    I haven't seen the decision loss yet; if anyone gets any intell on the decision, plese share. Not exactly a shock, but surely a surprise this loss, fair play Melvin, he's the number one now.

    I hope they let Ginjiro fight Melvin next, but they won't I guess.

    @PinoyProdigy did a mini RBR in the Kirk's league thread.

    Kinda throws the rankings for a bit of a loop, this. Collazo really did a number on Melvin, so he's got a case for being #1, too. Any permutation of Ginjiro-Melvin-Collozo would be fun, though.

    He has it fair, and he's rarely far from the mark.

    Fair decision. I scored it 114-112 for Jerusalem myself. He was able to score two knockdowns off his sniper-like counter right hand (the same one that ended Taniguch’s reign) and that basically won him the fight. Yudai came on strong in the last four rounds as Melvin’s defense started losing its armor. Fun fight.

    Collazo just called out Jerusalem on Twitter. He wants to unify and take a second belt from Melvin.
