Resorts World Manila in Pasay City on Friday.

On the other hand, former International Boxing Organization bantamweight champion Michael Dasmariñas tipped the scales at 118 pounds to make sure he is still in for the headliner of the said fight card.

His opponent, Kenny Demecillo, came in slightly lighter at 117.5 pounds.

One of the fights in the said card will have a last-minute change.

Luiz Borje will now have a different opponent as Bernie Aday failed to attend the weigh-in for undisclosed reasons.

The said fight card will take place on Saturday night at the Resorts World Manila. (PNA)
