A very disappointed Promoter Aljoe Jaro updated philboxing that his prized fighter Denver Cuello will have his right shoulder treated and most possibly undergo surgery. The southpaw Cuello dropped defending WBC strawweight champion Xiong Zhao Zhong of China in the opening round but he had to endure fighting with an injured shoulder.
Zhong weathered the storm and won a majority decision ? 113-113, 115-112 and 113-110.
Jaro was not pleased with the result but he has accepted it and he heaped praises on his boxer for his exceptional courage throughout the fight despite also bleeding from a cut due to a clash of heads.
Jaro said that Cuello will not be able to fight again until the end of this year.
