Baldomir will face Judah

WBC #2 Carlos Baldomir of Argentina will be WBA/WBC/IBF Welterweight champ Zab Judah's next foe, September 30th in St Louis, Missouri. So far, 34-year-old Baldomir seemed to be destined to be only a perennial high ranked contender, as he has been during the last five years. Yet, after winning a unanimous decision over Mexican Miguel Angel Rodriguez last May 21st in Chicago in a WBC eliminator, Baldomir will now have his long awaited shot. Baldomir's (41-9-6, 12 KOs) last defeat was back in December 1998, when he dropped a decision against fellow compatriot Alberto de las Mercedes Cortes. After that, he won 17 fights and drew the other two.Currently, "El Tata" Baldomir is training in Los Angeles under the supervision of legendary trainer Amilcar Brusa. Baldomir will be joined by his trainer Jose Lemos on Wednesday. "This chance took me by surprise as I expected to fight for the title in November or December. However, I'll be ready 'cause I won't let this chance go. Lefthanders like Judah used to give me some trouble in the ring. But not anymore. Since I'm fighting in such a competitive market as the US you have to learn how to fight against any fighter and any style," said Baldomir on Monday to radio show "Ring Side en el Aire."
