FREDDIE
CUEVAS ANGERED AT JOHN DUDDY’S PLANS FOR HBO BOUT ON SATURDAY AUGUST 5th
(JUNE 8) “He’s in for a big surprise on Saturday night” said Chicago
middleweight “Classy” Freddie Cuevas as he read the report on the net
(boxing site) about John Duddy’s plan to face Giovanni Lorenzo on August
5th on HBO.
“I’ve had a great camp, been at 160 for a week now and am more than
ready to crack this kid, especially when I hear that him and his people
are looking past me. It’s interesting to read this but it just goes to
show how little they
think of me” said a visibly upset Cuevas.
Said Dominic Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions, promoter of
Cuevas for the last eight years, “Freddie’s a real warrior and a very
proud man. He’s accomplished a great deal in his career and anyone
getting in the ring with him
at this point needs to be prepared for a real battle.”
“He’s had a great camp over the last eight weeks at our place (JABB
Boxing Gym) and I know how much this fight means to him in front of a
huge crowd at Madison Square Garden.”
In closing Pesoli said, “Freddie’s built up a huge fan base here in
Chicago and many people have made the trek to New York City this week
and many more will be tuning in to the pay per view.”
Cuevas’s eleven year career is highlighted by an outstanding knockout of
perennial world title challenger Wilfredo Rivera in the seventh
round of their battle in July of 2002. The fight broadcast
internationally on Telemundo from the DePaul Athletic Center earned
Cuevas the junior middleweight USBO belt. After the brutal knockout
Rivera did not return to the ring for three years.
The Cuevas/Duddy fight is scheduled for ten rounds for the WBC
Continental Americas Middleweight Title. It will be the fourth televised
fight of the Pay Per View leading into the main event of Miguel Cotto vs
Paulie Malignaggi for the WBO Super Lightweight Title with a start time
of 9pm EST, 8pm CST. |
