WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno has arrived in Venezuela for next Saturday's title defense against hometown fan favorite, interim-champ Nehomar Cermeno. In the co-feature, former super featherweight champion Jorge Linares will take his first fight since the knockout loss to Juan Carlos Salgado from last September. The opponent is tough veteran Francisco Lorenzo.
"It is my pleasure to come to Venezuela, this is like the ninth time I've come to this country where I have family. When we got to the airport it was bitterly cold," Moreno said with a jacket on.
"But when came outside and felt the environment I realized that this is a lot like my country of Panama. We are going to have a great fight and we are ready to move forward on Saturday."
