                    [Title] => Jaca bids for 2nd OPBF title today
                    [Summary] => Cebu-honed ring gladiator Jimrex Jaca shoots for his second Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation crown as he takes on  Nobuhito Honmo for the vacant OPBF super featherweight belt today at the historic Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.


This will be the second time Jaca vies for an OPBF plum. He once reigned as the OPBF super bantamweight champion, but relinquished his throne even before climbing up the ring due to weight troubles in his title defense against Japanese Yasuo Kunimi on May 30, 2004 in Kanazawa.
