The super bantam category does not have a clear referent that dominates it. It has three champions, Emanuel Navarrete, Rey Vargas and Akhmadaliev, and to them is added Luis Nery. However, none of the three have faced each other and the Cowboy, not to make a fight with any of the champions or with Naoyan Inoue, would jump to the pen. Anyway, whoever asks for a fight with Vargas is the Panterite he just moved up in rank and would rank him as one of the best.
The current champion of CMB talked with ESPN KnockOut and he referred to the request that his compatriot made when expressing that “Luis Nery is not a bad option, I think it can be an interesting fight, he is talking about more, I do not give importance because they are pure talk, as he has no title, all he wants is to make noise, but if it occurs at the time , ahead”.

In turn, he said he was looking for a fight at 126 with Leo Santa Cruz who is already at 130 pounds so he hopes to make one more defense and move up the category after evaluating him with his team and PBC.

“My focus will be on the next fight, but I know there are good rivals, let’s see what comes next. You know that when you are world champion you are the point of attraction for everyone, and everyone wants their chance, there are those who he wins it over there and others who are very bullies “, the boxer expressed to ESPN KnockOut.
It should be remembered that the Mexican 29 years has an undefeated record of 34 won, 22 fast track, and from 2017 He is world champion after having made five successful defenses. However, he does not fight since July 2019.
