The WBO Oriental Interim title fight between the Philippines Asia Pacific bantamweight champion Robert Allanic (17-5-2, 9 KO’s) who agreed to move up in weight to battle undefeated Indonesian hope Daud “Cino” Yordan in Pontianak in West Kalimantan province, Indonesia on Saturday was called off at the last minute.
Yordan’s manager Pino Bahari said that the fight card was off but gave no reasons. Bahari informed the ALA Gym that he had re-scheduled the fight card in which two other Filipinos were scheduled to see action.
Daudy “The Bali Boy” Bahari (38-3-1, 14 KO’s) was scheduled to clash with JR Sollano (14-10, 10 KO’s) for the WBO Asia Pacific junior welterweight interim title and Yohannes Yordan (7-1, 1 KO) was to take on Ricky Sismundo (13-3, 4 KO’s) for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific featherweight Youth title.
ALA Gym patron Tony Aldeguer told BoxingScene.com, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that Bahari had informed him the fight card would be moved to June and later said it would be moved to June 27 or July 4. There were signed contracts for the fights and the Filipino boxers who have been in training have clearly been disadvantaged by the several postponements since they also lost the opportunity to have other fights.
At 1:00 p.m. Pino Bahari sent us an email stating "We have some problem here with the previous sponsors so now we still in progress with other company and program reschedule on 27 June."
