WBO #12-rated Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 KO) 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 Campion mondial Hiroto Kyoguchi (8-0), in the eighth round of their title fight in Japan.

All three of (imaginat la stânga) Buitrago’s career losses have been to world champions, inclusiv o pereche Thammanooon Niyomtrong (11-0) în 2016 și 2014, atât prin intermediul 12-rotunde decizii unanime în Thailanda pentru titlul interimar WBA. Buitrago luptat o ruptură de 12-a rundă atrage 2013 to then-WBO Minimum World Champion merlito Sabillo (12-0) în Manila, Filipine.

Acosta (17-1, 17 KO), who will be making his first world title defense against Buitrago, at home in Puerto Rico, a capturat vacant titlul WBO decembrie anul trecut la faimosul Madison Square Garden, când a scos Juan Alejo (24-4-1), din Mexic, în 10^lea rotund.

“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, așa să fie, 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.”
