Masamichi Yabuki vs Rene Calixto + Andrew Moloney vs Willibaldo Garcia June 6th

Amazing card with the IBF Flyweight championship, second défense for the Japanese samurai Masamichi Yabuki 19-4 (18KOs) vs the Mexican Rene Calixto Bibiano former IBF Super Flyweight challenger and ranked number 5 by IBF in Flyweight, he moved down for that fight and his promoter is Tomoki Kameda. Normally Rene Calixto have a IBF Eliminator against Hasanboy Dusmatov, but the two time Olympic gold medalist failed to make the weight, so Rene Calixto is automatically the challenger.


And the other big fight of this card June 6th in Tokoname, Japan will be the Australian Andrew Moloney 28-4 (18KOs) ranked number 3 by IBF (there is no number 1 or 2) against the Mexican IBF Super Flyweight champion Willibaldo Garcia Perez 23-6-2 (13KOs) who will make the first defense of his IBF belt , the winner of this fight will probably defend the IBF Super Flyweight belt against Kenshiro Teraji !

Your predictions for Andrew Moloney vs Willibaldo Garcia Perez ?

 

my top 10 currently in Super Flyweight (115 lbs)

1- Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez
2- Tomoya Tsuboi
3- Fernando Daniel Martinez
4- Ryusei Kawaura
5- Ayumu Sano
6- Jack Turner
7- Aoi Murata
8- Charlie Edwards
9- Ryan Ho Han
10- Chocolatito


I don't think Willibaldo Garcia Perez and Andrew Moloney are still in the top 10 at 115 lbs. Anyway it's still a very good fight, I think it will be a draw or a SD for Andrew Moloney. David Jimenez & Rene Calixto they are also very good boxers in this category and very dangerous (Jimenez is very powerful physically and Rene Calixto have a high IQ in the ring even if he moved down at 112 lbs) , I will make them maybe 12 for Jimenez and 14 or 15 in my top 15 for Rene Calixto and a little bit more at 112 lbs.

 

Apparently Willibaldo Garcia Perez the IBF 115 lbs champion gets a purse bid of $267,750 dollars for that fight and the challenger Andrew Moloney will gets a purse bid of $47,250 for that fight.


We have to respect Andrew Moloney because he refused a offer of $250,000 for refused that fight and would have allowed the unification to happen between Jesse Rodriguez and Willibaldo Garcia. The problem is that Andrew Moloney is 35 years old and the fact that there is many chances that Jesse Rodriguez would have given up all the belts after this unification fight and the chance for Andrew Moloney to be world champion will be almost impossible if he need to wait again 2 or 3 years.

It's a smart move for me. I don't have Andrew Moloney in my top 10 at 115 lbs, but if we take the future champions for the other belts at 115 lbs : Fernando Daniel Martinez, Tomoya Tsuboi, Ayumu Sano, Aoi Murata, Jack Turner, Ryusei Kawaura, Hasanboy Dusmatov... Willibaldo Garcia Perez is definitely the easiest option for him right now to be a world champion.
