Guevara 110.5 Lbs. At 7-Day Check For Claveras Clash

•Apr 4, 2015

Pedro Guevara is ready for the first defense of his junior flyweight crown, as he faces Philippines Richard Claveras on April 11 at home in Mazatlan, Mexico. The recently-crowned titlist was obligated to weigh in as part of the World Boxing Council (WBC) seven-day pre-fight weight check. Fighters competing in a WBC-sanctioned bout are not permitted to weigh more than 10% of the contracted weight 30 days out from a fight, and no more than 5% at the seven-day point. Guevara held an open ceremony on Saturday at home in Mazatlan, clocking in at 110.5 lbs, well within the 113 lb. limit (rounded slightly down as 5% of the 108 lb. division limit) in which his weight needed to be ahead of next weekend’s title fight.

Details of the supporting cast continue to trickle out for Pedro Guevara’s homecoming bout, as he faces unbeaten Richard Claveras on April 11 at Centro de Conveciones in Mazlatán, Mexico. The bout marks the first defense of the junior flyweight belt Guevara won on the road with a 9th round stoppage of Akira Yaegashi last New Year’s Eve in Japan. In the evening’s co-feature, Jessica “Kika” Chavez takes on Philippines Norj Guro (7-4-1, 4KOs), which gives the show a recurring theme of Mexico vs. Philippines. Guro fights outside of Asia for the first time in her young career, entering the bout having managed just two wins in her last seven starts. Chavez (21-4-3, 3KOs) is coming off of a 10-round points loss to Ibeth Zamora last November.

Guevara Faces Unbeaten Richard Claveras, 4/11 In Mexico

•Mar 24, 2015

With less than three weeks to go before fight night, Pedro Guevara finally has a challenger for his April 11 headliner in Mazatlan, Mexico. The recently crowned junior flyweight titlist will make his first defense versus unbeaten Filipino knockout artist Richard Claveras. The bout will air live on Televisa in Mexico. Claveras (12-0-2, 12KOs) fights outside of the Philippines for the first time in his young career, having just recently celebrated three full years in the pro ranks. The 25-year old contender is coming off of a 1st round knockout win this past January in Manila. The visiting challenger has scored 10 straight knockouts, having never been extended beyond eight rounds. That part, more so than his level of competition, is what caught the eye of the defending titlist. "The only thing I know about him is that he is a strong fighter, possessing the type of punching power that has allowed him to win all his fights by knockout," notes Guevara (24-1-1, 16KOs).
