Crowd support is critical for any boxer to accomplish his aims. Win or loss, the warrior owes it to the boxing fans at least for the love they have on the game, and for the prayers they made for the warrior in quest for ring glory.
On this note, ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer announced that ALA Gym champions set to fight on August 30 at the Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino, will drop by SM City Cebu today for a public workout at the mall?s Entertainment Plaza.
The fight trio is composed of the country?s 33rd world champion and ALA Gym?s first, Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes the reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) World mini flyweight king; the charismatic and reigning WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight champion Rey ?Boom-Boom? Bautista, and the recently crowned WBO Asia Pacific Youth lightweight champ Jason Pagara.
Nietes stands to defend his crown from the claim of Nicaraguan and WBO No. 9 contender Eddy Castro. With his dominion also in question, Bautista is also slated to prove his continued claim for the regional throne.
Pagara is a guest fighter in the card dubbed ?WBO Night of Champions,? as the main event opener in a non-title brawl against Thai prizefighter Kongdej Sithtrajtrakan.
After the workout, boxing fans will be given time to question their favorite fighters in a short press conference. Fans can have their photos taken together with the champions if they bring with them their camera. The activity starts at 3:00 PM.
