Currently attracting thousands of sabong enthusiasts, the 2019 World Slasher Cup 2 Invitational 9-Cock Derby enters its crucial phase where a new champion is expected to emerge on Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Competing in tomorrow’s 4-cock finals are those with 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 points while the grand finale on Sunday will be for participants with 4, 4.5 and 5 points.
Rey Canedo of Team Excellence, the 2019 WPC 220 K Big Event champion and first timer Henry Tubban of Ilocos banner the grand finalists with five wins apiece.
“It’s still anybody’s race at this point but a participant who will score four point will have a bigger chance of winning this prestigious event,” said Pitgames Media Inc. CEO Manny Berbano.
Last year, Rey Briones of Masbate (Green Gold Uno) bagged the solo championship despite tallying only 7.5 points in the event that attracted 200 entries.
