Miguel Madueño vs. Jezzrel Corrales Results

Arena Roberto Duran, Panama City, Panama – 12 March 2022

This past Saturday, lightweight contender, Miguel “El Explosivo” Madueño (27-1, 25 KOs), suffered his first loss as a professional, losing a unanimous decision to former world champion, Jezzrel Corrales (26-4, 10 KOs), in a WBA lightweight title elimination bout.

In what was considered an ugly bout, both fighters were deducted a point in round three for dirty fighting. Corrales was deducted two additional points, one in round one and another in round eight. Madueño did his best to apply pressure and cut off the ring against the slick style that Corrales was displaying but was flustered with the movement. Scorecards read 117-108, 115-109 and 116-108, all in favor of Corrales.

After the lost, Madueño feels he has a lot of things to work on and vows to be back stronger than ever.

“It wasn’t my night and I’m going to go back to the gym and work on all the things I know I can improve on,” said Madueño, who is promoted by Thompson Boxing. “Corrales was fighting dirty, so I had to retaliate with some dirty tactics of my own. It wasn’t my best performance by far, but I’ll be back with an improved version of myself. This is just a minor setback”

“Miguel had an off night and I know he’ll be back fighting at the championship level in the future.” said Alex Camponovo, Thompson Boxing’s general manager. “There are some things he needs to work on but I have confidence he’ll make the proper adjustments to become a more complete fighter.”

Miguel Madueño vs. Jezzrel Corrales

Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama – 12 March 2022

Thompson Boxing’s unbeaten lightweight contender Miguel “El Explosivo” Madueño (27-0, 25 KOs) is excited for the biggest fight of his career as he faces former world champion Jezzrel Corrales
(25-4, 10 KOs) in a 12-round WBA title eliminator. The main-event bout will take place this week at the Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama on March 12, 2022, on a “KO to Drugs” event, hosted by the WBA.

Here is what Madueño had to say about this recent training camp, his matchup with Corrales, fighting in his first WBA title elimination bout, and more.

On his recent training camp.

“This has been a great camp, in which I spent a large portion of this camp in the mountains, training hard and pushing myself to the furthest limits possible. This is the fight of my life, and the biggest fight of my career. I’m in tremendous shape and my timing has been spectacular in sparring. I am giving it my all, day-in, and day-out, to get the result I want come fight night.”

On his matchup with Corrales.

“He is really tricky and has been in the ring with some really good fighters like Chris Colbert and Alberto Machado. He’s got good boxing skills and I know exactly what I must do to stop his movement. I see myself as a world champion, an exciting fighter, and someone fight fans will be watching for years to come. This is the first step for me to show myself, my team, and Thompson Boxing the fighter I am, and Corrales is the type of fighter who will bring the best out of me.”

On fighting for a WBA lightweight title elimination bout.

“Everyone knows the lightweight division is one of the most exciting divisions with a lot of great champions that the fans love watching. I am looking forward to winning this WBA elimination bout which will allow me to pursue my dream of becoming a world champion. This will be my twenty-eight professional fight and it has been a long journey, but many fighters never get to fight for a world title, so to get there is a major accomplishment. I’m grateful to my promoter Thompson Boxing and the WBA for giving me this opportunity.”

On becoming Thompson Boxing’s next world champion.

“Thompson Boxing has groomed me to be a world champion and now I want to follow in the footsteps of Timothy Bradley, and Daniel Roman. They have been great to work with to me and I want to repay them by being the next world champion under their banner. It would mean a lot to have grinded with a group of individuals and then turn my achievement into a group achievement.”

Jezzrel Corrales vs. Miguel Madueño

Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama – 12 March 2022

Thompson Boxing’s unbeaten lightweight contender, Miguel “El Explosivo” Madueño (27-0, 25 KOs), who is known for his explosive power and exciting fights, now has the chance of a lifetime as he faces former world champion Jezzrel Corrales (25-4, 10 KOs), in WBA lightweight title eliminator. The 12-round bout will take place at the Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, Panama on March 12, 2022, on a “KO to Drugs” event hosted by the WBA.

The 23-year-old Madueño is looking to change his life forever as a win would put him in line to be a mandatory challenger for the WBA lightweight world champion, which is currently held by George Kambosos Jr. (20-0, 10 KOs), one of the biggest names in the sport.

“I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for guiding my career in such a great way,” said Madueño, who is currently riding a 13-fight knockout streak. “They provided a way to get in me in a position to display my skills to the world. This is my moment, and I will raise to the occasion as I want to be Thompson Boxing’s next great world champion.”

“We have always believed in Miguel since we signed him, and this is what we love doing, putting fighters in the best position possible,” said Ken Thompson, CEO of Thompson Boxing. “Miguel is a true force in the lightweight division, and we are excited about getting him to a point in which the world can watch all of his fights against the top stars of the sport!”

“This is a great opportunity for Madueño, but we can’t overlook the opponent as he is a former world champion and the toughest fighter Miguel has ever faced,” said Alex Camponovo, Thompson Boxing’s general manager. “Madueño’s future could be bright but he has a tough test on the 12th that he must pass and we have all the confidence he is ready for the task.”
