By Edri K. Aznar



THE protagonists of the ALA Promotions “Hamon Sa Kampeon” boxing extravaganza will face each other for the first time as they will be in a press conference today at the Aegean room at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino.

ALA boys Rey “Boom-Boom” Bautista, Czar Amon-sot and Jason Pagara will be in the same room with their opponents, Indonesian champion Marangin Marbun, Thailand-based African Jesus Muzaka and Decha Bank-luaygym and will talk to the media on their upcoming fight on Friday at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino.

Bautista (26-2, 19 KO’s) is facing Marbun (19-5-1, 7 KO’s) in his comeback fight after almost a year for the interim World Boxing Council International featherweight title.

On the other hand, Amonsot (19-3-1, 11 KO’s) is trading leathers with Muzaka (16-7, 8 KOs), while 17-year-old Pagara (18-1, 10 KO’s) is battling Bankluaygym (29-9-3, 16 KO’s).

Former world title contender Pramuansak Posuwan (45-3-1, 24 KO’s) is also seeing action as he faces young boxing prospect Marjun Yap (11-2, 5 KO’s).

The boxing event will be shown on Studio 23 at 9 in the evening. The fight starts at 5 p.m. while the featured bouts will start at 6 p.m.
