[Title] => Cebu Boxing in 2005
[Summary] => Cebu has always been proud of being the hotbed of boxing in the Philippines, and we've proven it once again in 2005. With the year of boxing basically done save for a few more fights, it is certain that another year will end without a world champion from Cebu Boxing. However, there are still many highlights worth citing.

And theyre being paired off to eliminate the other.
