WBA Featherweight champion Jesús Cuellar, started to train with famed trainer Freddie Roach at his Wild Card gym on Wednesday as he awaits for news regarding his next fight after his bout with Abner Mares was suspended.
Cuellar, from Argentina, was scheduled to face Mares on June 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn but the fight had to be suspended last Friday due to Mares’ failure of medical exams before the New York State Athletic Commission.
At this time, whether the long awaited fight with Mares will be rescheduled remains unclear. What it stands cristal clear though is the fact that Cuellar wants to remained 100% prepared for whatever comes next.
By the moment he received the news of the Mares bout suspension Cuellar has had a 3-month training camp held in Big Bearunder trainer Juan Manuel Ledesma and was ready to head for New York.
However, under the new circumstances Ledesma is unable to remain training Cuellar due to previous and unpostponable personal reasons thus both parties agreed to part ways.
“The suspensión of the fight prevents Juan to remain in the US training me. I understand it since all this took us by surprise and he needs to take care of personal issues. But I have to keep working hard as new regarding the new fight date can come any minute,” Cuellar explained.
“As a result, I decided to make a big move by choosing Freddie Roach as my new trainer. Sometimes good things happen unexpectedly but my goal remains the same: knocking out Mares or whoever they put in front of me next. Freddie is one of the best of the world so I am proud that he accepted me as his new fighter,” Cuellar added.
“Training Jesús is a dream come true for me. I know how hard he works and how he commits and I love working with that kind of fighters”, Roach said.
Cuellar had his first training session with Roach on Wednesday afternoon and will have his training camp based in Hollywood along with the rest of his team until fight date. -
Thats terrible news, Roach gonna turn him into a reckless swarmer, would be way better for him to be trained by someone like John David Jackson or Ronnie Shields, if Cuellar can be more technically improved and more composed he can go all the way to the topComment
