Panamanian star Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno (33-1-1, 12KOs), the bantamweight champion of the World Boxing Association, is likely going to make his eleventh defense on October 20th at the Barclays Center in New York City. Moreno's co-promoter, Carlos Gonzalez, says Moreno will defend his title in October at a new stadium in New York. Golden Boy Promotions, who handle Moreno in the United States, are planning a big event for their debut event at the venue.

This might be against Agbeko, if he wins against Domingo.

That would be awesome.

This is really good news, more exposure + a good performance should = the P4P recognition that Chemito deserves. My only worry is that there doesn't really seem to be many people left at 118 who would do. Roman mentioned Agbeko, OK, that's a solid matchup, but that fight hardly gets people too enthused. If Donaire's busy with Mijares, why not try to get Arce?

Dude, Mares is at 122 and hunting more popular fish.

Arce is with Top Rank? And, pretty popular. No way Bob Arum makes that fight. Plus he is saving Arce for Donaire.

Exactly "just fight Mares." You should ask yourself why isn't that fight being made, who is to blame, and why did Mares leave 118 while Chemito is there.?

[Roman Moreno]

That would be awesome.

He is the only fighter right now at 118 that means anything. That would basically be for the lineal title.

Agbeko is the only name guy lefl at 118 so it has to be him. I don't see why Golden Boy wouldn't look at his direction. And, after that he can move up to 122.

I would have like for Golden Boy to keep Moreno more busy though. They should have put him in a fight like in July too. Maybe on the undercard of Broner-Escobedo.

Fair enough, forgot that Arce was with Top Rank. In which case Moreno-Agbeko's a really good right. If he wins, roll on 122; he's in with Donaire, Rigo, Mares and Nishioka (maybe) there. 122 could become a gem, if the fights get made. And Mares could have fought Moreno, sure, but I think apportioning actual blame on either side is a little harsh given that Mares was remathcing Agbeko and then got handed a dream opp for the WBC belt at 122, you can't really expect him to turn that down.

No, Mares doesn't deserve the blame. I'm pretty sure Mares would fight him.

It's Golden Boy who doesn't want to make that fight. They see Mares as a potential ticket seller, not sure if they see that in Moreno. They both are promoted by Golden Boy. If Golden Boy wants to make it they could have fought last month or next. But, Golden Boy doesn't want to make it...Not now at least. Lets see if they make it before the 4 fight deal is done with Moreno.
