Norberto Jimenez: record, next fight and profile →
On May 30th, the Dominican Republic’s Shuan Boxing Company will promote a closed-door boxing event with two World Boxing Association Fedelatin titles at stake. From the Carlos Teo Cruz Coliseum, a six-fight event will be held with all of the relevant safety measures in what will be the beginning of event activity for the pioneer organization amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Norbelto ‘Meneito’ Jimenez hasn’t won a fight in nearly two years, but has a better shot than any other contender in claiming a victory within the next month. The two-time junior bantamweight title challenger will land atop a show being planned for May 30 at an unspecified location in his birthtown of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Jimenez (29-9-5, 16KOs) will face countryman Eleizer ‘El Campeoncito’ Aquino (21-4-1, 14KOs) in a 10-round rematch to their May 2013 clash which ended in a technical draw.
In what was supposed to be a showcase became a big shocker, as former world champion TJ Doheny (22-2, 16 KOs) underperformed and lost an eight round unanimous decision to Ionut Baluta (13-2, 2 KOs). The scores were 77-74, 78-74 and 78-74. Doheny got off to a slow start and then came on too late. He lost a point in the final round, but that penalization did not play a role in the final outcome.
