ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer plans a blockbuster fight card titled ?Stars of the Future? at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu on February 27 featuring three of the young rising stars of the ALA Gym including Prince Albert Pagara, Mark ?Magnifico? Magsayo, Kevin Jake ?KJ? Cataraja and possibly Melvin Jerusalem.
Prince Albert and Magsayo who were described by Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire and his father/trainer ?Dodong? Donaire as ?the future of Philippine boxing? put on a scintillating display in ?Pinoy Pride 33? at the StubHub Center in Carson City, California with undefeated IBF International super bantamweight champion Prince Albert and unbeaten IBF Youth world featherweight champion Magsayo scoring explosive victories over touted opponents. 21 year old Prince Albert won the vacant WBO Youth super bantamweight title with a 6th round knockout of highly fancied Nicaraguan William Gonzalez who was dropped in both the 2nd and 6th rounds before he was counted out at 2:20 of the sixth by referee Jack Reiss.
20 year old ?Magnifico? Magsayo lived up to his name with a stunning 1st round knockout of Mexico?s Yardley Suarez to win the vacant IBF Youth featherweight title.
20 year old Kevin Jake ?KJ? Cataraja followed up his 6th round KO win in his pro debut with a 4th round TKO over Faris Nenggo when the fight was stopped after the Indonesian had a significant laceration on his left eyebrow which was caused by a punch.
Nenggo had registered a big 4th round TKO win over former WBO minimumweight champion Merlito Sabillo and was expected to provide a stiff test for Cataraja who used his hand-speed, terrific combinations and excellent movement to batter the Indonesian fighter.
21 year old Melvin Jerusalem who was unbeaten in eight fights with 7 knockouts hammered Philippine champion Cris Omayao to score a smashing 2nd round knockout to earn the admiration of fight fans at the Hoops Dome in Lapu Lapu City.
