Answer: Hello to the Philippines! I am very thankful to ALA Promotions for bringing me back to the beautiful Philippines. I am excited for the rematch?

Boxing fans were surprised on how handily you beat Jason Pagara during your first meeting. What can you say about Pagara?s fighting style and based on your first meeting was Pagara easy to figure out?

Answer: Pagara is one of the toughest fighters i ever fought. After a couple of rounds with Pagara, i figured out his style and i stayed with it.

Do you expect this rematch to be harder than the first fight and can you give us your prediction for the fight?

?Espera usted queesta revanchaa ser m?s dif?cilque laprimera pelea ynos puede darsu predicci?npara la pelea?

Answer: YES! This rematch will be harder because Pagara does not want to lose in his hometown. I know he will train harder and be ready..That is why i am training hard for this fight. I have 2 brothers that are b?xers also, and we are always training. My father was in my corner the first fight, and he will be there again. My prediction fort his fight, I WILL WIN BY KNOCKOUT!!!! I have more power now..

Your fight record as stated in boxrec.com says you have a W 16 L 3 D 1, can you tell us what your official fight record is as we remember that you corrected that information before?

Answer: My record is ?(36-4-1, 30KOs) Many fights were not put on Boxrec.com because many of my fights were in my hometown or nearby?I was surprised also that those fights were not on Boxrec.com ?But that is my record.

What is your message to ALA Promotions, Jason Pagara and the boxing fans the world over?

?Cu?l es su mensaje a ALA Promotions, Pagara Jason y los
fan?ticos del boxeo de todo el mundo?

Answer: Thanks again to ALA Promotions for allowing this fight to happen, and the boxing fans in the world and philippines will see me win once again. There have been 2 mexicans that won in the Philippines, Fernado Montiel and Myself?The judges in the first fight were very good and honest and giving me the clean victory, this time it will be the same!!!!! But i will win by KNOCKOUT!!!!
