Press Release: World-rated Juanitor Rubillar will take on veteran Acasio Simbajon on Gabriel "Bebot" Elorde Jr.'s card at the San Dionisio Sports Center in Paranaque City in The Philippines on Sunday. Scheduled for ten rounds at an unusual 110-pound limit, Rubillar (35-9-7, 14 KOs) is ultimately aiming for a shot against WBC light flyweight champion Brian Viloria this year. "I am taking this fight seriously because he (Simbajon) is not only a recognition-hungry veteran boxer, he also wants to get even with me," said Rubillar, referring to a unanimous decision win over 10 rounds he gained in a rematch against Simbajon on April 29. Their first bout on July 21 of last year ruled as technical draw in round three after Simbajon suffered a nasty cut from accidental headbutt.
