Montilla, Ranillo target PXC titles vs separate foes Saturday

Homegrown fighters Ernesto Montilla Jr. and Glen Ranillo gun for titles in what promises to be an explosive PXC 46 fight card on Saturday at Ynares Sports Arena.

Montilla battles Filipino-American Alvin Cacdac for the vacant PXC flyweight title while Ranillo faces another formidable foe in Chuji Kato of Japan in a lightweight title bout.

Having won his last two fights, the power-punching Montilla is confident of a victory.
