Kickboxing show in San Remigio tonight

CEBU, Philippines - The moment of truth beckons for Cebuano figher champion Renan ‘Limbas’ Noblefranca as he defends his Yaw-Yan Fighting Challenge Championship (YFCC) junior lightweight title against Arnel ‘Ronin X’  Ylanan in the main event of the ‘Bakbakan sa San Remigio’ kickboxing fightcard tonight at the Artemio Masbate Sports Complex in San Remigio north of Cebu.

It will be Noblefranca's first defense of the belt he seized  with a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Mindanao’s Steve ‘The Lightning’ Sevilleno in July last year at the Cebu Coliseum.

In the supporting main event of the slambang show presented by Yaw-Yan ArDigma Martial Arts Federation in partnership with the municipal government of San Remigio led by Mayor Jay Olivar and International Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IPI), the unbeaten Jordan ‘Labuyo’ Balcita of Yaw-Yan ArDigma-Fervilleon will slug it out with veteran Johnjier ‘Durex Danger’ Torbiso of Durex Dragon Kickboxing Club.

In the other featured match, Ronilo ‘Buffalo’ Espra of Arcomjukai Kickboxing Club of Mandaue will take on Junrey ‘Tongboo’ Soquite of Durex Dragon.

Seven action-packed kickboxing bouts have been lined up to entertain the spectators leading to the main attraction.

Also, the full-contact tournament serves as a qualifying phase for the sixth installment of the highly-successful "Ground & Pound" series slated on August 31 at the Cebu Coliseum. (FREEMAN)
