CEBU, PHILIPPINES-A dual OPBF title bout slated on December 21, promoted by Rex Wakee Salud, has been postponed until January 31. WBC #2 and WBA #2 ranked 130-pounder Randy Suico (20-0, 17 KOs), a Filipino hard-puncher, will put his OPBF super-feather belt on the line against Korean top contender Seungwon Baek (9-2, 2 KOs), over twelve. The OPBF 122-pound champ Pedrito Laurente (14-6-1, 5 KOs), will engage in a mandatory defense against fellow countryman and national champ Jimrex Jaca (20-0, 9 KOs), over twelve. Salud planned to stage a dinner show at Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City, Philippines, but he needs more time for preparation and the alternative date given by the hotel was the last day of the next month.
