SANTISIMA, PAGARA AND CATARAJA IN WBO TITLE FIGHTS IN PINOY PRIDE 45

Triple WBO championships will entertain boxing fans in ALA Promotions' Pinoy Pride 45 at the IEC Convention Center in Cebu City on Saturday, November 24 as reported by ABS-CBN Sports. The main event will feature the WBO Oriental super bantamweight championship between defending champion Jeo "Santino" Santisima of Masbate against challenger Mexican Victor Uriel ?Yuca? Lopez.

In the supporting event, ?Prince? Albert Pagara of Maasin City, Southern Leyte will defend his WBO intercontinental super bantamweight championship versus Ghanaian George Krampah.

Completing the triple header is fast rising ALA Promotions prospect Kevin Jake ?KJ? Cataraja who will taste his first championship bout when he brawls with Mexican Victor Hugo ?Scarface? Reyes for the vacant WBO world youth super flyweight championship.

The 22-year old Santisima (16-2, 14 KO) is on a remarkable 14-fight winning streak. He got his first title last June with a third-round TKO victory over Likit Chane of Thailand to win the WBO Oriental super bantamweight title.

Mexico City?s Lopez (13-6-1, 6 KO) will attempt to grab the WBO Oriental belt from Santisima. He has good credentials as he is the WBC Latino super bantamweight interim champion.

Pagara (30-1, 21 KO) continues his journey on the road to redemption in the super bantamweight rankings, riding an impressive four-fight winning streak. The 24-year-old Pagara regained the WBO intercontinental super bantamweight title with a three-round demolition of Laryea Gabriel Odoi of Ghana before his hometown fans in Maasin City in Pinoy Pride 44.

Krampah (14-3, 12 KO), also from Accra, Ghana is a former Ghanaian featherweight champion and a WBO Africa featherweight championship contender.

The 23-year old Cataraja (8-0-0, 7 KO) is one of ALA Promotion?s most promising and exhilarating young fighters. A knockout specialist, Cataraja is a former Palarong Pambansa gold medalist and an amateur sensation winning several national boxing championships.

Reyes (9-1-1, 7 KO) of Tijuana also has a stunning KO rate like Cataraja. The Mexican is also aiming at his first championship title.
