PAGARA BROTHERS TO FIGHT IN HOMETOWN MAASIN CITY By Maloney L. Samaco PhilBoxing.com Thu, 13 Mar 2014  Exciting professional boxing brothers Jason "El Ni?o" and "Prince" Albert Pagara will be featured in the co-main events of the ALA Promotions boxing fight card on April 11 at the Maasin City Gym here in their hometown of Maasin City, Southern Leyte. The action-packed headliners is financed by the city government of Maasin and its called Maasin Pride V. ?It?s a big boxing event because this is the first time that the Pagara brothers will be fighting in Maasin City,? said ALA Promotions President and CEO Michael Aldeguer as quoted by Freeman Cebu. Idol Boxing Series Part 2 featuring Albert Pagara and Indonesian Ruben Manakane originally scheduled on November 15 last year was postponed due to Supertyphoon Yolanda. But this time the two siblings will thrill home fans with their extraordinary ring prowess which damaged a lot of opponents local and foreign. The last time they were in Maasin together was during Pinoy Pride IV last November 15, 2012. It was Albert's fourth fight in his hometown but the first with an imported foe. Prince Albert did not fail thousands of hometown fans by shattering visiting Thai boxer Tawanrung Eausampan during the Maasin Pride IV at the Maasin City Gym last night. A quick solid uppercut on his jaw made the previously undefeated Thai boxer fell like timber to the canvas. Tawanrung was unconscious and referee Tony Pesons immediately stopped the fight at 1:45 of the second round. Jason was given a Special Award for winning the WBO international light-welterweight title before the main event. It was a reunion for the Pagara brothers, their parents and their siblings who were given special ringside seats by the city government. Jason (32-2, 19KOs) still holds the WBO International light-welterweight title and Albert (19-0, 13KOs) is still undefeated since his amateur days. ?Prince? Albert made it a very short workout on Isack Junior of Indonesia, who was knocked out by a left hook and a right straight to the liver. Referee Ver Abainza counted him out at 2:41 last March 1 at the Solaire Resorts and Casino. Albert outclassed Khunkhiri Wor Wisaruth of Thailand by 2nd round TKO at the undercard of the Pinoy Pride XXI at Solaire Resort Hotel and Casino, Pasay City on July 13 last year. This will be a tune-up fight for Jason as he will engage in a more lucrative fight in the main event of Pinoy Pride in Dubai on June.Jason successfully defended his World Boxing Organization title on May 25 at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu City. It was a convincing unanimous decision win over Aaron Herrera of Mexico. "El Ni?o" also successfully defended his WBO belt with a lopsided unanimous decision over Vladimir Baez of the Dominican Republic. It was held during the mega boxing promotion Pinoy Pride XXIII at the Araneta Coliseum on November 30. Photo shows Pagara Brothers with Mayor Maloney Samaco at Maasin City Hall.
