Hangad ni double world champion Ronnie Alcano na maide-pensa ang kanyang natitirang world title sa pagsabak sa 2008 World 8-Ball Championship sa April 18-25 sa Amir Billiards Club sa Fujairah City, United Arab Emirates.
“I will try my best to keep this world 8-ball title. I know it’s going to be a very tough task, but I’ve been preparing hard for this,” wika ng 35- gulang na mainstay ng Bugsy Promotions, na naging se-cond cue artist na naghari sa World 8-Ball at World 9-ball tulad ni Taiwanese Wu Chia-ching noong 2005.
Kung magtatagumpay si Alcano na nawalan ng 9-Ball plum laban kay Daryl Peach ng England noong November, ang makakapagdepensa ng world 8-ball crown na nagawa ni American Earl Strickland sa World 9-Ball Championship noong 1990 at1991.
Makakasama ni Alca-no ang stablemate at current world no.1 Dennis Orcollo para sa kampanya ng Pinas sa eight-day event na lalahukan ng 64 world best cue artists.
“I will do my best to win this world 8-ball so I could finally become a world champion,” ani Orcollo.
