Nakalabas na sa Stanford Hospital sa Palo Alto, California si “Prince” Albert Pagara matapos sumailalim sa pagsusuri bunga ng 8th round knockout kay one-time world title challenger Cesar Juarez ng Mexico kamakalawa, sa San Mateo.
“Magboboksing pa tayo. Naunahan lang tayo. Ganyan talaga ang boksing, Si (Manny) Pacquiao nga natalo rin. But I will be careful next time,”sabi ni Pagara sa BoxingScene.com.
“WBO #2, IBF #4, WBC #10 junior featherweight ‘Prince’ Albert Pagara has been discharged from Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, California, following his brutal eighth round KO loss to former world title challenger Cesar ‘Corazon’ Juarez on Saturday night,” ulat naman ng Fightnews.com.
“According to ALA Promotions, all the tests, including the CT scan, came back negative. The doctor also advised not to have Prince Albert participate in any contact sports for at least two weeks.”
Sinabi ni ALA Promotions President/CEO Michael Aldeguer na anim na buwang magpapahinga si Pagara para matiyak ang kaligtasan nito.
“It is unfortunate that Albert Pagara suffered his first career loss tonight. What’s important is Albert is okay,” malungkot na sabi ni Aldeguer. “But on a positive note, we’re very grateful with the crowd turnout. We had exciting fights from the first bout down to the main event and tickets were sold out.”
“Overall, it was a successful show – achieving ALA Promotions, ABS-CBN Sports, and TFC’s thrust to stage world-class boxing events all over the world.” dagdag ni Aldeguer. (Gilbert Espeña)
