Former WBA minimum weight title challenger Eriberto “Yukka” Gejon should handily dispose of Thailand’s 25 year old Wisan Sor Suchanya in the main event of a Manny Pacquiao Promotions open air fight card along Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

 

Gejon who was robbed of the world title in a 10 round technical decision against Yutaka Niida in Japan on September 25, 2005 is coming off a second round TKO of Thailand’s Yoddoi Sithsoei last September 22 at the San Andres Sports Center in Manila. Gejon sports a record of 22-1-1 with 14 knockouts and is cut above the class of Suchanya.

 

The Thai fighter dropped a lopsided decision to Rexon Flores last December 30 at the Mandaluyong City Gym in a clash for the vacant WBO Intercontinental light flyweight title  when all three judges scored it 118-110 for Flores. Suchanya has a record of 8-4-1 with 2 KO’s.

 

In what may well be a more exciting fight Australian Terry Mogg’s fighter Gretchen Abaniel battles Baino Lindo in a clash of women boxers. Abaniel who is managed and trained by Mogg, a former fighter who works with the Australian Embassy in Manila, is coming off a  four round majority decision over China’s Li Hai Li in Yunnan on December 21 last year. Lindo who was featured on Viva Sports top-rated weekly boxing show “The Main Event” lost her pro debut against Jujeath Nagawa of Baguio City on August 26, 2006.
