Dodie Boy Jr. and his brother Dave both made the super bantamweight limit for their respective fights at Mandaluyong City Gym on Saturday.

Dodie Boy Jr. was on target at 122 pounds while his opponent Dicky Amtiran tipped the scales at 123 pounds. Amtiran was tapped as a late replacement when Dodie Boy Jr.'s original opponent, Yon Armed of Indonesia, felt ill during fight week.

Dave, on the other hand, weighed in at 121 pounds while his opponent, Danilo Gabisay, was a pound lighter at 120 pounds.

The Peñalosa siblings are sons of former Filipino world champion Dodie Boy.

The event is promoted by their uncle and former two-division world champion Gerry Peñalosa. Entrance is open to the public for free. — JST, GMA News
