Sanman Promotions presents
Laban Pinoy 3: Rise Of Champions
on Sunday February 26 at the
Lagao Gymnasium in General
Santos City, Philippines,
featuring no less than three
all-Filipino World Boxing
Federation (WBF) International title fights.
Local favourite Lolito “Thunder
Shot” Sonsona takes on Renren
“Rainman” Tesorio from Manilla
for the vacant WBF International
Super Flyweight title. Sonsona
brings a record of 20-1-4 (9),
while former Philippines
national champion Tesorio is
15-9-3 (4).
One weigh-class above,
24-year-old Southpaw stylist Ben
Mananquil, 12-1-2 (3), squares
off with fellow lefty Glenn
Porras, 29-5 (17), with the
vacant WBF International
Bantamweight crown at stake.
Seven years older at 31, Porras
has a clear advantage in
experience, but Mananquil is
likely the fresher of the two.
Finally, top contender Eden
“Sanman” Sonsona, older brother
of the aforementioned Lolito,
will attempt to claim the vacant
WBF International Super
Featherweight title against
underdog Jovany Rota. Sonsona, a
former world title-challenger at
Bantamweight, is 35-6-2 (12)
since turning pro at fifteen in
2004. Rota is 9-9 (6).
Officially part of General
Santos City´s annual Kalilangan
Festival celebration, the show
will feature one more
championship fight, and is free
for the public to attend.
Upwards of 5000 loud and
enthusiastic spectators are
expected at the Lagao Gymnasium.
