The ALA Gym fighters scheduled to see action this Sunday, Manila Time, at the StubHub Center in Carson City, California are "relaxed and their attitude towards the fights is very good."
Head trainer Edito "Ala" Villamor in an overseas conversation with the New Standard/boxingmirror.com said they had studied tapes of the opponents of WBO light flyweight champion Donnie Nietes, undefeated IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight champion Prince Albert Pagara, unbeaten IBF Youth featherweight
champion Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo and WBO No. 2 ranked light welterweight Jason Pagara and conceded that Prince Albert faced the toughest test against William "Chirizo" Gonzalez of Nicaragua.
Villamor said Gonzalez "was a world title challenger and is strong" but that Prince Albert is "well prepared against
the southpaw who is quick and has a good one-two combination."
He said Prince Albert "knows when he needs to back off and when he needs to punch." even as he stressed all the fighters were "in great condition and are ready as ever."
The official weigh-in will take place on October 16.
Villamor revealed that IBA super flyweight champion Bruno Escalante will fight on the undercard along with Adam Fiel, a 26 year old Fil-Am super featherweight.
Escalante (13-1-1, 6 KO's) will face Mexico's Nestor Ramos (6-2-1, 2 KO's) while the undefeated Fiel (6-0, 2 KO's) will face Michael Gaxiola (4-4, o KO's).
