Unbeaten super bantamweight Prince Albert Pagara will headline the ALA Promotions fight card at the San Mateo Events Center in San Francisco on July 9 but no opponent has been finalized as yet.
However, ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer told The Standard ?we are looking at Juan Carlos Sanchez (the former IBF super flyweight champion) and Cesar Juarez who lost his battle for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title Nonito ?The FilipinoFlash? Donaire last December 11 in Puerto Rico and then dropped a ten round split decision to Giovanni Delgado last March 5 on the Antonio Margarito undercard.
He also informed The Standard that Chris Avalos who will battle another promising, unbeaten ALA fighter Mark ?Magnifico? Magsayo in a featherweight clash on the undercard of the big Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire title defense against No. 4 ranked former Hungarian Olympian Zsolt Bedak at the Cebu Sports Center on April 23 ?has signed the contract already so it?s a done deal.?
Aldeguer said Avalos ?wants to be in Cebu a week before the fight? which heightens interest in a crucial showdown for Magsayo.
He also told us that he and Zanfer Promotions have ?verbally agreed? on a title defense by WBO light flyweight champion Donnie Nietes, the longest-reigning Filipino world champion against Mexican Raul ?Rayito? Garcia, the twin brother of Raul Garcia Hirales from whom Nietes won the vacant title in Bacolod City on October 8, 2011.
?Rayito? Garcia is aiming to avenge his twin brother?s loss when they face off in Bacolod City on May 28 where the title fight will be held in response to numerous requests by the hometown fans of Nietes.
Aldeguer also informed The Standard that he is working on a title rematch between Milan Melindo and champion Javier Mendoza either in Mexico or on the undercard of the Nietes-Garcia title fight onJuly 28 in Bacolod City.
Melindo lost by a 6th round technical decision to Mendoza last May 30.
