Mancio all set for ring comeback
CEBU, Philippines – Cebuano boxer Jerson 'Smooth Operator' Mancio (18-5, KOs) will make a ring comeback against Jonas 'Zorro' Sultan (6-2, 4KOs) in the main event of ALA Promotions-Cobra Energy Drink 'Tunay na Lakas Boxing' this Saturday night at the Murcia Sport and Cultural Center in Murcia, Negros Occidental.
Mancio, who is coming off a nine-month hiatus, once vied for the OPBF light flyweight title but lost to Japanese champion Naoya Inoue via fifth round knockout two years ago in Tokyo, Japan.
Mancio also tried to snatch the Phl 108-pound crown, but again faltered via third round technical decision to Benezer Alolod on May 14 last year at the Hyatt Hotel in Manila.
In the supporting bout, former amateur standout Boyce 'Astro Boy' Sultan (8-4, 5KOs) will slug it out with Geo 'Santino' Santisima (4-2, 3KOs) of Masbate.
The rest of the card features Jefcon Concerman vs Raul Yu; Peter Apolinar vs Ryan Quimbo; Virgil Vetor vs Kenneth Neron; Jopher Montano vs Paul Varona; Junnel Borlado vs Ernesto Alera; and Elmer Liboon vs Richard Lomugdang. (FREEMAN)
