ESPN+ to air Mexican show on Saturday

Mexican bantamweight Andres Teran will fight Colombian puncher Yehison Cuello in the ten-round main event this Saturday, Sept. 21st, at Sala Urbana in Naucalpan, Mexico.  Teran-Cuello and additional undercard action will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT. Undercard action includes the return of Top Rank-promoted featherweight Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez (10-0, 6 KOs), who will take on Edgar De La Cruz (9-4, 4 KOs) in an eight-rounder. Teran (14-2, 9 KOs) is a five-year pro whose only losses have come against undefeated fighters. The 24-year-old looks to build off a six-fight winning spree, including a ninth-round knockout against Jorge Orozco in February and a ten-round unanimous decision over Agustin Perez Balbuena in June. Cuello (13-1-1, 11 KOs) heads into this contest following an eight-round points verdict over Jose Santoya in April.

Gonzalez (10-0, 6 KOs) began his 2024 campaign in April with a first-round TKO over Joel Alberto Mora. He made his Top Rank on ESPN debut in July, overwhelming Conrado Martinez with a barrage of power shots en route to a sixth-round stoppage. He signed with Top Rank the following month and earned a third-round TKO win against Damian Alacla on the undercard of the Venado Lopez-Angelo Leo main event in August.
