Well it is his first fight at Bantamweight. I think its ok for his first opponent at a bigger weight class.
Don't laugh at that record, That guy Thomas Rojas is a live underdog. He give Penalosa all hell in their fight in the Philippines. That guy is tall, Busy fighter & exciting.
Agreed, it makes perfect sense for both fighters. The winner gets a title shot/rematch against Mijares.
mate he's earned it let him fighht who he wants i was saying the same thing for judah in which he is criticiesed for not fighting a ranked fighter....:huh
Wait. Great Call. Proof that not only american fighters get hyped far beyond their abilities on HBO. Add in Darchynian as well.
On the flipside of that analogy, both Calzaghe and Mijares were already widely celebrated in their own countries, and heralded as great legit champions by many in the international boxing community, but for whatever reason ignored by our media until obliterating the guys who were supposed to steamroll them.
