Professional Career

 

Starting his professional journey in 2014, Cuevas quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. His debut fight against Jorge Santiago-Abel on October 18, 2014, at the Coliseo Cosme Beitia Salamo in Catano, where he won by unanimous decision, set the tone for his early career, displaying his foundational skills and competitive spirit. Building on his successful debut, Cuevas continued to accumulate wins, often concluding his bouts by knockout, showcasing his increasing prowess in the ring. His victory on November 14, 2014, against Rey Thomas Arroyo Figueroa marked his first professional knockout, ending the fight in the first round and signaling his potential as a knockout artist. This victory was a harbinger of the power Cuevas would continue to demonstrate, defining his early career trajectory.

 

Throughout 2015 and 2016, Cuevas maintained a strong momentum, delivering knockouts in most of his fights and rapidly ascending the ranks. Notable among these was his bout against Anthony Mercado Raices in December 2015, where he delivered a stunning knockout just 11 seconds into the first round, highlighting his formidable knockout capability.

 

Cuevas’ ability to finish fights decisively continued to be a theme as his career progressed, including a majority draw against Samuel Santana in September 2015 that showcased his capability to engage in tougher, more competitive matches. This fight demonstrated Cuevas’ resilience and ability to adapt under challenging conditions, traits that would serve him well in future bouts. In recent years, Cuevas has shown remarkable development, with significant victories that include a TKO win against Alberto Mosquera and a knockout against Marlon Aguas in 2023, both in Panama City.
