Scott Quigg wants Nehomar Cermeno

quigg89

By Scott Gilfoid: #3 WBA Scott Quigg (31-1, 2, 23 KOs) is hoping to get a title shot against 36-year-old WBA World super bantamweight champion Nehomar Cermeno (24-5-1, 14 KOs) in the near future.

Cermeno has Quigg’s old World Boxing Association 122lb title that he lost recently to Carlo Frampton last February in a 12 round decision loss. Cermeno picked up the vacant WBA title last June after stopping Jun Qiu Ziao in the 12th round.

Before Quigg can get a shot against Cermeno, he’ll need to wait until he gets his first defense of his title out of the way against Anurak Thisa (17-0, 5) on September 30. Cermeno is reportedly interested in facing Quigg.

Scott Quigg vs. Nehomar Cermeno in 12 more days on April 19th

quigg43By Scott Gilfoid: WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (27-0-2, 20 KO’s) will be making his second defense of his WBA 122lb title 12 days from now against #1 WBA Nehomar Cermeno (22-5-1, 13 KO’s) on April 19th at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

This is a fight that reminds me a lot of the recent Carl Frampton vs. Hugo Cazares matchup, mainly because Cermeno isn’t ranked in the top 15 by any of the other sanctioning bodies at this time, and he doesn’t seem to deserve to be ranked No.1 by the WBA based on what he’s done in the last 4 years. I mean, if losing 5 out of your last 9 fights is what it takes to get you a No.1 ranking by the WBA, then that’s a sad statement for that particular sanctioning body.
