Irusta and Colque Set for Vacant WBA Fedelatin Super Lightweight Title

Tomás Fermín Irusta and Dante Colque are set to fight for the vacant WBA Fedelatin Southern Cone super lightweight title at 140 pounds on Friday, October 16. The bout is scheduled at Club Jorge Newbery.

The WBA described Colque as a fighter with an aggressive temperament and a proven appetite for hard, physical fights. He prefers to close the distance and cut off the ring.

The WBA described Irusta as a fighter known for his composed style. His defensive fundamentals are solid, the WBA said. He plans to dictate the pace from the center of the ring.

The WBA outlined Irusta’s strategy as establishing his rhythm behind the jab. The strategy involves using lateral movement to disrupt Colque’s advances. It also includes unleashing straight-punch combinations through the middle.

The WBA noted that if Irusta can contain Colque’s pressure with fluid footwork and tactical discipline, the fight could tilt in his favor.

The WBA added that if Colque manages to turn the contest into a toe-to-toe battle along the ropes, the outcome could become unpredictable.
