Montaño debuts on Telemundo tonight

Luis Miguel “El Lobo” Montaño (12-6, 6 KO´s) will get his long awaited rematch vs fellow Mexico City native Carlos “El Fino” Ruiz (15-3-1, 5 KO´s). The two will square off in the Boxeo Telemundo Ford main event this Friday. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds with the vacant WBO Latino super featherweight title at stake. The site of the event will be the Auditorio Blackberry, in Mexico City, Mexico. Ruiz defeated Montaño by split decision more than three years ago.
