In an all-Argentine showdown, Buenos Aires native Neri \u201cEl Maldito\u201d Romero (19-1, 10 KOs) claimed the WBA Fedelatin super featherweight belt with a commanding unanimous decision over Santa Fe\u2019s Alexis Camejo (10-5-2, 1 KO) on Saturday, August 30, at the Federaci\u00f3n Argentina de Boxeo arena in Buenos Aires. All three judges had it exactly the same: 98-92, a clear reflection of Romero\u2019s dominance across ten rounds.<\/p>\n
Coming off a setback against Russia\u2019s Albert Batyrgaziev in a bid for the WBA interim world title, Romero returned determined to make a statement and seize a regional strap. From the opening bell, he planted himself in the center of the ring and worked with a varied arsenal, breaking down Camejo\u2019s guard piece by piece.<\/p>\n
The pivotal moment came in round three, when a crisp right cross from Romero split open a deep cut over Camejo\u2019s left eye. Blood flowed, but the man from Santa Fe showed grit, pressing on with counters and lateral movement. Still, Romero\u2019s control of distance and his precise, punishing shots carried every frame.<\/p>\n
Down the stretch, Romero managed the fight with composure, avoiding unnecessary risks and sealing a wide points victory that puts him back on track in the regional scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an all-Argentine showdown, Buenos Aires native Neri \u201cEl Maldito\u201d Romero (19-1, 10 KOs) claimed the WBA Fedelatin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-112103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
