One of ALA Gym's most promising young fighters, Kevin Jake Cataraja faces Indonesia's Faris Nenggo who has a 4th round TKO to his name against former WBO minimumweight champion Merlito Sabillo last November 14, 2014.
The ALA Promotions - ABS-CBN "PINOY PRIDE 34" does not stop with the two main events in the fights for retribution featuring Milan "El Metodico" Melindo and "King" Arthur Villanueva, who both dropped controversial decisions in world title fights who return to the ring to demonstrate they can come back even better.
Cataraja, the 20 year old protege who won his first bout against Indonesia's Ardi Tefa last July 11 with a smashing 6th round knockout is not seeking vengeance in a battle against the conqueror of his stablemate and friend Sabillo who suffered a nasty gash and couldn't continue giving Nenggo a 4th round TKO in a scheduled ten round bout.
The speedy Cataraja has had an impressive amateur record (ABAP and PRISAA Gold Medalist since 2011) before turning pro early this year, KJ Cataraja is one of the few Filipino fighters to face and win his first fight in a stirring performance against a foreign opponent in Indonesian Ardi Tefa.
Nenggo lost by a 5th round TKO to Froilan "Sniper" Saludar in a clash for the vacant WBO Intercontinental flyweight title last April 25.
