A former decorated amateur, Cuevas (17-0-1, 14 KOs) has torn through his professional opposition thus far. Ortiz (37-22, 18 KOs) is a true spoiler, having faced a long list of world champions and undefeated fighters and taken a number of their “0’s.”

 

 

 

Présenté par Kris Lawrence et The Heavyweight Factory, dans l'événement principal de 10 manches de la nuit, Honolulu, Hawaï invaincu Logan «The Korican Kid» Yoon (12-0, 10 KOs) défendra son championnat poids welter junior junior WBO-NABO contre John "L'Empereur" Renteria (16-4-1, 12 KOs) du Panama.

 

 

 

Dans le co-événement principal de 10 rounds de la nuit, Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan Mussa «guerrier» Tursyngaliyev (7-0, 6 KOs) will take on Monteira, Colombie Deivi «El Cabo» Bassa (20-5, 12 KOs) for the WBA International Featherweight Championship.

Cuevas sat down for the following interview during a break in training:

How does it feel fighting in the USA mainland for the first time?

I am happy to be fighting here in Hollywood Florida with my new team. I’m in phenomenal shape and, venir septembre 28, I plan on showing it big time.

 

Que savez-vous de votre adversaire?

I know he’s a tough savvy Mexican veteran, but I will be prepared for anything he brings to the table. Mexico vs PR has always been a real draw when it comes to boxing and I invite all the Puerto Rican fans to come see me fight.

 

How long until we see you in a championship-level fight?

My promotional team at The Heavyweight Factory will take care of that for me. I have full faith in what my manager Alex Troya did when he brought me here. I’m working with my new trainer Jesse Robinson and within 18 mois, I will hopefully be fighting for the world title. These people know what they’re doing and work hard for their fighters. Je suis heureux d'être ici.

 

Describe your style of fighting for the people who will be seeing you for the first time.

I don’t run away. I stand in the pocket and slip and make my opponents pay. I am working on power, explosivity and speed. That’s a dangerous combination. Je peux boîte. Je peux frapper. I will get it on, how ever they want it. I want to be showman and a crowd pleaser.

 

How old were you when you realized you had above average punching power?

I must have been 13 and my coach at the time was telling others that I had pop in my punch. Then it just became part of my arsenal.

 

Would you ever consider an “All Puerto Rico” showdown with a fighter like Subriel Matias or Danielito Zorrilla?

Auntie and Daniel are my friends we spar often on the island. I have great respect for both guys, but once you step in the ring, it’s ‘go time’ no matter who it is.

 

Do you miss Puerto Rico when you train in the US?

I miss my family and my people but I’m a pro who is focused on getting to the top now and now is the time I will stay focused until I get to that big showdown for the title, coming soon to a theatre near you!
