Denver ?The Excitement? Cuello of the Philippines and Ganigan Lopez of Mexico had a face to face encounter during the pre-fight press conference held at the Celaya Casino. Promoter Aljoe Jaro informed philboxing that the gathering was attended by 600 to 700 spectators.
Cuello, who also fights under the name Cuello Singwangcha, was immediately recognized by the Mexican fight fans due to his twin knockout victories in their country last year. Jaro also informed that Lopez said that Denver will go through a difficult fight to get the mandatory challenger status.
Cuello predicted that the fight will not last six or seven rounds. Cuello then laughed and did not say who will fall after seven rounds. The official weigh-in for this WBC 105 lb division eliminator in Mexico will be on May 18 (May 19 Saturday Philippine time).
