London, UK (June nineteenth, 2021)– For a overseas fighter to enter the UK enemy territory and win is unbelievable. For a overseas boxer to come back in England and win on the scorecards in enemy territory is completely extraordinary, title or no title at stake. That is the story of flyweight Rosendo Hugo Guarneros. Referred to as “Verdugo” (which interprets from Spanish into English because the hangman or executioner), his 25 bout profession is barely simply realizing its peak at age 30. Guarneros, 19-4-2 with 9 knockouts, Puebla, Mexico, would possibly get a second shot at IBF World Flyweight Champion Sunny Edwards of London, owing to distinctive circumstances.

After dropping his professional debut, Guarneros immediately went undefeated in his subsequent 16 bouts. Guarneros went 4-1-1 in his subsequent six bouts, together with a break up choice win, a break up choice loss, and a break up choice draw. Guarneros then moved as much as ten spherical standing, dropping two ten spherical choices, then profitable a ten spherical choice, all to prime flight opposition.

Whereas his first try to win the Worldwide Boxing Federation Inter-Continental Flyweight title to Sunny Edwards in England resulted in loss by choice, Edwards is 16-0 and holds the Worldwide Boxing Federation World Flyweight title. The 2019 loss to Edwards was the equal of a world title eliminator. Guarneros received two bouts over Jonathan Mora in Guadalajara in 2018. What occurred subsequent with Frank was a repeat.

In December 2020 and June 2021, Guarneros traveled to Sheffield, United Kingdom, to combat contender Tommy Frank twice. Frank, then 13-0, retired after eight rounds with an injured left shoulder of their bout for the IBF Inter-Continental belt. This upset brought on a rematch on June 18, 2021. Guarneros had two earlier journeys combating expertise in the UK (together with his earlier bout with Frank), and took it to the 12 spherical distance of their second confrontation by transferring ahead with nonstop strain. The very fact one decide scored the bout for Frank, who didn’t deserve it, is a reminder of how difficult it’s to try to beat a promoter’s fighter on their residence territory. For a overseas fighter to enter Nice Britain towards an undefeated prospect and win twice over the prospect in a six months span in title bouts of any form, is an effective poke.
