Rising prospect "Prince" Albert Pagara (13W-0L, 9 KO's) of the ALA gym will face Thailand's Tawanrung Eausampan in a ten round non-title bout in Maasin City, Southern Leyte on November 16.
Eausampam, whose record is 5W-0L, 2 KO's on boxrec, has fought exclusively in Thailand, all against Thai fighters. He is ranked number eleven in the flyweight rankings of the Asian Boxing Council (ABC).
Imported Thai boxers have been perpetually losing to here in the Philippines but Pungluang Sor Singyu?s performance against AJ Banal last October 20 gave Thais more than renewed respect from Filipino fans and boxing pundits.
The 18 year old Pagara, who traces his roots to Maasin City, scored an impressive ten round unanimous decision win over veteran Marvin Tampus in Balamban, Cebu last September 28. He has fought in Maasin three times already with all three fights ending by knockout. Albert is the younger brother of WBO International lt.welterweight titlist Jason ?El Ni?o? Pagara.
Also set to see action is the popular ring comedian Jun "Flash" Intor, who will fight Junel Busano of Bohol in a four rounder. Jamjam Ungon of Bantayan Island will face Takaomi Naoma of Japan (4 rounds) and Bohol natives Bryan Lobitania and Michael Berun will square off in another four rounder.
