Jason Pagara (C).
Light welterweight Jason Pagara won?t see action on the scheduled ?Pinoy Pride? fight card in Dubai on August 7 and is reportedly being eyed to fight in a big card in the US later this year.
ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer informed the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that they are that pulling out Jason Pagara who was scheduled to fight alongside undefeated younger brother Prince Albert Pagara who will instead be backstopped by two-time world title challenger AJ ?Bazooka? Banal and another rugged southpaw Jimrex Jaca in the Dubai card.
Banal has a record of 33-2-1 with 22 knockouts with both losses in title fights, losing to Rafael Concepcion in a WBA Interim title showdown and then suffering a 9th round TKO at the hands of Thailand?s Pungluang Sor Sungya in a clash for the vacant WBO bantamweight title on October 20, 2012.
However, Banal has fought back and his last win was an eighth round unanimous decision over Indonesia?s Junior Bajawa on March 28 this year.
Jaca is always a crowd pleaser with his aggressive style. His claim to fame is that he gave Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez a helluva fight before getting careless and losing by a 9th round TKO in a face off for the WBO featherweight Interim title on November 25, 2006 at the Dodge Arena in Texas.
