23-12.
23-12 and four with seven knockouts has picked up one title after another, while winning 12 out of 12 bouts alberto d’arro.
The golden southpaw currently holds a ubo international and latino super flyweight titles and in his most recent outing on march 24th, he captured wbc regional title at flyweight in mexico, decisioning local man, salvador rodriguez on may 21st, um, sorry on may 21st i’ll be moving down.
Another division to take on another mexican former wbo title challenger, gerardo verde, mourinho, 1719, seven and one with 14 knockouts for the vacant.
Wb.
Sorry ubo international light, flyweight title, as i said in managua, if victorious morales from houston texas could be fighting for the wubo world.
Lightweight world light flyweight title in his very next bout, so a lot more than another belfors collection will be on the line.
It’S good to hear from our friends down at nick at boxing promotions and we’ll look forward to that result as well.
Taking a quick look around the world, we see the the world boxing council have named the opponents pro bellum stars, oshaki foster and noel gever must face next to keep on track for their respective world title shots super featherweight, stylus foster, is the number one contender in The wbc rankings and he’s been ordered to face mexico’s eduardo ramirez number three.
Next, the winner of that fight will be in line face champion shakur stevenson, who won the wbc belt by defeating oscar valdez in las vegas last month.

Illaganga magubo yavor is 26-2 with 11 knockouts wbc silva champion, who fights out of germany is number two in the sanctioning bodies.
Ratings lamichuno, who lost the world champion? Makubo in january is number three, the former world title challenger by the way strengthened his position with the wbc by defeating contender yuri kalenga in february, the ordered fights were announced by the wbc president mauricio solomon on tuesday, so look forward to seeing those guys go at It and the results elsewhere we see that david morrell jr is seeking a fight with david benavidez.
This is everyone in that division.
Undefeated wba super middleweight champ david morrell jr, who’s 6-0 with five knockouts is ready to let the world know he wants the best fights possible as soon as possible.
Morel jr from his training camp in houston, texas, with coach ronnie shields, says a fight with david benavidez is what he seeks most.
He said i look at someone like david benavidez who claims to be avoided, but you never hear mention.
My name says morale jr, who has knocked up five of his six opponents in the pro ranks.
He speaks as though he’s the boogeyman of the division well fight me and, let’s find out he’s chasing a fight with canelo, but i know i’ll give him a beat down.
He’Ll never forget right on after monument monumental amateur career, where he compiled an astonishing record 130 wins only two losses: morrell jr, an international star from cuba, has looked unindestructible in his first six fights.
A professional he’s been on fast track to a world title and captured the wpa super middleweight world title in winning his fifth fight as a pro good stuff.
To hear, and one last quote: i’ve seen every style you can possibly think of in the amateur.
So i know how to beat a guy like ben if he does, who likes to come forward and bang david benavidez is a great puncher with a lot of heart and he’s a warrior i’ll give him that.
But he doesn’t have the skills that i possess.
I’Ll fight david binven anytime anywhere, but he will fight me, that’s a question that fans want to know myself included, but will he fight me now? The world knows i want who i want most, let’s see who the real boogeyman is come to papa david, fair enough.
