WBO World-ranked Filipino Prince Albert Pagara (L) scaled-in at 126 lbs while his opponent Thailand journeyman Aekkawee Kaewmanee (also know as Patomsith Pathompothong) weighed-in at 124.5 lbs for their 10-rounder Pinoy Pride 41 battle at the plush IEC Convention Center Saturday night in Cebu.
After the weigh-in Pagara and the southpaw Kaewmanee shook hands in a good sportsmanlike gesture; both pro boxers looking in excellent physical shape, ready for tomorrow's rumble.
Pagara (27-1, 18 KO's) is in the process of re-building his boxing career as a 126-pounder after being shocked in eight rounds by rough Mexican Cesar Juarez in mid last year in San Mateo, California; and ravaging the veteran Kaewmanee on Saturday would boost the Filipino's confidence in his fists while improve his standing in the WBO ranking.

Pagara is currently WBO # 13. Two undefeated Filipino featherweights are as well in the 126-lbs world-rankings: ALA stablemate Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo (16-0, 12 KO's) is WBO # 2 and former stablemate (now based in Japan) Genesis Servania (29-0, 12 KO's) is WBO # 4.
Born in Maasin, Leyte, Prince Alber Pagara will have in his corner his experienced trainer Edito Ala Villamor while the 35-year-old Kaewmanee will be assisted by Thai coach former muay thai boxer Kan Hamongkol.
