“Sugar” Cain Sandoval’s crusade to become a legitimate contender can take a sweet turn with a win against rugged veteran Ramiro Duno when the junior welterweights meet for a crossroads main event on Saturday.
Sandoval (11-0, 9 KOs) could be on the cusp of stamping his status as the latest credible entrant in the 140-pound weight class, while the battle-tested Duno (26-4, 20 KOs) appears to be in limbo with one foot already out of boxing’s door should he succumb to the ascending Sandoval.
