You have to understand that where we are from, which is the south side of the Philippines, the region Manny Pacquiao is from, there is a lot of poverty. So we know this is going to be a tough fight for ‘Prince’ Albert Pagara.”Ĭhief trainer Edmund Villamor: “The island is very historic and boxing is one of the activities that people find passion for very quickly. Everyone saw the fight that Cesar Juarez had against WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire and that was a fight of the year nominee.

Pagara is an up and coming Filipino fighter. Ricky Resureccion (ABS-CBN Marketing): “This is a must watch fight for the people of boxing. “I have already tasted defeat before, and I’m not having that feeling again, so there isn’t anything that I’m scared of.” Jason “El Nino” Pagara: “I don’t need to say much, I’m looking for a knockout, that’s it! My specialty punch is the uppercut and he will feel it come July 9th.” I’m very confident with the power of my punches and if I hit my target than it better be ready.” With proper training, I feel very confident. Also what I learned is that training is the key and I don’t have a fear of losing. Freddy Roach worked with my brother and I on improving our stamina for preparation of a fight lasting twelve rounds. Right now I understand it and I speak a little, but I know I need to fight here more and learn to speak more English.”

“With fighting here in the US the plan is for me to learn more English. I’m going to stick to my game plan because I’m here to win.” I know that the Filpino community will be there to represent as well. I don’t plan to play into what the crowd wants, despite the crowd maybe being largely Hispanic. My Plan is to stick to my game plan and not fall into his, which is to have a street fight. Cesar Juarez was not in attendance.Īlbert Pagara: “Cesar Juarez is a strong Mexican fighter who loves to move forward and attack but I’m ready to face him.
