Andrade & Ornelas Hit Leon,
Mexico
By William Trillo
Super middleweight brothers Librado Andrade and
Enrique Ornelas landed in their home state of
Guanajuato, Mexico on Tuesday and now are only days
away from their homecoming fight in Leon. The tandem
were greeted at the airport by a slew of media and
fans who are excited to see their heroes fight on
Saturday night. Andrade will face Canada's Matt
O'Brien for the vacant WBC Intercontinental Super
Middleweight Title. The co-feature will pit Ornelas
against Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico's Alfredo
Contreras in a 10 round light heavyweight contest.
After leaving the airport it was off to check in at
the hotel where they received a stack of posters
announcing the big card.
It wasn't all play though as the guys hit the gym on
Tuesday night to get in the customary workout and
roadwork. It's going to be a busy week ahead and
Pound4Pound will be there to bring you all the
events leading up to the fight. |
