A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Jorge Zárate stars with flair on August 25 Vs Jair Mejía headlining “Talento de barriio”
A battle of Amigos, as Jorge has known his rival for almost 10 years. Friends before and after, but NOT during!
Zárate tops the bill with a way and a will. It’s organized by Chiquita Boxing and the “location of friends who are rivals” is the Marbet Hall. The fun chum broadcast is live by Hi Sports, eight rounds at a catch weight of 53,000 kilos.
“He is my friend, I have known him for many years. He is good, constant and fast. He has experience and I so like that he is willing to compete.
“There was a time when we trained together, he was at the La Guerrera gym and we were gym friends, we worked together for about 10 years.”
Momentarily putting friendship to one side and aside, Jorge is confident of showing his dedication and heart in the ring, as well as his power.
Eight of his victories have landed by way of knockout and he wants to add one more.
“I believe that my drive is what stands out about me. I always go forward and pressure.That’s my forte. We both have power residing in our fists”.
Like many, a fan of Manny Pacquiao and looking to achieve the dream of being a champion in many divisions, Jorge Zárate plots to be a monarch and this fight in Ciudad Neza is one more regal step in search of his thrones.
He is excited and grateful to star in the show and thrilled by the support of another friend, namely Humberto “Chiquita” González.
May the best friend win!
“I feel very happy and motivated, that is what makes me willing to train so hard in the closing week, it motivates me, it makes me feel happy. It is a good card by La Chiquita and that they allowed us to close the show. It makes me very proud and very motivated.”
Zárate, a fourth-semester student of Communications at the Faculty of Political Science at UNAM, but who had to pause his swotting and now works in a barbershop, which isn’t a snip! He sent a message to his friend and rival.
“I would tell him that first of all, please God, we both get out of the ring well because I am going to input a lot.
“I am going to defeat him, because we are training hard.”
That’s what friends are for!
