I truly believe he can be the next homegrown world champion from Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cortes said: \u201cThis is an incredible opportunity, and I\u2019m thankful to Bob Arum and everyone at Top Rank. Every time I fight, it\u2019s the \u2018Savage Show\u2019. I strive to entertain the fans and give them action-packed fights. With this contract, the sky is the limit. My goal is to fight in main events and eventually bring a world title home to Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cortes, who has a pair of amateur victories over former undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, emerged as a junior lightweight to watch in July 2020 with his off-the-deck decision victory over Alejandro Salinas.<\/p>\n<p>Last August, he broke through with a first-round stoppage over Genesis Servania. It was a short, brutal battle in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as Cortes leveled Servania with a left hook as the round ended. Servania, a former world title challenger, had never been knocked out in 12 years as a pro.<\/p>\n<p>Cortes followed up the Servania demolition with last November\u2019s third-round stoppage over Filipino veteran Mark Bernaldez.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisements<\/span><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle c9\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9000726840130589\" data-ad-slot=\"5195744256\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andres \u201cSavage\u201d Cortes (16-0, 9 KOs), the Las Veg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":17317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9948,755,10048,11323,2793,802],"tags":[12886,12885,9959,5158,853,2525,12887,2896,1801,896,4940,2800,12889,1180,12888],"class_list":["post-17316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-andres-cortes","category-boxing","category-fightmag-magazine","category-news","category-press-release","category-top-rank-boxing","tag-savage","tag-andres","tag-andres-cortes","tag-authored","tag-boxing","tag-contender","tag-cortes","tag-highlightreel","tag-junior","tag-lightweight","tag-news","tag-press-release","tag-string","tag-top-rank-boxing","tag-vegasborn",""],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martialartsclique.com\/ma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
