Cuadras.
Undefeated WBC super flyweight champion Carlos "Prince" Cuadras, is in the final phase of what the WBC describes as ?his meticulous preparation for his title defense against dangerous Filipino southpaw Richie "Magnum" Mepranum in Los Mochis, Sinaloa? on April 23.
The 27 year old Cuadras who is unbeaten with a record of 34-0-1 with 26 knockouts is coming off a twelve round unanimous decision over Japan?s Koki Eto last November 28.
Mepranum who is 28 has a record of 31-4-1 with 8 knockouts and isn?t a big puncher but a talented boxer.
One of his big wins was in a ten round bout against flyweight champion Hernan Marquez on March 12, 2010 in Texas on the eve of eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao?s victory over Joshua Clottey at the Dallas Cowboy?s Stadium over Joshua Clottey.
Mepranum won the vacant World Boxing Union (German version) super flyweight title with a 6th round TKO of Marjun Tabanco on November 14 last year.
The WBC website reported that Cuadras has a ?day shift nine to five...and then some and has been among the jagged mountain peaks of Temoaya, State of Mexico.
Cuadras said "We had the fortune to train for the first time in the new Gym Jose Sulaiman, here in Otomi. First class facilities from which we've drawn a lot of power due to the help of my coaches Miguel Mendoza and "Tyson" Martinez.?
He said "My intention is to make a few more defenses this year and then raid and invade the bantamweight division led by Yamanaka, who's also undefeated."
