Jason ?El Ni?o? Pagara's future as a big fight headliner will be on the line when he fights Mexico's Rosbel Montoya in a much anticipated rematch of the fight held last September. Montoya gave Pagara a boxing lesson last year and became only the second Mexican boxer to win here in Cebu. Pagara will have to be better on Saturday. Pagara and Montoya both weighed in at 139.5 lbs during the official weigh-in held Friday noon at the SM Cebu City Mall Events Center. "I am anticipating a great fight.

Pazos weighed 120 lbs while Genesis 'Azukal' Servania of Bacolod City stepped in at the division limit of 122 lbs. "I reached twelve rounds in sparring and I feel really good."
