Nicaraguan challenging WBO light flyweight champion Tito Acosta

La Batalla, יוני 16
Live on PPV from Puerto Rico

סן ג'ואן, פורטו ריקו (יוני 4, 2018) – Nicaraguan challenger קרלוס “Chocorroncito” Buitrago hopes his fifth world title shot, יוני 16 against World Boxing Organization Light Flyweight World Champion Tito Acosta, כִּתרוּת “La Batalla” to air on pay-per-view, live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Center in Hato Rey, פורטו ריקו.

 

La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago is presented by Miguel Cotto Promotions, which is owned and operated by the first Puerto Rican boxer to capture world titles in four different weight classes, היכל המשחק האחרון מיגל קוטו, and H2 Entertainment, in association with DIRECTV Puerto Rico.

 

 

 

Integrated Sports Media will distribute the La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago card in the United States on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view via iN Demand, חדות, DIRECTV, DISH and live-streamed worldwide (excluding Puerto Rico) ב FITE.TV אפליקציה ואתר (www.fite.tv), החל משעה 9 p.m. ו / 6 p.m. PT, עבור קמעונאית הציע מחיר של רק $34.95.

 

 

 

WBO #12-rated Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 קוס) has had four unsuccessful title challenges, losing three times, along with one draw. He was stopped for the first time in his last fight this past December, by undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) Minimumweight World Champion Hiroto Kyoguchi (8-0), in the eighth round of their title fight in Japan.

 

 

 

All three of (בתמונה משמאל) Buitrago’s career losses have been to world champions, including a pair to Thammanooon Niyomtrong (11-0) ב 2016 ו 2014, both by way of 12-round unanimous decisions in Thailand for the Interim WBA title. Buitrago also fought a 12-round split draw in 2013 to then-WBO Minimum World Champion מרליטו סבילו (12-0) in Manila, פיליפינים.

 

 

 

אקוסטה (17-1, 17 קוס), who will be making his first world title defense against Buitrago, at home in Puerto Rico, captured the vacant WBO title last December at famed Madison Square Garden, כשהוא חסל את Juan Alejo (24-4-1), של מקסיקו, ב 10ה סיבוב.

 

 

 

 

“I’m not at all concerned about fighting Tito Acosta in his country, basically his ‘hood,” Buitrago said. “I’m used to fighting for the world championship in my opponents’ country, just as I did with Merlito Sabillo, but they robbed me of that victory. I’m working consciously and think I’m in great shape to challenge Tito Acosta and seize the championship.

 

 

 

“Truth be told, I’m in perfect shape, I will fight a smart fight; if Acosta wants to battle, שיהיה, I’m used to battling hard hitters. If he comes into the ring with the intention to battle, I will fight intelligently.”

 

 

 

Naturally, the 26-year-old Buitrago believes his experience advantage will be the difference versus Acosta, allowing him to bring the world title back to Nicaragua, like Puerto Rico, a hotbed for boxing.

 

 

 

“I think that this being my fifth world title fight, I have experience on my side,” Buitrago added. “I’m relaxed and ready thanks to the training I’ve had in Nicaragua. I’m not sure what Tito Acosta will bring into the ring June 16. I don’t think Tito Acosta is going to learn the necessary moves and techniques in a month. He is a raw boxer who relies only on the strength of his blows. I don’t believe that he will bring anything new into the ring and if they change him, the only thing that will accomplish is confuse him. I’m always emphasising my preparation. I’m coming in smart because I’m bringing the ability to work round for round. My only objective is to bring the world championship to Nicaragua.

 

 

 

“I think’s it’s great initiative on Miguel Cotto’s part to promote new boxing talents. I’m grateful to Miguel Cotto and his team for giving me the opportunity to be the one to challenge Tito Acosta in his first world title defense.

 

 

 

“I’m a likeable boxer, people like to watch me fight. I’m known for being a smart fighter that, when fighting is needed, I fight, and when boxing is needed, I box. We work on half and short distance, which is why I believe people like to see me fight. All those who attend or watch on pay per view will enjoy a great fight.”

Buitrago also fought a 12-round split draw in 2013 to then-WBO Minimum World Champion מרליטו סבילו (12-0) in Manila, פיליפינים.

“Chris Buitrago is a great fighter and tough challenger, who has the highest level of experience, and that motivates me,” Acosta spoke about his Nicaraguan opponent. “People want to watch a toe-to-toe brawl and he brings that style. I think he will brawl with me, but I’ll be ready for any style he brings June 16ה.

“I work for the KO (יש לו 17 knockouts בו 17 נצחונות) because that’s what fans like. I work for that every fight and I will win June 16ה בנוקאאוט!”
