The weights are in for "Pinoy Pride 17" - taking place at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines. There were some weight issues. AJ Banal's opponent, Pungluang Sor Singyu of Thailand came in at 119-pounds on his first attempt, but made weight on his second try. They battle for the vacant WBO bantamweight title.
Daniel Ruiz couldn't make weight for his fight with Rey Bautista. His official weight is 129 so he loses 10% of his purse and has to wear 10oz gloves. The WBO International featherweight title will be on the line for Bautista only.
