Chavez vs. Cuello

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is ready for his match next Saturday (March 28th) against Luciano Cuello at the Plaza de Toros Monumental in Tijuana. I will be at 100% for my fight against Cuello in Tijuana. I have not seen too much of him, but he looks like a difficult opponent with an awkward style and he seem to throw a lot of punches. …I will be ready for anything and everything from Cuello, Chavez said. More details available at Fightnews.
Ticket information for the event is now available at www.tijuana.gob.mx/avisos/chavez.asp.
JC Jr will be in Los Angeles on Monday, March 23rd, along with WBC super featherweight champ Humberto Soto, WBO super flyweight champ Fernando Montiel, Top Rank’s Bob Arum, and Zanfer Promotions’ Fernando Beltran to promote the Tijuana event. The press conference will be held at the Gold Ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel at noon.
Top Rank may not be rushing to put Julio Cesar Chavez Jr against the top competition. Matchmaker Bruce Trampler told The Ring’s Bill Detloff There’s no reason (to fight a Top-10 guy now). Why? Why does he have to fight Joshua Clottey, or whoever? You’ve got four southpaw titleholders at 154, and Junior’s not good with lefties. When he can still be learning his trade, why give them a big payday? More at The Ring Blog.
