Number thirteen proved unlucky for long time and now dethroned WBC bantamweight champion Shinsuke Yamanka, but a positive boon via a BOOM for the young, fresh and new victor thus title holder Luis ¨Pantera¨ Nery.
Far from home which is Tijuana, everything worked so well in the land of the Rising Sun for Luis “Pantera” Nery (24-0-0, 18 ko’s) as he systematically and brilliantly dethroned Yamanaka (27-1-2, 19 ko’s) via TKO n the fourth round.
Conquering the WBC championship opens another chapter of glory in Mexican boxing, frustrating Yamanaka’s attempt to tie the historic mark of a Japanese world championship defences. Yamanaka was about to draw Yoko Gushiken record of 13 successful defenses, established 3 decades ago. So near…yet so far.
Nery now stands shoulder to shoulder with Mexican all time greats: Jesus “Chucho” Castillo, Ruben ¨Púas¨Olivares, Rafael Herrera, Rodolfo Martínez, Carlos Zárate, Lupe Pintor, Daniel Zaragoza, Raúl ¨Jíbaro¨ Pérez and Fernando ¨Kochulito “Montiel.
