WBC super featherweight champion Miguel “Alacrán” Berchelt (36-1, 32 KOs) looked sharp and in great shape this week in a media workout at the Caballero Gym in Hermosillo, Mexico. Berchelt is preparing for his November 2 clash against former featherweight champ Jason Sosa (23-3-4, 16 KOs) at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

“I already feel I’m in the best condition and I want to climb into the ring and make the sixth defense of my title in a great fight as are the editions of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico,” said Berchelt. “There’s a lot of talk about a fight against (Oscar) Valdez and I certainly want that fight, but the first thing is to beat Sosa on November 2. We’re always aiming higher. We want to clean out the division and go to lightweight for Lomachenko!”

  • Finally! A Berchelt – Loma fight makes a lot of sense for Loma at this point in time. If Berchelt gets by Sosa, a fight could be worked early next year. The alternative would be Gervonta – which would attract even more boxing fans.

    One way or the other, Loma has to get some high profile fights soon before he will run out of time.

  • Berchelt will have his hands full with Sosa. But if he can get by him, I agree with Stonefree, a fight with Loma or even Davis should make for some great boxing.

  • he will have no problems with sosa. he not in the same level.i would love to see him fight valdez.

  • Berchelt is a good name to make a card attractive in an eventual fight with Lomachenko, but all end right there. Lomachenko would decimate him almost the same way he did to Nicholas Walters. Regardless the disparity of this matchup, is a good way for both guys to get a very decent paycheck.

    • I wouldn’t be surprised if the Gervonta fight would generate double as much cash for both fighters. So, from a financial point of view that fight would make a lot more sense. But either fight would be a good fight, so let’s hope for the best.

  • First guy at 135 to squarely hit Loma on the chin will be the Andy Ruiz at 135 Loma is there to be knocked out we need a slick boxer or Latino to be the first and its nighty night
