Michael Fare?as to fight in Margarito-Garcia undercard
By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Tue, 04 May 2010

Michael Fare?as, the reigning World Profesional Boxing Federation (WPBF) featherweight champion, will face Marlon Aguilar in Aguascalientes, Mexico in the undercard of the Antonio Margarito ? Roberto Garcia fight this Sunday May 9 (Manila Time).
The 25 year old Fare?as (27W-2L-3D, 24 KO?s) is a prot?g? of former two division world champ Gerry Pe?alosa. He won the vacant WPBF title last October 2009 with a 9th round KO of South Korea?s Jae-Bong Jang at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
Penalosa informed of his ward?s upcoming fight and is hoping Fare?as will score an impressive victory this time around. Last March, Fare?as fought in the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey mega-fight in Arlington, Texas and wound up with a second round no decision against Joe Morales.
The 22 year old Aguilar, who sports the ring monicker La Rata, was born in Managua, Nicaragua but currently resides in Mexico. He has previously held the IBA superfeatherweight and WBC Fecarbox featherweight titles.
Aguilar (27W-9L-1D, 17 KO?s) has lost to world class fighters like Oscar Larios, Daniel Ponce de Leon and Jhonny Gonzales.This is the same Gonzales who Pe?alosa beat for his second world title. Gonzales lost by seventh round KO in a WBO bantamweight title bout last August 2007 during the Philippines vs Mexico Boxing World Cup.
The southpaw Fare?as has scored knockouts in his last six wins. Last January, he knocked out Thai Sathian Sokham in the first round in a fight held in Mandaluyong City. His fight against Aguilar is scheduled for eight rounds and will be held at the La Feria de San Marcos in Aguascalientes. This fight card is headlined by Jorge Solis vs Mario Santiago but it will be Margarito?s performance that will interest Filipino fight fans as he is tagged as a future Pacquiao opponent.
