Former WBA super bantamweight champion Ricardo 'Maestrito' Córdoba is on the threshold of a fight with the Puerto Rican champion Juan Manuel Lopez, who holds the WBO featherweight title. The fight would happen on April 16 in Puerto Rico. According to Cordoba, the biggest issues with making the fight is the money, and the weight. He says there is "no fear" of going up in weight to fight Juanma.

"Weight is one issue and the other is the purse," Cordoba said. "Think what you want, I will fight."
