However, ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer told the Manila Standard that while Sabillo may not be as skilled as some of the other ALA fighters and it will be a new experience since this will be Sabillo’s first fight abroad after a long and tiring flight from Cebu, “he has guts and is all heart” and they are hoping it will help him win and possibly set up a title fight against reigning champion Moises Fuentes who last Saturday dropped a majority draw decision to light flyweight champion Donnie Nietes in a close and exciting title bout.
