HERERA VS YAP FOR WBA ASIA SOUTH STRAP

By Carlos Costa

In a hot rumble, Jadier Herrera (5-0, 5 KO’s) of Camaguey, Cuba, grandson of revered Cuban boxing legend 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist Angel Herrera Vera, trades heavy artillery against Pinoy former OPBF champ “The Journeyman” Mark John Yap of Cagayan de Oro City for the vacant WBA Asia South Super Featherweight Title tomorrow in Dubai UAE.

The 19-year-old Jadier Herrera fights to follow the steps of his grand-father hero boxing legend, a man who captured gold in Montreal 1976 and Moscow 1980, plus amateur world boxing championships in Belgrade and Munich.

Jaidier just wants to make his old man proud.

But the road ahead is not easy.

Does the young Herrera have in his genes the same magnificent fighting skills that his beloved “abuelo” had… the same superb talent encoded in his DNA, waiting to develop to one day captivate and amaze boxing fans?
