Well-traveled puncher Alvin Lagumbay meets Pepito Masangkay as they square off for the Philippine Boxing Federation super-lightweight title on Manny Pacquiao Presents: Blow-By-Blow on Saturday in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro.
Representing Hard Stone Boxing of Bangar in La Union, Lagumbay enters the ring armed with a 14-8-1 win-loss-draw record with 12 knockouts.
Lagumbay, who fought in Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Japan, will have his hands full in the scheduled 10-rounder.
Masangkay, fighting out of MP Boxing Gym in Davao, totes a 6-2 ledger with four knockouts.
This will be a special presentation of Blow-By-Blow since it is taking place where eight-division legend Pacquiao commenced his Hall of Fame career 30 years ago.
“This place holds a special place in my heart because it was there where I began my professional career,” said Pacquiao, whose weekly television program is aired every Sunday at 8:30 p.m. on Cignal’s ONE Sports channel.
The first bell is at 1 p.m. with 14 other fights — aside from the main event — taking the spotlight with the program’s Chief Executive Officer Marife Barrera being helped out by a solid crew that includes matchmaker Art Monis.
