Aptly named Sala de Armas in Mexico City will host a true war this Saturday night between Mexico and Thailand when determined WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai faces ambitious mandatory challenger Carlos Cuadras.
Srisaket conquered the WBC super flyweight title on May 3rd 2013 by KO over Japan’s Yota Sato, He’s now ready to face this onslaught challenge to come in Mexico. During the press conference the champion promised that he will defeat Cuadras by KO and WILL return to Thailand with the belt.
Challenger Cuadras countered by saying that this is the fight of his life and he certainly won’t waste the chance to win the green and gold belt.
“I’m ready to face the champion. He hits hard but I also have a powerful punch and he will suffer when I KO him!”
The President of the WBC Mauricio Sulaiman said that this will be a great and important fight that will entertain the Mexican people and peoples around the World.
The President named the judges of the fight: Cathy Leonard, Richard Flaherty and Mauro Di Fiore.
The supervisor will be Bob Yalen and the Referee is Jay Nady.
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
