Jesús Marcelo Andrés Cuéllar (born December 28, 1986) is an Argentine professional boxer. He held the WBA(regular) featherweight title from 2015 to 2016, and has challenged once for the WBA super featherweight title in 2018.
Cuellar had an amateur record of 230 wins and 10 losses, and was a member of the Argentina national team.[2]
Cuellar was trained by former world champion and 2012 Trainer of the Year, Robert García.[3]
On August 23, 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]
On December 10, 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]
After coming off his third loss and 2 years of layoff, Cuellar returned to the ring against Gervonta Davis. On March 5, 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 April 21, 2018 Davis knocked Cuellar down three times en route to a third round knockout win.[7]
On November 2, 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]
