"Prince" Pagara stops Eausampan in Maasin By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Fri, 16 Nov 2012  MAASIN CITY,SOUTHERN LEYTE - "Prince" Albert Pagara gave a memorable and devastating performance in front of his hometown fans to further his status as one of the best prospects in the country.

Eausampan got up but was on wobbly legs and bleeding from the right eye prompting Referee Tony Pesons to stop the contest. Official time was 1:45 of the second round. Seconds after the fight ended, the Thai had difficulty opening and closing his mouth and was advised to go to the hospital for a possible broken jaw. Pagara fulfilled his pre-fight statement that he would avenge the loss of his stablemate, AJ Banal at the hands of Thai Pungluang Sor Singyu last month at the Mall of Asia Arena. After his impressive win, Pagara was awarded a trophy by Maasin City Mayor Maloney Samaco. This fight served as the main event of Maasin Pride IV. The 18 year old Pagara improves to 14W-0L, 10 KO?s.

Albert?s brother, Jason ?El Nino? Pagara, was given a special award and cash incentives before the main event for winning the WBO International jr.welterweight title last August against Mexican Rosbel Montoya. In the undercards, Jun ?Flash? Intor used an array of brutal body shots to stop Junel Busano in the 4th round. Time 2:59.
