¡Cuenca se impuso ante De Jesús en Argentina!

El argentino César René “Fred Astaire” Cuenca venció por puntos en un polémico fallo unánime al boricua Alex “El Pollo” De Jesús en un combate por el título latino welter junior de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo realizado el viernes por la noche en Caseros, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Las tarjetas de 116-112, 117-113 y 118-115 parecieron demasiado generosas con el local. El visitante mostró mayor poderío en sus golpes y por momentos aflojó las piernas de Cuenca con golpes al mentón. “Fred Astaire” pareció enmarañar y controlar a “El Pollo” entre el tercer y sexto asalto, pero el boricua pudo establecer claras diferencias en la segunda mitad del combate. Pero los jueces, de Argentina, Uruguay y Brasil vieron vencedor al local por holgado margen. NotiFight.com vio el choque 116-112 para De Jesús. Con este triunfo, Cuenca mejora su historial a 36-0-0-1 sd, con 1 nocaut, y se perfila para combatir por la corona mundial de la OMB.

What about Victor "Vitino" Fonseca? He looks like a top solid prospect.

Out of all these, I think the first to become a champion is Seda Jr. His trainers say he is ready to fight for a title. His opponent will most likely be Edgar Sosa who fights 4 times a year, and if Sosa could get nocked down by some guy with a 43 ko percentage, you know this guy wuill do the same. Hector Sanchez is programed to fight DeMarcus Corley on April 10th.

Jesus Pabon 14-1

one of the quickest and strongest punches for his weight.

I would say Seda and Santiago have posiblities by this year of earning titles, of the list I'll say Carlos Velasquez and Carlos Negron are the most talented.

Saludos boricua, I am going to Las Vegas to watch Cotto vs Pacquiao. I know the whole Puerto Rico will be awake watching this big event. I wish you good luck predecting against all people and I know you will enjoy the same way I will in Las Vegas on November 14.

No tienes a Luis "El Artesano" Cruz - 12-0 9KO en 126lbs. En la isla muchos dicen que el tipo esta duro.
