Carlos Baldomir Preparing For Return To Ring This Year

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (August 28, 2008) – Sycuan Ringside Promotions announced today that former World Boxing Council Welterweight Champion Carlos Baldomir is presently in training camp in the U.S. preparing for a major fight later this year. Baldomir, (44-11-6, 13 KO’s) from Argentina—who hails from the same hometown as the late, great World Middleweight Champion Carlos Monzon—is hopeful of being pitted against one of the top welterweights in his division, namely Margarito, Clottey or Cotto.

He had his 30 minutes of fame and he's still sticking around? :doh:

 

Baldomir-Margartia would be an excellent match-up.
Both are basically the same kind of fighter: slow,determined, with porous defence, but unrelenting pressure....

 

I actually wouldn't be shocked if Cotto fought Baldomir in a comeback fight.

 

It would be good target practice that's for sure.:bears:

 

Yep. Why bother hitting the heavy bag in the gym when you can pound a 'live one' and get paid for it? ::

 

Because Baldomir hits back and Cotto has a glass chin and heart?

 

I don't believe Cotto has a glass chin or heart. On the other Zab Judah does. Even Zab was able to go the distance and win a number of rounds against Baldomir.

 

Baldomir is simply awesome, he may not have any stamina, or any power, or any speed, or any skills, but he sure has alot of,..determination, perhaps?..Pretty boy Floyd beat him by decision and won fighter of the year for it. Vernon Forrest shut him out 12 - zip in more impressive fashion and then went on to lose to Sergio Mora, but you can't take anything away from Floyd..he fought...and I quote Xplosive,.."A prime Baldomir" ...

A prime Baldomir.
