Yang wary of being lured by Cuenca's rope-a-dope

Patience and pressure the keys to Saturday's title clash in Macao It's show time for Ik Yang Lianui.

If the hammer-fisted junior welterweight from Dalian, Liaoning province, can strike a balance between patience and throwing punches in bunches, China will have a new world professional boxing champion on Saturday night.

Yang takes a 19-0 record and 14 knockouts into his showdown with Cesar Cuenca for the vacant IBF title at the Venetian Macao's Cotai Arena - but the Argentine southpaw represents a unique challenge.
