Cantero vs. Unco tops Sampson Boxing show

Argentiean super bantamweights Alan Cantero and Juan Cruz Unco will step into the ring at the F.A.B. Stadium in Buenos Aires on January 31st. The bout will headline a well-matched card promoted by Sampson Lewkowicz and Tello Boxing in the nation's capital, featuring a strong lineup of emerging talent. “Chapu” Cantero, age 24, is a fighter who consistently brings pressure and has proven to be a tough, reliable opponent. After suffering a loss in his professional debut in 2022, Cantero regrouped and has remained unbeaten ever since. Unco, also 24, nicknamed “El Diablo,” presents an intriguing contrast. Paradoxically, despite having one more professional bout than his rival, he could be considered the less experienced fighter, as he has never competed in a scheduled ten-round fight—something he will be doing for the first time on this occasion. 
 
Cantero enters the fight with a record of 10 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, and 6 knockouts, while Unco stands at 9 victories, 3 defeats, 1 draw, and 1 knockout.
