Madueño-Corrales clash in WBA eliminator

Unbeaten lightweight contender Miguel “El Explosivo” Madueño (27-0, 25 KOs) will face former world champion Jezzrel Corrales (25-4, 10 KOs) in a WBA lightweight title eliminator. The 12-round bout will take place at the Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama on Saturday’s “KO to Drugs” event hosted by the WBA. A win would put the 23-year-old Madueño in line to be a mandatory challenger for the WBA lightweight world champion, which is currently held by George Kambosos Jr. (20-0, 10 KOs).

  • What a joke. Madueño shouldn’t be nor even in the rankings and Corrales the same. Who would want to see any of them against Kambosos? I guess only Gilberto Mendoza

    • the same thing was said about Tank Davis vs UNKNOWN Pitbull Cruz and look what happened… rankings are rankings

      • UNKNOWN maybe just by you, but Isaac Cruz is a well known fighter with solid wins against good competition previous his fight against Gervonta Davis (Francisco Vargas and Diego Magdaleno). That he was a massive underdog and his performance against Davis enhanced his credits is another matter

    • Maybe Madueno is the goods and can fight, but I agree there’s nothing on his record which should have him in an eliminator. Corrales is the same, but the WBA LOVES Panamanian fighters so I’m not surprised about him. That’s a title eliminator between the 11th and 8th ranked fighters. NO WAY. Give me #2 vs #6, Michel Rivera vs William Zepeda.

      • Madueño is a very young fighter with decent power , but against limited opposition. He is absolutely green with countless flaws and clumsy footwork. Now, what Corrales has done since he was flattened by Alberto Machado?.
        I don’t mind, if is possible, Pitbull Cruz vs. Camaron Zepeda, because either one can put a fight against Kambosos, and none of the two the WBA is intending.
