ALA Gym head trainer Edito "Ala" Villamor a former world title contender told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that Jason Pagara, undefeated younger brother Prince Albert Pagara and another unbeaten boxer Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo all went eight rounds against tough opponents in praparation for their US debut at the S tubHug Center in Carson City, California on October 17. Villamor said they all showed they were in "good condition and were impressive in sparring" with WBO No. 2 ranked light welterweight Jason Pagara having a "good workout in which he looked in much better condition than in his last fight in Dubai." He said Prince Albert, the reigning IBF Inter-continental super bantamweight sparred with talented Filipino Marvain Mabait "who always trains at the Wild Card Gym and helps Filipino boxers." But according to Villamor, Magsayo who is the current IBF Youth featherweight champion lived up to his "Magniifico" nickname and was "magnificent in sparring with a Japanese and a Russian opponent." He revealed that WBO light flyweight champion Donnie "Ahas" Nietes, the longest reigning Filipino world champion was scheduled to leave Manila last night and "after a day's rest would begin sparring with two division world champion Brian Viloria" who will clash with newly elevated pound for pound No.1 Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, the undefeated WBC flyweight champion at Madison Square Garden on October 17. Villamor told us that Viloria was "waiting to spar with Donnie" even as he emphasized that "Brian looks great and is determined to win which is very important." He predicted the Viloria-Gonzalez showdown "will be a war." Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
