Morequest ta og suway pareho sa gibuhat namo kang Regie Suganob nga nisuwat mi sa IBF para sa world title eliminator. Mao pud among buhaton para kang Vitor ngadto sa WBO.

Vitor, who only fought four bouts under PMI after signing with the Bohol-based boxing promotions this year, yielded the WBO regional title.“Mao gyud among prediction within five rounds nga matumba. Mao gyud to ang gipractice gyud namo, among tan-aw kung mosagol ni ang Koreano sa duwa, matumba jud siya. Aw nisagol man siya. Dili jud questionable ang kakusgon sa kumo ni Vitor,” said Podot.
