"Latin Fury 8" which will take place in Tijuana, Mexico on March 28th.
Interim WBO bantamweight title: Fernando Montiel vs. Eric Morel
WBC super featherweight title: Humberto Soto vs. Antonio Davis
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Luciano Leonel Cuello
Four title fights plus Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. versus Luciano Cuello in a battle of undefeated contenders in the main event
Undefeated light middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (38-0, 29 KOs) will face unbeaten Argentinean Luciano Leonel Cuello (23-0, 10 KOs) on March 28th in Tijuana, Baja California, for the vacant WBO Latino light middleweight title.
Chavez, 23, is making a slightly bigger step up from some of the softer opponents that he's been facing thus far in his six year pro career. Without the luxury of any kind of amateur career to speak of, Chavez Jr. is taking the slow approach to his pro career building up slowly against better fighters in small increments rather than leaps and bounds.
Cuello, 24, has good ability but he's faced limited opposition up to this point. His chin may be a question mark, because in his fight against the light-hitting Alejandro Gustavo Falliga in December 2007, Cuello was knocked down twice in the fight. He eventually won it by a 10-round majority decision but it was far from impressive.
