Mexico’s rugged Cesar Juarez, who engaged five division world champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire in a brutal war in the second half of their fight for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title but lost by a twelve round unanimous decision after being dropped twice in the 4th round, plans to overwhelm unbeaten Prince Albert Pagara when they clash in San Mateo Events Center in California this July.
Juarez at the same time expressed the hope that Pagara “stands to exchange punches like Donaire and the fight turns out to be a war.’
The aggressive Mexican fighter in answer to a series of questions posed by ALA Promotions by email said it has been “a very strong and intense training. Its been great camping in Mexico City .”
Juarez conceded that while Prince Albert Pagara “ is a great prospect he hasn’t fought anyone known yet.”
After watching videos of Pagara’s fights, the Mexican slugger remarked that Prince Albert “ is a quality fighter with a good style and never misses a punch but when he gets attacked he doesn’t know what to do and my style is to attack and attack and to overwhelm my rivals by throwing a lot of punches.”
He claims his advantage over Pagara was his “belligerence and his Mexican warrior spirit.”
In his written answers to a series of questions coursed through ALA Promotions who is promoting the fight card in cooperation with the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN, Juarez said he is “very motivated and his plan is to win , go out and give everything I have and the fight will end with me as the winner either by a knockout or decision . But I will win.”
Juarez who was ranked No.1 when he battled No. 2 Donaire in San Juan, Puerto Rico who built up an early lead with his two knockdowns in round four but Juarez stayed in the contest largely on guts and his intense aggression in the middle rounds busted up Donaire who however. Came back with some big shots in the championship rounds to regain control en route to a win by scores of 116-110 on the cards of judges Jose Roberto Torres and Nelson Vazquez and by a 117-109 margin on the scorecard of Gerardo Martinez.
Juarez conceded he lost the fight but complained it wasn’t by such a big margin.
Juarez dropped a close split decision over ten rounds in his last fight against countryman Giovanni Delgado on March 5, 2016 in the Mexico City Arena.
A report from ringside said Delgado gave a good showing in their featherweight clash with “Sprinkles” Delgado being the more accurate in his attacks with Juarez getting hit on the face often.
Juarez had a big eighth round when he connected with a powerful straight right and an overhand left to the face. With the win Delgado improved to15-4 with 9 knockouts while Juarez maintained his 122 pound record of 17-5 with 13 knockouts.
