"First I have to win the 8th of October. Everyone knows that Filipinos came to die in the line of fire and Tabugon has nothing to lose and everything to win-but I am well prepared and motivated to perform in front of my people .I have no doubt there will be a show on the stage, and that i will win and analyze with my team and promoter Zanfer on what fights I want superflyweights,including Chocolatito, Nica Concepcion, Naoya Inoue or Cuadras" Estrada said.
Tabugon is came from 5th round TKO defeat on July 29 against Makazole Tete in bout for IBO Intercontinental title. He already fought in Mexico on November 2015 against world rated Juan Hernandez but unfortunately he lost also via 5th round TKO.
