CEBU
CITY - This fight is not just for the vacant WBO International jr. welterweight
title. Jason “El Niño” Pagara's future as a big fight headliner will be on the
line when he fights Mexico's Rosbel Montoya in a much anticipated rematch of
the fight held last September. Montoya gave Pagara a boxing lesson last year
and became only the second Mexican boxer to win here in Cebu. Pagara will have
to be better on Saturday.

"I reached twelve rounds in sparring and I feel really good." Servania told this writer before the start of the weigh-in.
"I trained for three months. I am in great shape." Pazos said, "Mexico will win over the Philippines."
Jimrex 'The Executioner' Jaca weighed 143 lbs and had to shed two pounds in a hour before being given the go signal by GAB supervisor Rolando Mendoza. Angel "Arcangel' Martinez of Mexico weighed 138 lbs. Jaca is coming from a long lay-off and may be headed for an ambush.
