The boxing scene in Argentina is set for an electrifying night on Saturday, November 16, as two of Río Cuarto’s finest, Adrián “Junior” Sasso and Carla “La Muñeca” Merino, return to the ring in what promises to be a historic event at Club Central Argentino, the heart of Córdoba’s boxing legacy.
Sasso (24-3-0, 13 KOs), a beloved figure in Argentine boxing, will defend his South American Super Welterweight Title while also vying for the Argentine and WBO Latino belts. His opponent, Lorenzo “Neno” Gerez (10-1-1, 6 KOs) from Chascomús, is ranked No. 2 in the country and poses a serious challenge for the Río Cuarto native. For Sasso, this fight represents a chance to add another prestigious title to his resume and cement his legacy in a region known for its boxing excellence.
Meanwhile, in the women’s division, Carla Merino (15-2-0, 3 KOs), ranked No. 1 in the world by both the WBO and WBC in the Super Flyweight category, will defend her Argentine and South American titles against Roxana “Barbie” Bermúdez (4-7-2, 0 KOs) from Santa Fe. The two fighters have met before, with Merino emerging victorious, but Bermúdez is determined to turn the tables this time around.
Also on the card, Nahuel “Caña” García (16-2-0, 15 KOs) will take on Kevin Zarate (9-2-0, 6 KOs) in a highly anticipated Middleweight showdown. García, ranked No. 6 in Argentina, and Zarate, ranked No. 4, will clash in a fight that could propel the winner toward a major opportunity in the division.
Adding excitement to the event are rising stars like Yoselin “la Guerrera” Poma (7-0-0, 1 KO) and Joaquín “El Gladiador” Tisera (2-0-0, 2 KOs), both of whom are looking to make their mark on the national scene.
The event will be broadcast live from 10:00 PM (local Argentina time) on TNT Sports and Space, bringing the action to fans across Argentina and beyond. With backing from Lotería de Córdoba, Casinos de Córdoba, and the Secretaría de Deporte y Turismo de Río Cuarto, this is set to be a night of unforgettable boxing.
