Unbeaten prospect Alexander "El Pollo" de Jesús will face dangerous Adrian Navarrete this Friday at the Antonio R. Barcelo Coliseum in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, on a Telefutura's Solo Boxeo program. De Jesus (17-0, 11 KO's), a 2004 Olympic from San Juan, Puerto Rico, will defend his Latino WBO junior welter championship against Navarrete, from Ciudad Durango, Mexico, who's record is 17-5-1, 13 KO's...

On the real though, everytime I see a PR vs Mexico fight, the PR is undefeated and the Mexican is usually some journeyman.....why?

I mean 17-5 isn't bad but it's not 17-0.

There are a lot of great prospects in Mexico but I think they are mismanaged very badly.

I have said this time and time again and have even gotten some slack from fellow Mexicans on this board but I think Mexican fighters are very poorly managed for the most part.

Look at Margarito and Cotto for example. Cotto was born and bred to fight. He was brought up very carefully, his opponents were picked at the right time and that's a big reason he was undefeated.

That's not saying his opponents were hand picked or anything, I'm just saying his career was managed much better than Margarito's.

Margarito on the other hand was thrown into the fire early on. He became a pro at the age of 15 and was fighting grown men who were veterans already. That's where a lot of his losses came from. Not until now has Margarito fully become the fighter he was intended to be and is reaching his full potential.

It seems as though Mexican fighters are thrown in the water and are told "sink or swim". The ones that swim become great fighters but most unfortunatly sink because of poor managment.

I AGREE with u... and the sad part about that is that sometimes a good boxer with a one single lost will not make as much money or go as far as a undefeated boxer... that why i was kind piss when juan "baby bull" diaz lost is last fight.. such a good boxer and now he got wait more for be considered a elite...

And confidence, don't underestimate that. One loss can hurt a fighter more than you think. There have been many a good fighter that have never recovered from a beating they took or a close loss.

Juan Diaz problem is his style would be better fit if he had power. He just doesn't carry any. He's got a great work rate, great chin but no power. I think he will bounce back because of the person he is but I don't think he's an elite fighter like a Pacman for example. He will have a good career but I don't think a great one.

If he had power he would have been one of the best.
