3 Pinoys fight in Pacquiao undercard

THREE other Filipinos will be fighting in the Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman undercard--Jayar Inson, Genisis Libranza and John Leo Dato.

Inson (18-2, 12 KOs) will face former world champion Sergey Lipinets (15-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder; Libranza will take on Carlos Maldonado and Dato will face Juan Antonio Lopez.

Inson was supposed to face a different opponent in the undercard but he stepped in for John Molina Jr. at the last minute after the latter backed out due to back injury.

Libranza (18-1, 10 KOs), on the other hand, hopes to continue his impressive run as he takes on Mexican-American Maldonado (11-3, 7 KOs) in an eight-rounder, while Dato (11-0-1, 7 KOs), a Filipino-American, trades leathers with Mexican Juan Antonio Lopez. Dato, who lives in California, just beat German Meraz by unanimous decision last month, while Lopez stopped Devon Jones in three rounds in his last outing. (EKA)
