Jesús Marcelo Andrés Cuéllar (born 28 December 1986) is an Argentine professional boxer. He held the WBA (Regular) featherweight title from 2015 to 2016.
Amateur career
Cuellar had an amateur record of 230 wins and 10 losses, and was a member of the Argentina national team.[2]
Professional career
Cuellar was trained by former world champion and 2012 Trainer of the Year, Robert García.[3]
Cuellar vs. Marrero
On 23 August 2013, Cuellar defeated Claudio Marrero for the WBA interim featherweight title, in a close fight. Cuellar was the more aggressive fighter and scored a knockdown in the 6th round.[4][5]
Cuellar vs. Mares
On 10 December 2016, Cuellar defended his WBA (Regular) featherweight title against Abner Mares who was ranked #6 by the WBA at featherweight. Mares defeated Cuellar via split decision, scoring 117–110, 116-111 and 112–115 on the scorecards.[6]
Cuellar vs. Davis
After coming off his third loss and 2 years of layoff, Cuellar returned to the ring against Gervonta Davis. On 5 March 2018, the fight was finalized for the vacant WBA (Regular) super featherweight title. And for the fight Cuellar had to move up from featherweight to super featherweight. Prior to the fight, Alberto Machado, the WBA (Super) champion at the same weight class, was inexplicably downgraded to 'Regular' champion, and the Davis-Cuellar fight was upgraded to be for Machado's WBA (Super) super featherweight title. On 21 April 2018, Davis knocked Cuellar down three times en route to a third-round knockout win.[7]
Cuellar vs. Fortuna
On 2 November 2019, Cuellar faced Javier Fortuna. Cuellar suffered his fourth loss as Fortuna dominated and dropped him twice en route to a second-round knockout win.[8]
