Jason and Albert were swarmed by Filipinos after their Duel in Dubai 2. Maasinhons took endless selfies and tagged several of these pics in the social media. It was their first international fight and it ushered a big American dream.
October 17, 2015. They are going to conquer America in the fight card "Pinoy Pride 33: Philippines vs. The World." They will fight in StubHub Center in Carson, California.
The opponents were set. Pagara Brothers vs. Nicaraguans. Albert Pagara vs. William Gonzalez for the WBO international super bantamweight championship. Jason Pagara vs. Santos Benavides in a 10-round light welterweight tussle.
Benavides was born and is living in Chontales, Nicaragua. "El Toro" is 33 years old and has a record of 25-7-2 with 19 KO wins and 5 KO losses.
He was a former Nicaraguan lightweight champion and WBA Fedelatin super featherweight champion. He lost in a WBO NABO super featherweight title fight. But he won the WBA Fedecentro super featherweight championship.
He lost in his fight for the interim WBA world superfeatherweight title fight to Bryan Vasquez of Costa Rica. It started the defeat in five successive fights before winning his last two bouts.
Benavides has a 56% KO rate compared to Jason's 58%, almost even. The Nicaraguan is 5'7" but is listed as a super welterweight while "El Ni?o" at 5'8" is a junior welterweight. They will box at Jason's weight division.
Gonzalez was born and is living in Managua, Nicaragua. "Chirizo" is 34 years old and has a record of 27-5-0 with 23 KO wins and 2 KO losses.
He was a WBC FECARBOX superflyweight champion. He lost in a fight for the WBO NABO bantamweight champion but won the Nicaraguan bantamweight championship.
He was defeated by Joseph Agbeko for the IBF world bantamweight title. He won instead the WBO Latino bantamweight belt. His latest win was for the WBA NABA featherweight crown over Cornelius Lock by 7th round KO.
Gonzalez has a KO rate of 72% compared to Albert's 71%, almost equal too. The Nicaraguan is bigger at 5'8" and he is a natural featherweight while "Prince" is a junior featherweight.
The Pagara Brothers are now training under world class trainer Freddie Roach. They train and fight in California, second to Nevada as the boxing heart of the world.
With the full support of the number one boxing company in the Philippines ALA Boxing Promotions and the Aldeguer family, Albert is touted as the next Manny Pacquiao and Jason is not far behind.
The Pagara Brothers are now boxing from an obscure seaside village to the Golden State. From the Philippines to the World.
Good luck Albert and Jason Pagara!
