There is a growing consensus that while WBO light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes who is in terrific shape and punching with remarkable power may be too good for challenger and Mexican champion Juan ?Pinky? Alejo, IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight champion Prince Albert Pagara faces an acid test against William ?Cherizo? Gonzalez of Nicaragua.
The 34 year old southpaw Gonzalez has an impressive record of 23 knockouts in 27 wins with 5 defeats.
Gonzalez won the vacant WBA/North American Boxing Organization title with a stunning 7th round knockout of the highly fancied Cornelius Lock on May 9, 2014.
Lock was dropped three times in an action-packed main event and although Lock buckled the knees of Gonzalez in the opening round with a counter left, the heavy-handed Nicaraguan soon turned aggressor and pushed the attack by digging the body and landing heavy hooks.
Gonzalez however dropped a twelve round majority decision in an IBF title fight against Joseph Agbeko on December 11, 2008.
Fight fans will get a chance to size up the tough southpaw on this Saturday?s main event at 8:30 p.m. on Pinoy Box Office (PBO) over Sky Cable with a replay at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The top-rated weekly boxing show presented by Viva Sports will also give fans a chance to look at the intense training of Nietes, Prince Albert Pagara and Mark ?Magnifico? Magsayo and interviews with the fighters along with world No.2 ranked Jason Pagara who will also see action on the card.
