At 27, Antonio was clear that it was his last chance to fight for a world title. Clinging to his convictions, he fought with all his might and connected an uppercut, knocking out Frizzo and giving Pambelé the title. Antonio Cervantes, played by Jarlin Martínez is a black man, tall, thin, but with muscles marked by his constant training. As a child he had an immense burden on his shoulders and in his youth he was dazzled by his dreams of greatness. Being the eldest of his brothers, Antonio decided to take care of his family with the money that he obtained by selling cigarettes and shuffling shoes. However, at the expense of his mother's repeated scoldings, it was easier for him to get money in the street fights of the Malecón, where Clemente Roballo, the best of Colombia at the time, knows and discovers "The Kid Pambelé".
