Can Duarte handle Madueno on 10 days notice?

Miguel Madueno (31-3 28 COs) will be the opponent for light welterweight Oscar Duarte (28-2-1, 22 COs) to step in as the sub after regis Prograis sustained a shoulder injury on February 15 in the Honda -Center in Anaheim, California.

10 days notice

Golden Boy promotions gamble that Duarte can make a transition from the training he did for WBA and WBC 140-Pond Champion Prograis to tackle Madueno on ten days notice. It can be a mistake on their part.

This is not the type of opponent that a fighter should take without a full training camp, but you must respect the tough Mexican duarts to go through with it. This battle will show what he is about and fans give an exciting battle at home. This is a much better opponent than Duarte’s original match against the 36-year-old Prograis, who has not won in two years.

Madueno gave Keyshawn Davis pure problems in a life-and-death battle for the top-promoted fighter on July 6 last to survive volume puncher.

Davis looked like he had a nerve collapse in the ring and tried to handle the pressure and production of Madueno. Keyshawn looked like he had a complete professional wrestling move and threw the rule book at the window.

The Davis Scare

Norfolk, Virginia native Davis, must have been left and right points, but he got the A-side treatment and used the tactics all night against Madueno.

I lost the track how many wrestling moves Keyhawn who used in battle, which should have led to point deductions. At some point, it looked like he was going to use a Sulex against Madueno, and I just knew that it would eventually make the ref the plug to the fight.

It was the strangest boxing game I’ve ever seen, but it gave me a look at Keyshawn and how dangerous he saw Madueno. He went into the competition to intimidate Madueno by placing his fist against his chin during the face at the press conference and did not respect him to get an edge.
