The huge crowd of predominantly Filipino fight fans at a bigger venue in the International Trade Center in Dubai
have been promised a night of knockouts by the deadly Pagara brothers when they headline "Duel in Dubai 2" on Friday
night Manila Time.
IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight champion Prince Albert Pagara and elder brother and light welterweight Jason Pagara
will clash with two Mexican warriors but have indicated they are not awed by the reputation of the Mexicans and have promised
to provide the fans with knockout victories that would make their day in a fight card to be telecast "live" on Sky Cable pay-per-view with a delayed telecast on ABS-CBN Channel 2 at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday.
ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer who is in Dubai and will be joined later tod ay by his respected father and boxing patron Tony Aldeguer, said earlier that "The demand is overwhelming for this fight and we already doubled the capacity of the venue especial since the popular Pagara brothers are headlining the card" even as he said "This will surely be a spectacular fight card."
Aldeguer made it clear that "Each of the Pagara brothers' fights will play a major role in their careers because a win will put them in ALA Promotions inaugural boxing event to be held at at the Stubhub Center in California on October."
The Pagara brothers are considered promising world title contenders. Albert (23-0, 16 KOs), ranked No. 5 in the IBF, will put his IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight title on the line against Mexican knockout artist Jesus 'Chito' Rios (31-7, 25KOs) in the main event.
Prince Albert who had a terrific training camp in which he engaged five division world champion Nonito "The F ilipino Flash" Donaire in a torrid sparring session said "Since I finished my training camp and I also saw that Rios' style," said he believes it would be a b ell-to-bell battle and I really have a great chance to win by a knockout."
For his part, the elder brother, Jason (35-2, 22KOs) will try to stretch his winning run in his encounter with Mexican Ramiro Alcaraz (15-4, 9 KOs) in a 10-round non-title bout.
Ranked No. 2 by the WBO, Jason Pagara said "Just keep on fighting and winning, no matter who I face."
Fighting on the same card where his career may end in case of a loss, veteran Jimrex "Executioner" Jaca (39-8, 22KOs) will go up against Mexican Pablo Lugo Montiel (21-5, 17KOs.) in what is expected to be a regular slugfest.
