BACOLOD City’s Genesis Servania of the ALA Gym will face his first foreign foe on Sept. 10 in the undercard of ALA Promotions and ABS-CBN Sports’ Pinoy Pride 8: Philippines vs. Mexico at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
Mario “Huracan” Macias (W22-L7 10 KOs), a veteran of 29 fights will be Servania’s toughest test to date as Macias is a typical Mexican fighter who has a big heart and a warrior’s mentality.
Servania (14W-0L 5 KOs) was suppose to meet veteran Gerson Guerrero also of Mexico but the latter was deemed unfit to fight after failing his medical examinations.
Pinoy Pride 8: Philippines vs. Mexico will be headlined by Milan “El” Metodico” Melindo vs. Francisco Rosas and Jason “El Nino” Pagara vs. Rosbel Montoya.
