Russell Cadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines – Ito ang pagkakataon na hindi na maaa­ring pakawalan ni dating Fi­lipino world title challenger Drian Francisco kung gusto niyang mag­kampeon sa buong mundo.

Sasagupain ni Francisco  (28-3-1, 22 KO’s) si Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0-0, 10 KO’s) ng Cuba sa undercard ng laban nina Miguel Cotto at Canelo Alvarez sa Linggo sa Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nang dumating ang alok na labanan ang 35-anyos na si Rigondeaux ay umatras ang 33-anyos na tubong Sab­layan, Occidental Min­doro sa isang laban ni­ya noong nakaraang Bi­yernes sa Philippine Navy Headquarters sa Ta­guig City.

Si Rigondeaux, isang two-time Olympic gold medalist, ang nagdomina kay Nonito ‘The Filipino Flash’ Donaire Jr. no­ong 2013.

Tinanggalan siya ng WBO junior featherweight title at ng WBA belt.
