Severe Flu KO’s Cano vs. Perez!

Mexico’s Pablo Cesar “El Demoledor” Cano was diagnosed with a severe flu and high fever forcing him to withdraw from his fight with Manuel Perez, which was originally scheduled as the main event this Saturday night.

The fight elevated to the featured bout of the evening will be unbeaten Marco Antonio Periban of Mexico City taking on Colombian power-puncher Samuel Millerthe for the vacant NABF Super Middleweight Championship from the Grand Oasis Resort in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Periban and Miller will square off in a 10-round battle that will be broadcast on FOX Deportes in the United States and Televisa in Mexico.

In the 10-round junior featherweight co-featured fight, recent world title challenger Alberto Guevara battles Jose Alfredo Tirado, who is stepping in to replace Jesus Jimenez following Jimenez being too far off weight to participate as scheduled.
