WBC bantamweight silver champion  Luis “Pantera” Nery, closed his preparation in his home city  Tijuana, declaring  himself  in fine fettle for this Saturday, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Pantera” (29-0-0, 23 KO) will defend his WBC Silver crown, against another former world champion, Juan Carlos Payano (21-2-0, 9 KO) on a  card that will be televised in Mexico by Azteca 7, starring  Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman.

After a grueling  camp  in Puerto Rico, Nery returned to Tijuana and completed the final stage of his preparation, showing the skills that characterize him…namely…power, aggressiveness, consistency and accuracy in his punches. He also showed great speed culminating in  marvelous  physical condition.

Nery’s avowed  intention is to regain the WBC world championship, which is  now held by Frenchamn Nordine Oubaali. Nery also seeks to face and fight Japan’s  Naoya Inoue.
