At today's final press conference in Tabasco, Mexico - Jorge "Pantera" Silva reiterated his intention to confront Roberto "Massa" Ortiz, who will share the stage this Saturday in Villahermosa, Tabasco. Ortiz will defend his Silver junior welterweight world title of the World Boxing Council (WBC) against Jorge "Koky" Romero. Silva, who originally scheduled to fight former world champion Luis Collazo, is facing a last minute replacement. Silva has fought as high as 154, as he did last year in an exciting fight with Alfredo Angulo - but he feels that his best weight would likely be at 140-pounds.
