An Argentine with no power? :-O

This coming Saturday sees everyone's favourite light punching Argentinian Light Welterweight fighting for the 42^nd time in a career spanning back over 8 years. That's right Cesar Rene Cuenca, the man nicknamed “El Distinto” returns to the ring after 7 months out. Cuenca's record looks impressive at 39-0-0-2 though you look deeper and you notice he's fought a lot of nobodies, in fact he's fought a lot of nobodies several times. His most impressive facet though is his KO success, he has scored just 1 KO in his 39 results (he's had 2 No Contests due to head clashes).

Cuenca, currently the #3 ranked Argentinian at the weight according to Boxrec.com is the WBO #2 and the WBC #10 ranked fighter and his up coming fight comes against a giant test in the form of Juan Jose Dias . Dias has the impressive record of 11-10-4 (2) and has only been stopped once in his career so it's fair to assume that he should be going the distance against Cuenca.

Although Cuenca has faced some moderate opponents with semi-decent records the problem is that their records are just generally more padded than Cuenca who really shouldn't have a top 15 ranking with any body. Hopefully the light punching Argentinian ends up being pushed into a fight with one of his fellow countrymen who hit much harder (Marcos Maidana or Lucas Matthysse would be nice) though sadly theirs nothing in it for them when they have title aspirations compared with Cuenca's somewhat yellow streak.

If you love Paulie Malignaggi you'll love Cesar Cuenca!
