~ Nicolino Will Have To Wait For Rematch ~

Nicolino was hoping to get a rematch with conqueror Alfonso Zamora immediately,
and hopefully for a setting at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.

But, Argentinian Fight Promoter - Juan Carlos Lectoure stated that there was 'no'
rematch clause signed by either fighter in their March 10th bout.

Juan Carlos Lectoure {Argentinian Fight Promoter} >

"There will be no rematch here in Buenos Ares, no matter what 'Nico' says. I have
talked to Carlos Eleta {Alfonso Frazer's advisor}, and he says that the new Champion
will take 3-Months off."

"They then have plans to have 1 or 2 {10-Round} 'non-title' bouts, and will defend
the WBA Title in September or October."

"Nicolino will just have to stay in Mendoza and spend some of his 'bag' {money} and
wait. Maybe he should get prepared by having a 'tune-up' bout or two in Mendoza."

Nicolino Locche >

"I will ready for a rematch, as long as I have 2-Months to prepare. I am not interested
in having any tune-up bouts. If they don't want to bring the Panamanian {Alfonso Frazer}
here to Buenos Aires, I will fight him on a 'Neutral Site' in Central America."
