WOW!!!! This is real good fight and a big test for Marrero! From what I have been able to see Cuellar is very strong so Marrero is going to have to box his ass off!!! This fight right here might be the beginning of his coming out party if he wins convincingly! I can't wait but as a Marrero fan I must admit I'm a bit nervous for him. Cuellar is the same guy who called out Fortuna...he means business!

Really, Cuellar is that tough? Looking at his record, the only time he stepped up he got stopped. Last year had a MD vs 27-32-7 guy. You just hyping up Marrero's sure win?

cuellar lost 1 fight. but that fight was in superbantanweight. Cuella was deshidrated to make the weight. this was an tremendous error of the old Cuellar manager

So a guy who has beaten nobody and is ranked 34rd by boxrec is fighting another guy who has beaten nobody and is ranked 62nd by boxrec for an interim WBA belt. Nice as an 8-rounder, but as a "title" fight? Am sure if either looks good they will be promptly avoided by "WBA super champion" Chris John.

I'm not trying to hype up Marrero at all. I really think he is good and has all the skills to get up there. The only thing he needs is exposure and thus far he has not gotten a lot of that. If this fight happens we shall see what he is capable of and if Cuellar is not much hopefully in his next fight he will be tested to higher degree. Again, it's my opinion that Marrero has the goods but maybe I'm wrong....we'll shall see.
