By Jake Donovan - The biggest win of Juan Carlos Payano’s career to date came, strangely, at perhaps the worst possible time. A technical decision victory over Anselmo Moreno last September served atop one of the last shows promoted by the now-defunct Iron Mike Productions promotional company.
Payano had to overcome a severe cut early in the fight to pile up enough rounds to claim the lead by the time the fight was stopped in the 6th round of their Fox Sports 1-televised headliner in Texas. With the feat came the bantamweight title along with the satisfaction of unseating a longtime champion. What also came of the feat was a request to remain patient, with the promise of big things to come.
Patience proved to be a virtue, as his big opportunity has finally arrived. More than 10 months will have passed by the time the Dominican southpaw faces Rau’Shee Warren on August 2. [Click Here To Read More]
