Anselmo Moreno-Nehomar Cermeno Bout Eyed For March

By Mark Vester

WBA interim-bantamweight champion Nehomar Cermeno is going to face the full champion Anselmo Moreno in the month of March. The sanctioning organization is pushing for the fight to take place and both sides are trying to work out the details. Cermeno expects a very tough fight. He is open to taking the fight in the champion's backyard.

"We are still looking at where the fight will take place. I'm willing to fight in Panama because it's like my second hime and I've fought there as a professional. But I would have liked to fight here [in Caracas, Venezuela] because I've never fought here as a professional," Cermeno said. 

"Moreno is a great champion. He's very good, very tough, but I have to do my part by coming into this fight in great shape and that's very important. He is an excellent champion but I'm sure that my Olympic experience is going to play a role in the fight. No fighter is the same as the other. In my last fight, against Alex Valdez, he was long and used his range and he gave me problems until the knockout came."
