Notes

One of the three instances in which Pagara (L) dropped Sapapetch in Round 2.

Jason Pagara 23-1 (12 KOs) vs. Sapapetch Sor Sakaorat 20-6 (11 KOs)
Pagara is coming off a second-round technical knockout win of South Korean Young-Bin Kim more than 3 months ago, while Sapapetch is coming off a first-round technical knockout win of fellow Thai Chingchai Kiatpracha 2 months ago.
Pagara carries a 2-0 (1 KO) record against Thai fighters and a record of 7-0 (4 KOs) against non-Filipino opponents coming into the fight.
Sapapetch enters the fight 0-4 outside his native Thailand, 0-2 when fighting in the Philippines, and 0-1 against Filipino fighters.

Pagara dominated the first round against a hesitant and confused Sapapetch. In Round 2, a left hook to the body dropped Sapapetch for the first time. Another left hook, this time to the jaw, dropped Sapapetch for the second time. And finally, another body shot by Pagara dropped Sapapetch for the third and final time in the second round, as referee Tony Pesons stopped the one-sided fight.
With the win, Pagara gets his 12th straight win and his 3rd straight coming by way of knockout since his first and only loss about 3 years ago. With the fight ending at 2:24 of Round 2, this becomes the earliest knockout loss to date for Sapapetch in his now 27-fight career.
