Albert Pagara vs. Cesar Juarez: One of the other fights of this weekend which won't be a very busy one at all will air on beIN Sports Espanol. The fight could end up being the best of the weekend because it features a heavy handed prospect in Albert Pagara (26-0, 18 KO) taking on the always tough and ready for war Cesar Juarez (17-5, 13 KO). The fight is scheduled to go 12 rounds in the junior featherweight division and could provide some post fourth of July fireworks. While many fans have probably never seen the Filipino Pagara fight most are sure to remember Juarez's fight against Nonito Donaire. That fight was awarded Big Time Boxing's Honorable Mention for the 2015 Fight of the Year and earned Juarez a legion of new fans. Pagara is an orthodox fighter with quick hands and a good jab. Behind that jab he will often bring a quick straight right hand and he also has a big left hook that he really loads up on. On defense Pagara still has some work to do and will often just wait behind a high and tight guard but he has shown the ability to absorb punches well. Meanwhile, Juarez is coming off back-to-back losses. However, his loss to Donaire was such a good fight that most fans don't even care that he lost it. Juarez is an orthodox fighter who often squares up too much. He is very aggressive and doesn't mind getting off the canvas to continue fighting. While the left hook of Juarez is decent his best punch is probably his overhand right which he always looks to do damage with. It will be interesting to see how Pagara, the better boxer of the two, handles Juarez's constant pressure. If Juarez can land his overhand right and make things rough fans could be in for another great fight. For his part look for Pagara to use his jab and hand speed advantage to control this fight from the outside. This won't be an easy fight for Pagara but his hand speed will allow him to come away with the unanimous decision win.
