"I'LL SMACK CHARLY SUAREZ ANY DAY !"
World #2 Andres Cortes was not impressed with what he saw yesterday from the Philippines' champion Charly Suarez.
But his words of belittlement are surely a bit rich from a guy who vanished from the title eliminator match up without any explanation !!
Andres Cortes sparked controversy on social media by dismissing claims that he's afraid of Charly Suarez, his original opponent for Saturday's IBF title fight in Glendale, Arizona.
Cortes took to the comments section, boasting that he would easily defeat Suarez, even comparing him to the legendary Manny Pacquiao. "You tweaking, I'll smack him (Suarez) any day of the week, (him) and Manny Pac Man. They both old, no difference."
He also targeted Suarez's physical attributes, calling him "a 5'5", 37-year-old" (Suarez is listed at 5'6" and 36 years old on BoxRec).
"He's the easiest paycheck. I've seen him in the gym, and he's a very small old man, just being honest. I"ll send him back to his 9-5 !" claimed the cocky Las Vegas native.
However, Cortes' words are likely to haunt him as Jorge Castaneda, his replacement, suffered a third-round savage knockout at the hands of Suarez.
The victory solidified Suarez's reputation as a potential boss in the super featherweight division, while Cortes' comments have drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike.
Many have questioned Cortes' decision to withdraw from the fight, citing concerns over his credibility and courage. Many proud filipinos had plenty to say regarding the fugitive's snide remarks.
"Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder," said one. "Cortes' comments reek of desperation and insecurity."
"When you start mocking someone's age and physical attributes, it's a sign of weakness.
Suarez proved himself in the ring, while Cortes hid behind words." said another.
Cortes' future in the sport remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – his words have fueled a heated debate in the boxing community.
If he has a valid injury then we wish him a hasty recovery, but it has also been suggested that the evasive Cortes was baking cookies with his mother at the time that Suarez was knocking Castaneda into another galaxy.
