After a disastrous weigh-in during the Pacific Xtreme Combat’s 14th show in the Philippines that saw both former PXC Flyweight Champion Alvin Cacdac and challenger Crisanto Pitpitunge miss the 125 pound limit, all the fighters in the championship bouts made weight for PXC 51 Friday morning at the Solaire Theatre in Pasay City.
Crisanto Pitpitunge, who was a pound overweight during PXC 48, made a seamless weight-cut in weighing 124 pounds. Iloilo-native Jinel “the Demolition Man” Lausa meanwhile also made the limit as he weighed 124.5 pounds.
“Very easy,” the Fighting Cop said regarding his weight-cut. “Ganun lang talaga pag nagbabawas ng timbang iniisip mo pagkain. Pero okay lang kasi nakuha naman yung timbang.”
Pitpitunge then added that he hopes that he entertains the crowd with his fight come PXC 51. “Just expect the way. It will be interesting,” he closed.
In the co-main event of the card, Guamanian PXC World Bantamweight Champion Kyle Aguon again was punctual in making the 135 pound limit with 134.3 pounds. His challenger, Korean Kwan Ho Kwak, also passed the scales in weighing 134.8 pounds.
“I feel like I’m a veteran in the sport. I’ve been in this game longer,” Aguon said during the press conference. “My wrestling, submission and kickboxing is my biggest advantage in the sport and it will be no different come fight night,” he vowed.
The challenger, making his PXC debut, though is promising that he will be no push-over for the champion. “All the fighters I faced before have said the same thing but everyone fell to me via KO. This fight wouldn’t be any different,” Kwan said in Korean.
Almost all the fighters made weight for their respective bouts including Rolando Gabriel Dy. Dy missed the weight limit for his supposed Bantamweight Championship bout against Aguon during PXC 48 by half a pound.
The only fighter who did not make weight for PXC 51 was URCC veteran Miguel Mosquera. Mosquera was a whopping 5.6 pounds overweight.
According to PXC officials, a percentage of his fight purse will be deducted due to missing weight. Dy however was disappointed that his opponent did not make weight and was confident that he will go out as victorious tomorrow night.
