“Saturday, November 2 promises to be a can’t-miss night with two 50-50 fights that guarantee action as long as they last,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “The main event on FS1 and FOX Deportes will have an exciting unbeaten champion in Brian Carlos Castaño looking to climb back into championship contention against Wale Omotoso, who comes forward and refuses to relent every time he’s in the ring. Combined with the Fortuna vs. Cuellar fight, fans at MGM National Harbor aren’t going to want to leave their seats for a minute during this show.”

Fortuna confident of victory

“Cuellar knows that he can’t beat me and knows he didn’t want to take this fight,” said Fortuna. “I’m a real fighter and I bring it every time in the ring. I hope he at least shows up on fight night to take his beating with no excuses.”

Cuellar (29-3, 22 KOs), who also hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina like Castaño, won an interim featherweight title by defeating Claudio Marrero in 2013 and defended it three times before being elevated to world champion with a knockout victory over Vic Darchinyan in 2015. He dropped the title the next year with a split decision loss to Abner Mares and before moving up in weight and losing in a super featherweight championship match against Gervonta Davis in 2017. The 33-year-old Cuellar is seeking to get back into the world title picture after most recently scoring a knockout victory over Carlos Padilla on March 9.

“I’m thrilled to be facing Fortuna because we were supposed to fight back 2013 but it didn’t end up happening,” said Cuellar. “When we were both training in Oxnard we traded some words and there was no love lost. Now, I’m excited to settle everything in the ring on November 2.”

Castaño gives you your money’s worth. He got screwed out of his paper belt and hope he gets another title shot next year. Cuéllar should have retired after getting starched by Davis last year.. Should be a fairly easy UD for Fortuna

UD?

Fortuna screwed himself recently.. Against Easter..

The ref screwed him IMO, it was a bogus deduction. I thought Fortuna beat Easter even with the point off though.
