But the show, labeled Thursday Night Fights II,
is now without a doubt the most significant
promotion in the history of Hong Kong boxing!
The originally planned UBO World Super Flyweight
title fight between Randy Petalcorin and Noli
Morales had to be scrapped due to passport issues,
but is replaced by an equally interesting bout for
the vacant UBO World Bantamweight crown, pitting
fellow Filipinos Fernando Lumacad (25-3-3, 11 KOs)
and Glenn Suminguit (12-1, 7 KOs).
Lumacad, who’s defeats came against world class
fighters Jorge Arce, Juan Jose Montes and Wandee
Singwancha, is clearly the more experienced of the
two, but Suminguit will likely give him problems
with his speedy and tricky southpaw boxing style,
and this shapes up to be a fascinating clash of
styles.
Lefoumbou Ngoma (8-2-1, 6 KOs), originally from
Republic of the Congo but now fighting out of Hong
Kong, was scheduled to fight Thailand’s Plaisakda
Singwancha for the vacant UBO Inter-Continental
Light Heavyweight title, but will now instead take
on an opponent to be confirmed for the vacant UBO
World title. |

Unchanged is the fact that local favorite Rex Tso
(5-0, 3 KOs) squares off with Pongpan Patanakan
Gym (11-7-1, 10 KOs) for the vacant UBO Asia
Pacific Super Flyweight Championship, and Hong
Kong-based Samoan heavyweight Lawrence Tauasa
(32-9-1, 20 KOs) fights TBA for the vacant UBO
International title.
