Battle-tested Albert Francisco and fast-rising Angelou Dalogdog collide for the Philippine flyweight throne Sunday at the Barangay Namayan Covered Court in Mandaluyong City.
Pacquiao met his staff during his world title fight with Mario Barrios over the weekend at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to guarantee the much-awaited return of the show after a short absence.
Marife Barrera, Len Tomas and Mig Elorde, all top executives of Blow-By-Blow, met with Pacquiao in the United States to finalize the Mandaluyong City card.
“I made a pledge that Blow-By-Blow will serve as a vehicle for aspiring boxers and this is the reason why we are bringing it back,” said the recently-enshrined Hall of Famer.
Eight more fights will spice up the Francisco vs Dalogdog main match.
Fighting out of the Johnny Elorde Stable of Sucat-Parañaque, Francisco holds a 13-1 win-loss record with nine knockouts.
Carrying the PMI Boxing banner of Tagbilaran, Bohol, Dalogdog totes an unbeaten slate of 10-0 with four knockouts.
