Philippines will continue to be one of those countries which will be known due to its list of hard hitting and excellent boxers. To name some famous ones, you can hear the names of the most popular during this era, the world known slugger Manny Pacquiao, Nonito Donaire, Brian Villoria etc.. However, looking forward to the present young batch of Philippine boxers, there are some names worthy to mention. Among this batch, I would like to share with you three names which came out as very promising and hopeful of also becoming great in the near future.
These three boxers are still on their prime and if given the right direction as well as the opportunity to hit big time, I believe that they have a big chance to make it. These three are the Pagara brothers, known for their hard hitting and aggressive stances and the well rounded young boxer Mark Magsayo.

1. Jason Pagara- he is the older brother between the Pagara brothers. With his father, Reynaldo, as his source of encouragement and with his strong following of the likes of Manny Pacquaio and older ALA Stable boxers AJ Banal and Boom Boom Bautista, he started boxing at an early age, 8 yrs. old. He prided himself with his record of 37 wins with 23 knock outs and 2 defeats at the hands of Filipino boxer Rey Anton Olarte in 2007 and Mexican boxer Rosbel Montoya. His defeat with Montoya was vindicated when he demolished him in their return fight winning the bout in the 6th round. His latest triumph was just last month on their first US debut (ALA Boxing stable). In front of a huge US crowd and Pinoy fans, he showed his brilliance in the ring by sending his opponent, Nicaraguan Santos Buenavides, to the canvass several times.
2. Albert Pagara- nicknamed as the Prince, Albert is the second of the popular Pagara boxers in ALA Boxing Stables. His present record of 25 wins (18 by knockouts) with 0 defeat is indeed a very promising one. He is well known for his very powerful right hand though his left hand is also touted as equally powerful. His latest stint was in Dubai World Trade Center when he masterfully defeated Mexican opponent, Jesus Rios on the very first round.

3. Mark Magsayo- although considered by many as still a novice on the professional level of boxing but he already made some news with his outstanding stoppages with the likes of John Rey Melligen, Ernesto Tata Fontanilla, and the visiting Korean boxer Moon Sun Jung. He won all his fights in such a masterful fashion that many are predicting a bright future ahead of him.
Philippines would never run out of promising and talented fighters and it is such a pleasure to know a few of them through those mentioned beforehand. Still, as they continue to search for that big time glory, there is still a long way to go for these three talented ALA Stable boxers.
