Tuesday afternoon (early morning for us North Americans) in Manila. WBO bantamweight Oriental title on the line, Gaballo's second defense. The incumbent, a 27 year old Pinoy kayo artist, has lost just once in his career - stopped in four rounds by Nonito Donaire in 2021 in a bid to upgrade himself to full championship status. He is a former two-time interim world champion at bantam - once for the WBA in 2018, and the WBC in 2020. His opponent, a 40 year old Thai southpaw formerly of Kokietgym affiliation, shares the distinction of having only ever tasted interim world title gold. He was the WBA's interim champ briefly at minimumweight in 2011 and early 2012 - when he was busted for dealing meth and consequently stripped.
