BOXEO TELEMUNDO FORD to Air Third Fight of Season, 3/20

By: Tyler Peterson Mar. 18, 2015

The third fight of the Spring Season on "Boxeo Telemundo Ford" pits two Mexicans against each other for the World Boxing Council's Latino Bantamweight title: Alejandro "Payasito" Hernández vs. Martín "Pini" Casillas this Friday, March 20 at 11:35PM/10:35C at Mexico City's Auditorio Blackberry. Two of the boxing world's most acclaimed sportscasters, Jessi Losada and René Giraldo, will narrate the action, programmed for 10 rounds.

Hernández (28-11-2, 15 KO) is putting on his gloves for the first time in 2015 after four fights in 2014, when he brought home three Bantamweight titles after defeating Isao Carranza, Filipino Marvin Mabait (KO in the fifth), and Daniel "Bad Boy" Rosas," by referee decision after 12 rounds.

The fight is also the year's first for Casillas (20-4, 11 KO). He took on three rivals in 2014: Russia's undefeated Nikolay Potapov, in Moscow; David "Severo" Carmona, for the WBO's Latino Superfly title; and Víctor Martínez, in a memorable fifth-round KO.

"Boxeo Telemundo Ford" will wrap up its spring calendar with the most eagerly awaited duel of the season: Florida native Daniel "El Alacrán" Lozano against Mexico's David "Severo" Carmona, a 10-round CONTEST to become the WBO's Latino Superfly champion on Friday, March 27 at the Agri-Civic Center in Arcadia, Florida.
